Performance of ECR heating during the first operational phase of W7-X
Wendelstein 7-X is an optimised stellarator designed for steady-state operation. The only steadystate capable heating system is electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) launching microwaves at 140GHz into the vessel corresponding to the 2nd harmonic of the electron cyclotron frequency at 2.5 T. A quasi optical transmission line is used to bring the power into the machine. The power is launch...
متن کاملDesign criteria of the bolometer diagnostic for steady-state operation of the W7-X stellarator.
A bolometric diagnostic system with features necessary for steady-state operation in the superconducting stellarator W7-X was designed. During a pulse length of 1800 s with an ECRH (electron cyclotron resonance heating) power of 10 MW, the components suffer not only from a large thermal load but also from stray radiation of the nonabsorbed isotropic microwaves. This paper gives an overview of t...
متن کاملTomography by the maximum entropy method for the W7-AS and W7-X multichannel bolometer systems
Amaximum entropy approach has been applied to the tomographic inversion of the line integrated measurements of radiation power ux by a multichannel bolometer system. This method was applied to a H-mode discharge in the W7-AS stellarator, with increasing radiation from the plasma core after the transition being observed. Also a neutral beam injection discharge was investigated, and the time evol...
متن کاملSubterahertz gyrotron developments for collective Thomson scattering in LHD.
Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) is expected to provide the spatially resolved velocity distribution functions of not only thermal and tail ions but also alpha particles resulting from fusion reactions. CTS using gyrotrons with frequency higher than the conventional ones used for plasma heating would have advantages to alleviate refraction, cutoff effects, and background electron cyclotron e...
متن کاملSelective ECR heating of trapped/passing electrons in the W7-X stellarator
Using specific features of the magnetic equilibrium in the W7-X stellarator, ECRH scenarios with X2 and X3 modes are discussed. The aim is to explore the possibility of selective heating of the different classes of electrons, passing and trapped, by different RF beams with different frequencies, which can be launched from ports located in different crosssections of the device. Perspectives for ...
