    Notes: The vibrational and rotational distributions of CO(1Σ+g) produced in the 157 nm photodissociation of CO2 have been determined by measuring vacuum-ultraviolet laser-induced fluorescence spectra of the CO photoproduct. The photodissociation of CO2 is known to occur via two pathways; one yielding O(1D) and the other yielding O(3P). Spin conservation and previous experimental studies confirm that dissociation via the O(1D) channel is the dominant process. The available energy for this channel is sufficient to populate only the ground and first excited vibrational levels of CO. We measured the rotational distributions for CO in v=0 and v=1 and found them to be nonBoltzmann. In fact, a highly structured distribution with distinct peaks at J=10, 24, 32, and 39 is observed for CO in v=0. A less structured population is displayed by molecules in v=1. The relative vibrational population (v=0/v=1) was determined to be 3.7±1.2. Doppler spectra of individual rovibronic transitions were also recorded. The profiles have widths in accord with the available translational energy, display the expected v⊥J correlation, and are best described by an isotropic distribution of the velocity vectors with respect to the polarization direction of the dissociation light.

    Notes: Equilibrium and stability analyses have identified a class of tokamak configurations with conventional safety factor profiles (q0∼qmin(approximately-greater-than)1) at moderately high li(li∼1.0), and high normalized β(βN∼3.5–4.0), that are stable to the ideal n=1 kink without the requirement of wall stabilization. In contrast to previously identified high li, high βN equilibria, these configurations have high bootstrap current fractions (fBS∼50%–70%); they require only modest central current drive for maintaining steady state and are therefore compatible with advanced tokamak (AT) operation. Strong plasma shaping is crucial for achieving the high β and high bootstrap fraction simultaneously. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A tokamak equilibrium model, local to a flux surface, is introduced which is completely described in terms of nine parameters including aspect ratio, elongation, triangularity, and safety factor. By allowing controlled variation of each of these nine parameters, the model is particularly suitable for localized stability studies such as those carried out using the ballooning mode representation of the gyrokinetic equations. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The amplitude and frequency of modes driven in the edge region of tokamak high mode (H-mode) discharges [type I edge-localized modes (ELMs)] are shown to depend on the discharge shape. The measured pressure gradient threshold for instability and its scaling with discharge shape are compared with predictions from ideal magnetohydrodynamic theory for low toroidal mode number (n) instabilities driven by pressure gradient and current density and good agreement is found. Reductions in mode amplitude are observed in discharge shapes with either high squareness or low triangularity where the stability threshold in the edge pressure gradient is predicted to be reduced and the most unstable mode is expected to have higher values of n. The importance of access to the ballooning mode second stability regime is demonstrated through the changes in the ELM character that occur when second regime access is not available. An edge stability model is presented that predicts that there is a threshold value of n for second regime access and that the most unstable mode has n near this threshold. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Low aspect ratio tokamaks (LATs) can potentially provide a high ratio of plasma pressure to magnetic pressure β and high plasma current I at a modest size. This opens up the possibility of a high-power density compact fusion power plant. For the concept to be economically feasible, bootstrap current must be a major component of the plasma current, which requires operating at high βp. A high value of the Troyon factor βN and strong shaping is required to allow simultaneous operation at a high-β and high bootstrap fraction. Ideal magnetohydrodynamic stability of a range of equilibria at aspect ratio 1.4 is systematically explored by varying the pressure profile and shape. The pressure and current profiles are constrained in such a way as to assure complete bootstrap current alignment. Both βN and β are defined in terms of the vacuum toroidal field. Equilibria with βN≥8 and β∼35%–55% exist that are stable to n=∞ ballooning modes. The highest β case is shown to be stable to n=0,1,2,3 kink modes with a conducting wall. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The confinement and the stability properties of the DIII-D tokamak [Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1986 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 159] high-performance discharges are evaluated in terms of rotational and magnetic shear, with an emphasis on the recent experimental results obtained from the negative central magnetic shear (NCS) experiments. In NCS discharges, a core transport barrier is often observed to form inside the NCS region accompanied by a reduction in core fluctuation amplitudes. Increasing negative magnetic shear contributes to the formation of this core transport barrier, but by itself is not sufficient to fully stabilize the toroidal drift mode (trapped-electron-ηi mode) to explain this formation. Comparison of the Doppler shift shear rate to the growth rate of the ηi mode suggests that the large core E×B flow shear can stabilize this mode and broaden the region of reduced core transport. Ideal and resistive stability analysis indicates the performance of NCS discharges with strongly peaked pressure profiles is limited by the resistive interchange mode to low βN≤2.3. This mode is insensitive to the details of the rotational and the magnetic shear profiles. A new class of discharges, which has a broad region of weak or slightly negative magnetic shear (WNS), is described. The WNS discharges have broader pressure profiles and higher β values than the NCS discharges, together with high confinement and high fusion reactivity. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An upper bound and a lower bound of the effective trapped particle fraction, ft, in general tokamak equilibria are constructed by invoking the Schwartz inequality. A weighted average of these bounds that is easily evaluated is shown to give an accurate estimate of ft over a wide range of equilibrium parameters. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: "Pressure driven tokamaks'' are special tokamaks for which the rate of injection of energy and mass (e.g., by neutral beams) is so large that no drive for the toroidal current is needed. Examples of pressure driven tokamak equilibria are found numerically; for these examples, both the poloidal and the toroidal magnetic fields vanish in a region around the plasma center. Thus, the ratio between the plasma pressure and the magnetic field pressure is large, namely of order unity. Therefore, pressure driven tokamaks appear attractive for fusion reactors; it is, however, an open question whether there exist magnetohydrodynamically stable pressure driven equilibria. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In DIII-D [J. L. Luxon and L. G. Davis, Fusion Technol. 8, 441 (1985)] tokamak plasmas with an internal transport barrier (ITB), the comparison of gyrokinetic linear stability (GKS) predictions with experiments in both low and strong negative magnetic shear plasmas provide improved understanding for electron thermal transport within the plasma. Within a limited region just inside the ITB, the electron temperature gradient (ETG) modes appear to control the electron temperature gradient and, consequently, the electron thermal transport. The increase in the electron temperaturegradient with more strongly negative magnetic shear is consistent with the increase in the ETG mode marginal gradient. Closer to the magnetic axis the Te profile flattens and the ETG modes are predicted to be stable. With additional core electron heating, FIR scattering measurements near the axis show the presence of high k fluctuations (12 cm−1), rotating in the electron diamagnetic drift direction. This turbulence could impact electron transport and possibly also ion transport. Thermal diffusivities for electrons, and to a lesser degree ions, increase. The ETG mode can exist at this wave number, but it is computed to be robustly stable near the axis. Consequently, in the plasmas we have examined, calculations of drift wave linear stability do not explain the observed transport near the axis in plasmas with or without additional electron heating, and there are probably other processes controling transport in this region. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
