    Notes: An endloss spectrograph has been designed and is being fabricated for the Tara tandem mirror. This spectrograph is a double parallel-plate electrostatic analyzer about 60 cm in length with a 30° entrance angle; the high-voltage plate is a transparent wire cloth grid which allows higher energy particles to pass through for detection on a symmetric ground plane. The analyzer has three detection planes: first, the normal focal plane for low-energy detection at high resolution (0.1–4 keV); second, the entrance grounded plate for mid energies (4–6 keV); and third, the symmetric ground plane for coarse resolution at higher energies (8–20 keV). The analyzer is defocusing on the symmetric plane. This spectrograph will be able to measure simultaneously the endloss potential cutoff and ions from the neutral beams; in conjunction with a loss cone neutral beam source the resolution is sufficient (60 eV) to measure the plasma potential.

    Notes: The TARA Tandem Mirror Experiment has recently begun operation. The set of diagnostics available at this time is discussed. The following diagnostics are now in use: diamagnetic loops, a multichord microwave interferometer, Langmuir and emissive probes, pick-up loops, and secondary-emission detectors. End-loss diagnostics include net current detector arrays, Faraday cup arrays, swept particle analyzer arrays, and calorimetry. Light-emission measurements are made in the visible and VUV regions. A multichord fiber-optic array for plasma position detection is also used. In addition, a three-channel charge exchange analyzer, a hard x-ray system, and fast pressure gauges are available.

    Notes: An acousto-optic rf spectrometer (AOS) has been designed and constructed for use on the CONSTANCE B and TARA mirror experiments at MIT. The AOS is an analog preprocessor of data that can come from a variety of sources, including rf probes and microwave/laser scattering experiments. The output of the AOS is the Fourier transform amplitude of the input in a parallel format suitable for computer acquisition. The spectrometer, having a bandwidth of 500 MHz and a resolution of 1 MHz, together with its receiver, is capable of looking at fluctuations anywhere in the frequency range of a few MHz up to 4 GHz. Power levels of a few nanowatts can be detected. Complete 500-MHz-wide spectra can be processed and acquired at the rate of 1 every 10 μs. The optical components, receiver, and data-acquisition interface will be discussed, and initial data taken on the CONSTANCE B experiment will be shown.

    Two-color interferometer system for Alcator C-MOD (1988)

    Notes: High densities with sharp, fast rising profiles are expected during pellet injection in Alcator C-MOD. Consideration of interferometer systems other than far infrared will be needed to avoid refractive effects and make profile measurements during pellet injection possible. CO2 wavelengths are proving to be the most interesting from the standpoint of density measurements, with the necessary vibration subtraction provided by a coaxial He:Ne system. We will describe the two-color interferometer as it is presently designed and present results from simulations made of the system to determine noise levels, minimum measurable density, and optimal number and location of chords. Ray tracing results both with and without pellet injection will be compared. Possible fringe counting schemes will also be discussed.

    Multichord interferometer for edge density profiles in Alcator C-Mod (abstract) (1988)

    Notes: The preliminary design of a multichord imaging interferometer system used to measure the density profiles in the scrape-off layer of the Alcator C-Mod tokamak is presented. The system is envisioned to be a two-color vibration compensated double-pass interferometer based on a CO2 laser with λ=10.6 μm; the second color will either use He–Ne emission at 632.8 nm or 3.39 μm, depending on how serious the vibrations are expected to be. A toroidal view of the plasma near the vertical midplane is considered. We present systematic studies of the requirements on fringe resolution and edge density range, from which reasonably accurate profiles can be inferred. Requirements on the spatial resolution, number of detectors, and the possibility of obtaining 2-D images of the edge will be addressed. Longer wavelength alternatives using a FIR laser will also be studied; in this case the main concern is beam refraction caused by the density gradients in the edge region of interest. This work was supported by U. S. DOE Contract No. DE-AC02-78ET51013.

    Notes: An E (parallel) B end-loss ion spectrometer from the Livermore TMX-U tandem mirror experiment was installed on Tara for high-resolution ion spectroscopy. This diagnostic contains parallel electric and magnetic fields, separating the masses and energies of the ions over 128 collector plates. The ion energy distribution nominally yields confining potentials and parallel ion temperatures. Additional experiments have diagnosed the resonance position of the central cell ion cyclotron heating, rf enhanced losses of high-energy sloshing ions in the axicell ("plug''), and observation of MHD instabilities at higher time resolution (20 kHz).

    Pseudotomographic fitting algorithm for density profile reconstruction from a sparse 1-D interferometer array (1988)

    Notes: An algorithm has been developed for fast analysis of a sparse multichord interferometer array, yielding peak density, Gaussian width, radial offset, ellipticity, and instability amplitude and frequency from line-integrated density measurements. A nonlinear least-squares fit is performed over many short time intervals, with independent variables reduced to one dimension. Assumptions of plasma rigidity and slowly evolving rotation rate are necessary to trade temporal resolution (on instability timescales) for spatial resolution across the moving plasma column. Results from the Tara tandem mirror experiment are shown.

    Mode conversion electron heating in Alcator C-Mod: Theory and experiment : The 41st annual meeting of the division of plasma physics of the american physical society (2000)

    Notes: Localized electron heating [full width at half maximum of Δ(r/a)(approximate)0.2] by mode converted ion Bernstein waves (IBW) has been observed in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [I. H. Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994)]. These experiments were performed in D(3He) plasmas at high magnetic field (B0=7.9 T), high-plasma density (ne0≥1.5×1020 m−3), and for 0.05≤nHe-3/ne≤0.30. Electron heating profiles of the mode converted IBW were measured using a break in slope analysis of the electron temperature versus time in the presence of rf (radio frequency) modulation. The peak position of electron heating was found to be well-correlated with 3He concentration, in agreement with the predictions of cold plasma theory. Recently, a toroidal full-wave ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) code TORIC [M. Brambilla, Nucl. Fusion 38, 1805 (1998)] was modified to include the effects of IBW electron Landau damping at (k⊥ρi)2(very-much-greater-than)1, This model was used in combination with a 1D (one-dimensional) integral wave equation code METS [D. N. Smithe et al., Radio Frequency Power in Plasmas, AIP Conf. Proc. 403 (1997), p. 367] to analyze these experiments. Model predictions were found to be in qualitative and in some instances quantitative agreement with experimental measurements. A model for mode conversion current drive (MCCD) has also been developed which combines a toroidal full wave code with an adjoint evaluation of the ICRF current drive efficiency. Predictions for off-axis MCCD in C-Mod have been made using this model and will be described. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Effects of neutral particles on edge dynamics in Alcator C-Mod plasmas : The 41st annual meeting of the division of plasma physics of the american physical society (2000)

    Notes: Neutral particle densities and energy losses have been measured in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994)]. Their effect on the formation and evolution of the edge barrier which accompanies the enhanced confinement regime are discussed. The neutrals can enter the edge dynamics through the particle, momentum, and energy balance. Neutral densities of up to 5×1016 m−3 have been measured in the edge barrier region. Neutrals enter the local dynamics around most of the periphery, not just at the X-point. High resolution measurements of the ionization profile have been obtained for the region near the separatrix. The profile shifts inside the separatrix as the plasma is making a transition from low-to high-mode confinement (H-mode) regimes, partly accounting for the dramatic rise in edge density. The measured neutral density is large enough to affect the bulk ion momentum by charge exchange, and thereby introduces a negative radial electric field at the edge. At the same time, significant edge heat flux, carried by the neutrals, contributes to the measured power loss. At very high edge densities, this loss mechanism could contribute to quenching H-modes. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
