    Notes: The radiation of divertor heat flux on DIII-D [J. Luxon et al., in Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), p. 159] is shown to greatly exceed the limits imposed by assumptions of energy transport dominated by electron thermal conduction parallel to the magnetic field. Approximately 90% of the power flowing into the divertor is dissipated through low-Z radiation and plasma recombination. The dissipation is made possible by an extended region of low electron temperature in the divertor. A one-dimensional analysis of the parallel heat flux finds that the electron temperature profile is incompatible with conduction-dominated parallel transport. Plasma flow at up to the ion acoustic speed, produced by upstream ionization, can account for the parallel heat flux. Modeling with the two-dimensional fluid code UEDGE [T. Rognlien, J. L. Milovich, M. E. Rensink, and G. D. Porter, J. Nucl. Mater. 196–198, 347 (1992)] has reproduced many of the observed experimental features. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An 8×8 array of Langmuir probes has been developed for measuring turbulent plasma parameters in tokamak edge plasmas. Fluctuations in plasma density ñ(r,θ,t) and floating potential φ˜f(r,θ,t) can be measured by the diagnostic, as well as the steady state (dc), profiles in n¯e(r,θ) and φ¯f(r,θ). The signal from each probe is processed by individual custom pre-amplifier circuits and the data from all probes are acquired simultaneously by a custom CAMAC based data acquisition system. This data acquisition system has 10 bit resolution with a maximum speed of 20 MS/s and has applications for various types of tokamak diagnostic arrays. Design considerations for the probe array and data acquisition system are discussed. Preliminary results from the probe array will be presented. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A method for the measurement of electron temperature with high spatial and temporal resolution was recently implemented on a fast reciprocating probe on the DIII-D tokamak. The technique, previously used on the Torus Experiment for Technology Oriented Research, is based on detection of harmonics generated in the current spectrum of a single Langmuir probe driven by high-frequency sinusoidal voltage. The method was implemented on DIII-D with a drive frequency of 400 kHz and with improvements such as fully digital processing and active voltage feedback, thus allowing temperature measurements with a bandwidth of up to 200 kHz. Probe voltage and current were recorded at the sampling rate of 5 MHz and the amplitudes of the first (400 kHz) and the second (800 kHz) current harmonics were extracted by digital filtering. Digital processing does not introduce any phase delays (as analog detection does), making the technique suitable for correlation measurements. Electron temperatures obtained from the harmonic diagnostic are in reasonable agreement with swept double probe and Thomson scattering data. First measurements of the conductive turbulent heat flux in DIII-D have been performed. The measured values of the heat flux are consistent with the power balance. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.
