    Notes: An analysis of experimental data from the reversed field experiment (RFX) reversed field pinch machine [L. Fellin, P. Kusstatscher, and G. Rostagni, Fusion Eng. Des. 25, 315 (1995)] is carried out to investigate the possible existence of deterministic chaos in the edge plasma region. The mathematical tools used include Lyapunov exponents, Kaplan–Yorke dimension, minimum embedding dimension estimates and nonlinear forecasting. The whole analysis agrees in ruling out the possibility of low-dimensional chaos: The dimension of the underlying dynamical system is estimated to be 〉10. From a critical rereading of the literature it emerges that the findings of this work are likely to be common to all reversed field pinches. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In the reversed field experiment the electron temperature and density at the edge are measured from the intensity ratio of selected lines emitted by an atomic helium beam injected into the plasma. Helium is injected through a single microtube 30 mm long and with 150 μm of internal diameter. Four beam splitters allow three interference filters, coupled to linear array cameras or alternatively to photomultipliers, and a charge coupled device camera to observe the same beam volume. The application of photomultipliers as detectors has recently increased the time resolution of the diagnostic. This allows following the time evolution of edge density and temperature during nonstationary processes. Moreover, the enhanced time resolution increases the capability of the diagnostic to measure the edge electron temperature and density fluctuations, which are relevant to the edge electrostatic transport studies. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The conceptual feasibility of an active spectroscopic diagnostic on reversed field experiment (RFX) to measure the radial profiles of ion temperature, toroidal and poloidal drift velocities, and main impurity densities is examined. In particular a charge exchange recombination spectroscopy experiment is simulated for carbon and helium impurities. The motional Stark effect on the beam atoms injected into RFX is estimated as a means to measure the magnetic field pitch and intensity. A modulated beam injector (500 Hz) with 2 A of equivalent current and an energy of 50 keV/amu appears to be adequate to perform the measurements over a reasonable range of operational regimes. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The vacuum Czerny–Turner high-resolution spectrometer observing the plasma of the reversed-field-pinch device RFX has been absolutely calibrated in the spectral range 1215–7000 A(ring), in order to measure the emission spectrum in absolute units, with particular reference to the heliumlike carbon and oxygen ion lines. The source used to calibrate the spectrometer in the vacuum and near-ultraviolet region is a deuterium lamp; its spectral radiance was determined by comparison with the synchrotron radiation of the electron storage ring BESSY, in Berlin. A typical error of 35% has been estimated. In the visible a standard tungsten lamp has been used. The calibration has been transferred to an ultragrazing incidence XUV spectrometer by means of the branching-ratio technique, using the intensity ratio between the intercombination 1s2 1S–1s2p 3P0 and the 1s2s 3S–1s2p 3P0 transitions of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen heliumlike ions. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract The experimental determination of the radial electric field E r and the associated E × B drift velocity at the edge of RFX is presented and possible mechanisms responsible for its generation are discussed. E r measurements by means of an array of Langmuir probes and those deduced from Doppler spectroscopy of impurity lines agree fairly well. In particular the rotation velocity of the plasma edge has been determined from the Doppler shift of a C III emission line. The observation of other ions characterised by different radial positions, such as B IV and C V, has allowed an estimate of the velocity shear. Typical values of plasma rotation at the edge are around 10 km/s while the velocity shear is of the order of (105–106)s−1 in the spontaneous layer, a few cm thick, usually observed in standard discharges. Plasma rotation has been artificially modified by both positive and negative edge biasing and the associated increase or decrease of the fluid velocity is well in agreement with the radial electric field change. The modification of E r during edge biasing and Pulsed Poloidal Current Drive (PPCD) are also reported and interpreted within a momentum balance model. Analytical and self-consistent Monte Carlo models at the plasma edge suggest that impurities have a relevant role in the generation of the radial electric field, due to their relatively large Larmor radius.
