    Notes: Pellet fueling and impurity transport have been investigated in high poloidal-beta (βp) and reversed shear (RS) plasmas. It is observed that pellet injection from the high-field side at the top is more effective for density increase in the neutral-beam-heated plasma compared with pellet injection from the low-field-side midplane. This observation is consistent with the radial displacement theoretically predicted based on the E×B drift model, where deeper deposition is suggested for the high-field-side pellet injection. Using the high-field-side top pellets, the accessible density region of the high βp plasmas is extended to 70% of the Greenwald density with a confinement enhancement factor over the ITER89P scaling of 1.94, a normalized beta of 2.2, and a bootstrap current fraction of 60%. The impurity diffusivity at the internal transport barrier is only higher by a factor of 2–4 than the neoclassical prediction in the RS plasma. In contrast, the impurity diffusivity is two orders of magnitude higher than the neoclassical prediction and smaller by a factor of 5 than the theoretical prediction based on turbulence model in the high βp plasma. The helium-exhaust capability is enhanced and Zeff is reduced by increasing divertor recycling in the RS plasma, although confinement degrades with increasing divertor recycling. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Particle confinement was compared for the high confinement mode plasmas with the edge localized mode in the Japan Atomic Energy Research Institute Tokamak-60 Upgrade (JT-60U) [S. Ishida, JT-60 Team, Nucl. Fusion 39, 1211 (1999)] and the DIII-D tokamak [J. L. Luxon et al., Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1986 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), Vol. 1, p. 159] considering separate confinement times for particles supplied by neutral beam injection (NBI) (center fueling) and by recycling and gas-puffing (edge fueling). Similar dependence on the NBI power was obtained in JT-60U and DIII-D. The particle confinement time for center fueling in DIII-D was smaller by a factor of 4 in the low density discharges and by a factor of 1.8 in the high density discharges than JT-60U scaling, respectively, suggesting the stronger dependence on the density in DIII-D. The particle confinement time for edge fueling in DIII-D was comparable with JT-60U scaling in the low density discharges. However, it decreased to a much smaller value in the high density discharges. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A millimeter-wave interferometer having a capability of concomitant electron temperature measurement, based on the electron cyclotron absorption (ECA) technique, has been developed for divertor diagnostics in JT-60U. Three lines of sight, which pass through the X point horizontally, the inboard divertor and the outboard divertor, are chosen. Two transmitter/receiver units with frequencies of 217 and 183 GHz are employed in order to eliminate the spurious vibration effect using a two color scheme. The two independent units are also arranged to enable two sight line measurements without the vibration compensation. Furthermore, these units allow us to apply the simultaneous ECA diagnostic. Due to the complexity of the transmission line inside the tokamak, the insertion loss is as large as 65 dB. However, the interferometer system can be operated with the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of about 20 dB due to the low equivalent input noise of −90 dB m. The measurements performed for several types of the JT-60U discharges indicate the feasibility of the system and the rapid reduction of the electron density near the X point at the high confinement mode transition is first demonstrated. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
