    Notes: The gas mixture effect upon the negative ion temperature in negative ion sources has been studied by the laser photodetachment technique. The ion source is operated at hydrogen pressure from 0.05 to 2.0 Pa. Then argon gas is added up to 100% of the hydrogen pressure. Maximum enhancement of the negative ion density is observed at around a 20%–40% argon to hydrogen mixture in the low hydrogen pressure region. The recovery time for the electron current signal after photodetachment becomes longer when more argon is added to hydrogen plasmas, indicating a lower negative ion temperature. © 2002 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The Large Helical Device (LHD) is the largest helical machine with superconducting coils. Key diagnostics issues for LHD are: (a) capability for multidimensional measurements because of the nonaxisymmetric toroidal plasma; (b) measurements of the electric field; (c) cross check of fundamental parameters using different methods; (d) advanced measurements appropriate for steady-state operation; and (e) a satisfactory data acquisition system. The design and research and development of plasma diagnostics were carried out taking these issues into consideration. As a result, the present status of diagnostics is described: diagnostics for LHD operation, fundamental diagnostics for plasma performance, diagnostics for physics subjects, innovative diagnostics and diagnostics for long-pulse operation. The LHD experiment started in March, 1998. Since then, the development of diagnostics has kept pace with the experimental campaigns. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Semiconductor detectors based on natural diamonds have been installed on the Large Helical Device (LHD) heliotron to measure the energy distribution of charge exchange fast neutral particles from different viewing angles. Advantages of a natural diamond detector (NDD) are (1) very compact size, (2) relatively easy handling, and (3) high energy resolution. Although NDDs are sensitive to visible light, vacuum ultraviolet, and soft x rays, unfavorable pulses produced by such radiation were greatly reduced by choosing an appropriate stainless steel shield in this experiment. In LHD, the time-resolved energy distribution of counter-going beam ions and ion cyclotron range of frequency-produced energetic ions have been successfully obtained by means of an NDD. The performance of NDDs as a neutral particle analyzer and its good suitability to LHD plasmas were demonstrated throughout this work. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Neutron cameras with horizontal and vertical views have been designed for ITER, based on systems used on JET and TFTR. The cameras consist of fan-shaped arrays of collimated flight tubes, with suitably chosen detectors situated outside the biological shield. The sight lines view the ITER plasma through slots in the shield blanket and penetrate the vacuum vessel, cryostat, and biological shield through stainless steel windows. This article analyzes the expected performance of several neutron camera arrangements for ITER. In addition to the reference designs, we examine proposed compact cameras, in which neutron fluxes are inferred from 16N decay gammas in dedicated flowing water loops, and conventional cameras with fewer sight lines and more limited fields of view than in the reference designs. It is shown that the spatial sampling provided by the reference designs is sufficient to satisfy target measurement requirements and that some reduction in field of view may be permissible. The accuracy of measurements with 16N-based compact cameras is not yet established, and they fail to satisfy requirements for parameter range and time resolution by large margins. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A dc-mode He− source of the double charge exchange type has been developed for the purpose of application to alpha-particle measurement. Because the optimum energy for the two-step two-electron capture process in a rubidium vapor was reported to be around 6 keV, the essential point of development is extraction of an intense He+ beam at relatively low energy. As the discharge current of the He+ ion source is increased, the focusing property deteriorates, and higher electrostatic field is required for extraction. A He− current of 0.07 mA is continuously obtained from a He+ beam extracted from a 6 mm diameter single hole. The conversion efficiency from He+ to He− is about 2%–3% in the energy region of 5–10 keV. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A calibration experiment of the neutron counters of the Compact Helical System (CHS) has been carried out in order to determine the calibration factor which relates the neutron-counter output to the extended neutron source of a torus plasma. The instruments employed in the present experiment include a BF3 proportional counter, a 3He proportional counter, an NE213 organic liquid scintillator. The BF3 counter was installed at the center of the CHS torus and the other two detectors were installed outside the torus. A total of 64 toroidal angles along the magnetic axis of plasma were surveyed by the movement of a 252Cf neutron source. The poloidal cross section of the CHS plasma is elliptical in shape and rotates toroidally with the same period as that of the helical coil. The spatial distribution of 25 local point efficiencies in three poloidal cross sections with elongated orientations of 0°, 45°, and 90° were investigated in order to determine the influence of the plasma profile on the calibration factor. The shadow and scattering effects were clearly observed by the center counter when the source was located behind the helical coil. The calibration factor for the BF3 counter, obtained by averaging the point efficiencies over all the toroidal angles, was 3.6×10−4 counts per neutron, about several ten times greater than those of the counters located outside the torus. Details of the calibration setup and the analysis of experimental results are presented. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Several improvements in the high-voltage heavy-ion-beam probe (HIBP) are discussed. (1) It is clearly found that the precision slide mount of the detector plates 30° parallel to the base electrode is very effective for the determination of the in-plane entrance angle of the beam in the analyzer to estimate the error in the potential measurement. (2) A two-staged optical trap in the HIBP greatly reduced the effect of the UV radiation in the analyzer. (3) A multiple-plate detector up to 13 measurement points clearly showed the direction of the propagation of the turbulence and path-integral effects. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Active control of beam trajectories using four sets of sweep plates is proposed for a heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system on helical plasma, such as torsatron, stellarator, etc., in order to solve problems arising from the complicated beam trajectories in its nonaxisymmetrical magnetic field. By this method, a series of the probing beam trajectories giving a whole potential distribution can be managed to pass at a particular point (detector aperture) with the same angle. An equation is introduced as a guiding principle to simplify the optimization process of geometrical configuration of the HIBP system, which will be adjusted for different magnetic configurations by only changing the sweep plate voltages.

    Notes: A filament-type helium ion source has been developed for the purpose of alpha particle diagnostics and as a test beam for electrostatic quadrupole transport experiments. We have obtained preliminary results of He+ beam current, ∼60 mA/cm2. The normalized brightness of this beam is ∼1010 A/(m rad)2. The normalized emittance (90%) measured by multislit faraday cup emittance meter is ∼0.6 mm mrad below 100 V, 10 A arc discharge. The effects of plasma parameters in the source on the beam emittance and on the beam perveance are discussed. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma production method using electron cyclotron wave is presented. This method is not subjected to any cutoff-density scaling, and is capable of generating dense plasmas far beyond the critical density of an ordinary wave. It has been demonstrated that a plasma density more than 1013 cm−3 (argon) is obtained with a low frequency (2.45 GHz) and low power (11 kW) microwave. The experimental results and the application to plasma neutralizer are described. The experimental verification of superpermeability of Nb membrane in a plasma environment is in progress to develop a plasma neutralizer with Nb-membrane wall. The design parameters of Nb-membrane pump are presented. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.
