HL—1装置逃逸电子扰动及硬X射线发射

HL-1装置逃逸电子扰动,硬X射线锯齿振荡和软X射线锯齿振荡关联,内破裂后硬X射线发射强度到其峰值的延迟时间,被解释为逃逸电子从q=1面附近输运到等离子体边缘时间。当有电子回旋共振预电离时,硬X射线显著减少;相反,电子回旋共振加热时,硬X射线明显地增加。     

HL—1装置的硬X射线锯齿振荡

软X射线的锯齿振荡,在ST,Pulsator和TEXT等装置上已观测到;在Pulsator和PLT上已研究了硬X射线锯齿波。PLT和Pulsator观测结果为,产生的硬X射线锯齿振荡为反锯齿和内破裂的软X射线锯齿相对应。Pulsator的硬X射线锯齿和软X射线锯齿一样,这种趋势一直持继到放电结束,而硬X射线峰值发生在软X射线内破裂后大约200μs。PLT的硬X射线锯齿比软X射线锯齿延迟1至5ms。本工作目的是在内破裂后,从软、硬X射线锯齿波对比,观测硬X射线到达峰值这段延迟时间,并以此来量度逃逸电子约束时间。     

HL—1M等离子体的复合锯齿振荡

用软X射线二极管阵列可以很容易地探测到在等离子体内部形成的软X射线辐射扰动的锯齿振荡波形,根据观测到的锯齿振荡的某些特征可以定性地确定等离子体芯部的磁场位形。在托卡马克等离子体加热过程中,电子加热和电流穿透使得电流分布不断峰化、中心磁轴附近的安全因子下降,当中心安全因子q(0)＜1时在q=1磁面附近形成磁岛,磁岛的增长和重联构成了一个完整的锯齿振荡波形。由于电流分布的峰化而形成的振荡被称为单锯齿振荡,振荡的周期和幅度具有单一的特性,尽管它们会随着放电条件的改变而变化,但振荡的单一性保持不变,破裂位于中心磁轴位置。在特定的条件下,当等离子体电流变成中空分布而且在等离子体内部出现两个q=1磁面时,复合锯齿取代常规的单锯齿,它们或者有规则地连续出现,或者间或地出现在单锯齿之间,这取决于中空电流分布的维持程度。我们在HL－1M装置上通过测量软X坶辐射扰动观测到等离子体的复合锯齿振荡。本文叙述的就是在离轴电子回旋共振加热期间所观测到的复合锯齿振荡及其产生的条件,并对锯齿产生的可能的机制作了定性的描述。

HL-lM装置杂质粒子输运与约束特性

在HL-lM装置上利用激光吹气技术,在等离子体边缘瞬态注入少量Al杂质粒子,通过对真空紫外光谱和软X射线区的杂质辐射测量,分别研究了欧姆等离子体和低杂波电流驱动等离子体两种情况下,Al杂质粒子输运与约束特性。结果表明：在欧姆等离子体和低杂波电流驱动等离子体两种情况下,等离子体中心区,在没有MHD锯齿震荡和有MHD锯齿震荡非锯齿破裂期间,杂质粒子输运基本上受新经典规律支配;在有MHD锯齿震荡锯齿破裂期间,杂质粒子输运受MHD不稳定性支配,但其时间很短(通常小于300μs),所以在这种情况下,杂质粒子输运的平均效应比新经典值稍大。而约束区杂质粒子输运则比新经典的值大很多,是反常的。在一定条件下低混杂波电流驱动可以改善等离子体粒子约束。

锯齿型振荡之谜

磁约束等离子体的一个共同特征是经常出现各种类型的不稳定性,其一般表现是:扰动先以指数规律随时间增长,然后趋向饱和或导致急剧的破坏.但是,使人十分惊异的是,1973年在美国的ST托卡马克中发现了软X射线辐射呈现弛豫振荡的形式.至今,在所有的托卡马克中均发现了这种振荡:等离子体的各种物理性质(特别是温度和密度)随时间的变化表现为锯齿型振荡.在等离子体中心区,温度先以较慢的速率爬升,然后以一个短得多的时间尺度(典型的为100μs量级)突然下降(“崩溃”).这个过程多次重复出现,形成锯齿型振荡的波形.这种现象不能简单地用通常的不稳定…     

Study of sawtooth oscillations on the HT-7 tokamak using 2D tomography of soft x-ray signal

It is the first time so far as we know that two arrays of multi-channel soft x-ray detectors are used to generate twodimensional （2D） images of sawtooth oscillation on the HT-7 tokamak using the Fourier-Bessel harmonic reconstruction method, and using the singular value decomposition to analyse the data from soft x-ray cameras. By these two arrays, 2D image reconstruction of soft x-ray emissivity can be obtained without assumption of plasma rigid rotation. Tomographic reconstruction of the m=1 mode structure is obtained during the precursor oscillation of the sawtooth crash. The crescent-shaped mode structure appearing on the contour map of the soft x-ray emissivity is consistent with the quasiinterchange mode. The characteristics of the m=1/n=1 mode structure observed in the soft x-ray tomography are as follows： the magnetic surface is made up of the crescent-shaped “hot core” and the circular “cold bubble”. The structure of the magnetic surface rotates in the direction of the electron diamagnetic drift and the rotation frequency is the oscillation frequency of soft x-ray signals.

Application of Zernicke polynomials on HT-7 tomography

Zernicke polynomials method was first used in HT-7 tomography. Combining the characteristics of the soft X-ray imaging system in HT-7 tokamak, some of the technical consideration in applicating the tomography method are reported in this Letter. Through analyzing experimental soft X-ray data of a typical discharge with m=1 mode superimposed on sawtooth, it is shown that in the mid-mode and precursor phases, the central magnetic surface structure is composed of a hot core and a small magnetic island. In the crash phase, the hot core is obviously pushed outside and evolves into a crescent. The magnetic island is large. In addition, we compared the reconstructions obtained with Zernicke polynomials method and the Fourier-Bessel expansion method. The comparison result shows that as the magnetic island is large, Zernicke polynomials method seems more suitable to reconstruct the central plasma emissivity distribution on HT-7 tokamak. At last, through analyzing the oscillation amplitude and island size of the m=1 mode superimposed on sawtooth, it is thought that the large oscillation amplitude is due to large pressure gradient at the vicinity of inversion surface.     

Preliminary result of an advanced tangential X-ray pinhole camera system with a duplex MWPC on KSTAR plasma

An advanced tangential X-ray pinhole camera (TXPC) has been developed for KSTAR by utilizing a 2-D duplex multi-wire proportional counter (MWPC) detector. The KSTAR MWPC employs a 2-D parallel type readout system for high temporal resolution and adopts a duplex type for the capability of electron temperature measurement via the multi-color method. This paper presents the performance test result of the developed MWPC system utilizing a Fe-55 X-ray source. As a preliminary experimental result from the 2012 KSTAR campaign, the clear presentation of sawtooth activities and its frequency change, and 2-D plasma images during the vertical disruption event are given.     

The Diffusion Coefficient Using Sawtooth Oscillation in IR-T1 Tokamak

The investigation of runaway electrons is expanded by different methods. The aim of this study is to show sawtooth oscillations of hard x-ray emission and with the help of sawtooth oscillations to obtain radial diffusion coefficient and magnetic fluctuations. In the same way, the hard x-ray spectral evaluation is compared in several time intervals and it is shown that during discharge,the energy of the runaway electrons is less than 200 keV. Also,for typical plasmas, population of runaway electrons is measured at seven time intervals of 5 ms and temporal evaluation of runaway electron mean energy. The sawtooth-like shape is observed in the hard x-ray range(10-1000 keV). By the sawtooth oscillation method, the RE diffusion coefficient in radial transport in the IR-T1 plasma is D_r~0.5 m~2 s~(-1). The magnetic field fluctuation due to magnetic diffusion D_m is given as br/Br~10~(-4).

Tomographic analysis of the central magnetohydrodynamic oscillations on the HT-7 tokamak

Multi-channel soft x-ray (SX) detectors are applied to generate images of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) oscillation on the HT-7 tokamak, and the data from SX cameras are analysed by using the Fourier--Bessel harmonic reconstruction method and the singular value decomposition. The image reconstruction of SX emissivity is obtained on the assumption of plasma rigid rotation. One of the important phenomena in the HT-7 discharge is the transition from the sawtooth oscillations to the MHD oscillations when the plasma density grows higher. The MHD structure observed in the SX tomography is featured as follows: the magnetic surface of MHD structure is made up of the crescent-shaped ``hot core' and the circular ``cold bubble'. The structure of the magnetic surface is relatively stable. It rotates in the direction of the electron diamagnetic drift at a frequency being the oscillation frequency of the MHD oscillations.
