EAST高时空分辨极向弯晶谱仪系统的升级及初步实验结果

为了拓宽等离子体参数测量范围,对EAST极向弯晶谱仪(PXCS)进行了升级改造。配合高通量大面积水冷固体探测器,提高了极向弯晶谱仪系统的光子计数率、时间分辨率、空间探测范围以及长时间运行稳定性,并在EAST装置上成功运行。实验结果表明,升级后的谱仪获得了高信噪比的类氦氩离子的母线及其一系列伴线谱,通过光谱拟合分析给出了等离子体温度时间演化及其剖面信息,测量结果与切向弯晶谱仪的数据一致,验证了极向弯晶谱仪的升级结果和数据测量的可靠性,并且在EAST长脉冲实验运行也能够稳定地提供全时间的参数分布。     

Toroidal rotation induced by 4.6 GHz lower hybrid current drive on EAST tokamak

Using a tangentially viewing x-ray imaging crystal spectrometer, substantial co-current rotation driven by lower hybrid current drive(LHCD) at 4.6 GHz is observed on EAST tokamak. This study presents plasma rotation behaviors with 4.6 GHz LHCD injection. Typically, the 10-20 km/s co-current rotation change and the transport of rotation velocity from edge to core are observed. The relationship between plasma parameters and rotation is also investigated, indicating that rotation decreases with increasing internal inductance(l_i) and increases with increasing safety factor(q_0). Hysteresis between rotation and T_e plasma stored energy is observed, suggesting different response times between the electron heating and rotation acceleration by LHCD. A comparison between the rotations driven by 4.6 G LHCD and 2.45 G LHCD on EAST is also presented, in which higher frequency LHCD could induce more rotation changes.     

快速真空紫外光谱诊断在EAST实验的初步应用

为了在EAST装置上开展高参数放电条件下边界杂质辐射的实验研究,发展了真空紫外(VUV)光谱诊断系统。该系统采用了焦距为200mm的Seya-Namioka型VUV光谱仪,并配备了600g·mm^-1凹面全息光栅,所能观测的波长范围为50~700nm,覆盖真空紫外、近紫外和可见光波段。系统在垂直方向的观测范围为Z=-350~350mm。利用该系统开展了EAST边界杂质谱线的实验研究。通过分析CⅣ(154.8nm)杂质和FeⅡ(235nm)的谱线强度的时间演化行为,验证了该系统谱线强度测量的准确性与可靠性。通过分析CⅠ(365.2nm)杂质辐射强度在加热功率调制下的时间演化行为,验证了该系统研究较短时间尺度的杂质辐射行为的可行性。
