First neutron spectrometry measurement at the HL-2A Tokamak

A compact neutron spectrometer based on the liquid scintillator is presented for neutron energy spectrum measurements at the HL-2A Tokamak. The spectrometer was well characterized and a fast digital pulse shape discrimination software was developed using the charge comparison method. A digitizer data acquisition system with a maximum frequency of 1 MHz can work under an environment with a high count rate at HL-2A Tokamak. Specific radiation and magnetic shielding for the spectrometer were designed for the neutron spectrum measurement at the HL-2A Tokamak. For pulse height spectrum analysis, dedicated numerical simulation utilizing NUBEAM combined with GENESIS was performed to obtain the neutron energy spectrum. Subsequently, the transportation process from the plasma to the detector was evaluated with Monte Carlo calculations. The distorted neutron energy spectrum was folded with the response matrix of the liquid scintillation spectrometer, and good consistency was found between the simulated and measured pulse height spectra. This neutron spectrometer based on a digital acquisition system could be well adopted for the investigation of the auxiliary heating behavior and the fast-ion related phenomenon on different tokamak devices.

Beam Ion Transport from Neutron Emissivity Measurement in Deuterium Neutral Beam-Heated Deuterium Plasmas of the HL-2A Tokamak

An experiment at the HL-2A tokamak with a high-energy deuterium neutral beam （NB） injection （30 keV, about 0.6 MW） was performed. The emission of d-d fusion neutrons dominated by beam-plasmas reactions when the deuterium NB was injected into the deuterium target plasma was observed by means of a ^235U fission chamber. To obtain information on NB deposition and the slowing down of beam ions in HL-2A plasmas, a very short-pulse deuterium NB injection, or the so-called ＂blip＂ injection, was performed into MHD-quiescent Ohmic deuterium plasmas. Analysis of neutron decay following the NB ＂blip＂ injection indicates that tangentially injected beam ions are well confined, slowing down classically in the HL-2A. In contrast to the MHD-quiescent plasma, anomalous losses of beam ions were observed when tearing mode instabilities were present.

Observation of Fishbone-Like Instabilities Excited by Energetic Electrons on the HL-2A Tokamak

Strong burst of an internal kink mode is observed on the HL-2A tokamak. Features of the fishbone-like mode are presented. The fishbone-like instabihties can be driven during electron cyclotron resonance heating （ECRH） and can be excited on the high field side （HFS） by ECRH. It is found for the first time that the modes also present themselves on the low field side （LFS） during ECRH. Experiments show that the energetic electrons with energy of 35-70 keV play a dominant role in the excitation mechanism, and the experimental results are also consistent with our calculation ones.     

Study of runaway electron behaviour during electron cyclotron resonance heating in the HL-2A Tokamak

During the current flat-top phase of electron cyclotron resonance heating discharges in the HL-2A Tokamak, the behaviour of runaway electrons has been studied by means of hard x-ray detectors and neutron diagnostics. During electron cyclotron resonance heating, it can be found that both hard x-ray radiation intensity and neutron emission flux fall rapidly to a very low level, which suggests that runaway electrons have been suppressed by electron cyclotron resonance heating. From the set of discharges studied in the present experiments, it has also been observed that the efficiency of runaway suppression by electron cyclotron resonance heating was apparently affected by two factors: electron cyclotron resonance heating power and duration. These results have been analysed by using a test particle model. The decrease of the toroidal electric field due to electron cyclotron resonance heating results in a rapid fall in the runaway electron energy that may lead to a suppression of runaway electrons. During electron cyclotron resonance heating with different powers and durations, the runaway electrons will experience different slowing down processes. These different decay processes are the major cause for influencing the efficiency of runaway suppression. This result is related to the safe operation of the Tokamak and may bring an effective control of runaway electrons.
