Synchrotron radiation intensity and energy of runaway electrons in EAST tokamak

A detailed analysis of the synchrotron radiation intensity and energy of runaway electrons is presented for the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST). In order to make the energy of the calculated runaway electrons more accurate, we take the Shafranov shift into account. The results of the analysis show that the synchrotron radiation intensity and energy of runaway electrons did not reach the maximum at the same time. The energy of the runaway electrons reached the maximum first, and then the synchrotron radiation intensity of the runaway electrons reached the maximum.We also analyze the runaway electrons density, and find that the density of runaway electrons continuously increased. For this reason, although the energy of the runaway electrons dropped but the synchrotron radiation intensity of the runaway electrons would continue rising for a while.     

EAST托卡马克上共振磁扰动对锯齿行为的影响

锯齿振荡是托卡马克装置上常见的磁流体不稳定性之一.先进实验超导托卡马克(experimental advanced superconducting Tokamak,EAST)装置放电中观察到外加共振磁扰动(resonant magnetic perturbation,RMP)会影响锯齿振荡行为.本文研究了环向模数n=2的RMP对锯齿周期的影响.通过RMP线圈相位差扫描实验发现,当RMP上下线圈(n=2)相位差Δφ_UL发生变化时,扰动场的谱型发生变化,锯齿周期和崩塌幅度也随之发生明显的改变.单流体电阻磁流体力学(MARS-F)程序分析表明,在相同实验条件下,当RMP上下线圈(n=2)相位差为Δφ_UL=270°时,等离子体芯部区域的响应最强,此时锯齿周期和幅度最小.锯齿行为的改变可能与RMP引起的快离子损失相关.该研究利用RMP上下线圈(n=2)实现对锯齿行为的有效调控,有利于未来EAST发展高比压放电条件下的大锯齿自动控制技术.
