RESUMO

Measurements of ion temperature profiles are required to assess the energy and particle transport processes in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator. This device is equipped with a diagnostic alkali beam, which can be utilized to determine local impurity temperatures and densities by Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS). It could provide such profiles in the edge plasma, where other diagnostics are less efficient. With this contribution, first results of CXRS measurements on the sodium beam from the scientific operation phase OP2.1 are presented. The spectroscopic system was in commissioning phase lacking some of the final optical components. Thus, the aim of the diagnostics during this campaign was to explore the measurement capabilities. Based on the processed spectra, the prospects of C5+ and C6+ ion temperature and concentration measurements are discussed. The results indicate that with the final optical setup under installation, the diagnostics could provide ion temperature profiles in the edge with 3 mm radial resolution and at least 1 s temporal resolution.

RESUMO

A method is presented for the swift reconstruction of electron density profiles measured by the alkali beam emission spectroscopy. It is based on the linearization of the governing rate equations and leads to a direct calculation for obtaining the profiles. The uncertainties of the measurement are incorporated into the problem through the utilization of Tikhonov regularization and the generalized least squares method. An approximation for the uncertainty of the reconstructed density data is calculated as well. The applicability of the method is tested against both simulated and real experimental results of the W7-X stellarator.

RESUMO

Diagnosing the density profile at the edge of high temperature fusion plasmas by an accelerated lithium beam is a known technique since decades. By knowledge of the relevant atomic physics rate coefficients, the plasma electron density profile can be calculated from the relatively calibrated light profile along the beam. Several additional possibilities have already been demonstrated: Charge Exchange Resonance Spectroscopy (CXRS) for ion temperature/flow and Zeeman polarimetry for edge plasma current; therefore the Li-beam diagnostic offers a wealth of information at the plasma edge. The weaknesses of the method are the relatively faint light signal, background light, and technical difficulties of the beam injector which usually seriously limit the applicability. In this talk, we present systematic developments in alkali-beam diagnostics (Li, Na) for the injector and the observation system and detectors which resulted in strongly increased capabilities. Advanced systems have been built, and microsecond scale density profile, turbulence, and zonal flow measurement have been demonstrated. A novel edge current measurement technique has also been designed, and components have been tested with potential microsecond-scale time resolution. Additional possibilities of these advanced systems for spectral measurements (CXRS and various Zeeman schemes) are also discussed.
