    Notes: A technique is described to determine the spatial x-ray flux emitted from a hohlraum wall and subsequently transmitted through a diagnostic hole. This technique uses x-ray diodes, bolometers, and a time-resolved pinhole camera to determine the spatial flux of x rays emitted through a hohlraum's diagnostic hole. The primary motivation for this analysis was the relatively long duration, nearly 100 ns, of the x-ray drive present in z-pinch driven hohlraums. This radiation causes plasma to ablate from the hohlraum walls surrounding the diagnostic hole and results in a partial obscuration that reduces the effective area over which diagnostics view the radiation. The effective change in area leads to an underestimation of the wall temperature when nonimaging diagnostics such as x-ray diodes and bolometers are used to determine power and later to infer a wall temperature. An analysis similar to the one described below is then necessary to understand the radiation environment present in x-ray driven hohlraums when these diagnostics are used and hole closure is important. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An instrument is described which can obtain x-ray spectral power measurements utilizing the diffraction pattern produced when x rays pass through a slit. Traditionally, these types of measurements yielding low to moderate spectral resolution have been made with filtered x-ray diodes or with a transmission grating. The instrument described below has several advantages over filtered x-ray diodes in determining the spectral power profile such as an insensitivity to surface contamination. In addition, this instrument does not require the use of filters which can be destroyed during a shot making absolute measurements difficult and very time consuming. The advantages over a transmission grating system include cost, mechanical robustness, and fewer components which require spectral calibration. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A simple model that represents the microstructure of magnetic medium as a rectangular tesselation predicts that the mean-square jitter is inversely proportional to the track width. We test this prediction using different width heads as well as creating different track widths by partially erasing the original track. We also simulate these experiments using a micromagnetic model. Our experimental and simulation results are found to be in agreement with the prediction. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A 193 nm excimer laser and a custom fabricated cylindrical lens system is used to produce a plasma sheet of 8 cm×30 cm×0.4 cm in tetrakis(dimethylamino)ethylene (TMAE), a low ionization energy organic gas. Plasma density variation due to photon absorption is studied by scanning the filling pressure of TMAE between 12 and 150 mTorr. A high density (n≥2.0×1013 cm−3), low temperature (Te≈0.8 eV) plasma sheet of 4 mm thickness is obtained with less than 50% spatial density variation over the 30 cm axial length. Charge recombination is found to be the dominant process for t≤1.2 μs with the plasma diffusion playing a perturbational role. A one-dimensional plasma model is utilized to model the experimental plasma data by treating the diffusion as a perturbation. This study shows that the recombination coefficient is 1.8±0.1×10−7 cm3 s−1 and the diffusion coefficient is 2.8±0.4×104 cm2 s−1. The plasma sheet has attractive properties for a microwave agile mirror. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Characterization of the plasma density and temperature at the last closed flux surface (the separatrix) of a tokamak requires accurate knowledge of the location of the separatrix. In this paper we discuss the effect of inaccuracy in the separatrix location on the measured parameters in DIII-D [Luxon et al., International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1986), p. 159] An uncertainty in the separatrix position of ±0.5 cm, as expected in this device using magnetic reconstruction to determine the location of the separatrix, leads to unacceptably large uncertainty in the plasma parameters. Several techniques to improve the accuracy obtained from magnetic reconstruction are discussed. A new technique that is based on a characterization of the electron temperature profile is proposed. A comparison of the separatrix location defined in this manner with that obtained using magnetic reconstruction techniques suggests a systematic error in the reconstruction when the plasma is far from the walls and magnetic diagnostics. Determination of the perpendicular transport coefficients is given as an example of the improved statistics obtained using the new technique of defining the separatrix position.

    Notes: The radiation of divertor heat flux on DIII-D [J. Luxon et al., in Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1987), p. 159] is shown to greatly exceed the limits imposed by assumptions of energy transport dominated by electron thermal conduction parallel to the magnetic field. Approximately 90% of the power flowing into the divertor is dissipated through low-Z radiation and plasma recombination. The dissipation is made possible by an extended region of low electron temperature in the divertor. A one-dimensional analysis of the parallel heat flux finds that the electron temperature profile is incompatible with conduction-dominated parallel transport. Plasma flow at up to the ion acoustic speed, produced by upstream ionization, can account for the parallel heat flux. Modeling with the two-dimensional fluid code UEDGE [T. Rognlien, J. L. Milovich, M. E. Rensink, and G. D. Porter, J. Nucl. Mater. 196–198, 347 (1992)] has reproduced many of the observed experimental features. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Here Z, a 60 TW/5 MJ electrical accelerator located at Sandia National Laboratories, has been used to implode tungsten wire-array Z pinches. These arrays consisted of large numbers of tungsten wires (120–300) with wire diameters of 7.5 to 15 μm placed in a symmetric cylindrical array. The experiments used array diameters ranging from 1.75 to 4 cm and lengths from 1 to 2 cm. A 2 cm long, 4 cm diam tungsten array consisting of 240, 7.5 μm diam wires (4.1 mg mass) achieved an x-ray power of ∼200 TW and an x-ray energy of nearly 2 MJ. Spectral data suggest an optically thick, Planckian-like radiator below 1000 eV. One surprising experimental result was the observation that the total radiated x-ray energies and x-ray powers were nearly independent of pinch length. These data are compared with two-dimensional radiation magnetohydrodynamic code calculations. © 1998 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The introduction of a divertor Thomson scattering system in DIII-D [J. Luxon et al., International Conference on Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1986), p. 159] has enabled accurate determination of the plasma properties in the divertor region. Two plasma regimes are identified: detached and attached. The electron temperature in the detached regime is about 2 eV, much lower than 5–10 eV determined earlier. Fluid models of the DIII-D scrape-off layer plasma successfully reproduce many of the features of these two regimes, including the boundaries for transition between them. Detailed comparison between the results obtained from the fluid models and experiment suggest the models underestimate the spatial extent of the low-temperature region associated with the detached plasma mode. Low-temperature atomic physics processes that are not included in the present models may account for this discrepancy. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A two-dimensional calculation is presented for the transport of plasma in the edge region of a divertor tokamak solving continuity, momentum, and energy balance fluid equations. The model uses classical processes of parallel transport along the magnetic field and cross-field drifts together with anomalous radial diffusion, including perpendicular ion viscosity. The self-consistent electrostatic potential is calculated on both sides of the magnetic separatrix via quasineutrality and current continuity. Outside the separatrix, the model extends to material divertor plates where the incident plasma is recycled as neutral gas and where the plate sheath and parallel currents dominate the potential structure. Inside the separatrix, various radial current terms—from anomalous viscosity, collisional damping, inertia, and ∇B drifts—contribute to determining the potential. The model rigorously enforces cancellation of gyroviscous and magnetization terms from the transport equations. The results emphasize the importance of E×B particle flow under the X-point which depends on the sign of the toroidal magnetic field. Radial electric field profiles at the outer midplane show strong variation with the magnitude of the anomalous diffusion coefficients and the core toroidal rotation velocity, indicating that shear stabilization of edge turbulence can likewise be sensitive to these parameters.
