    Notes: Plasma-neutral phenomena in the edge plasma and scrape-off layer of the Torus Experiment for Technology Oriented Research [G.H. Wolf and the TEXTOR Team, J. Nucl. Mater. 122&123, 1124 (1984)] with the toroidal belt Advanced Limiter Test (ALT-II) [D.M. Goebel et al., J. Nucl. Mater. 162–164, 115 (1989)] are simulated using the code package B2-EIRENE [D. Reiter et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 33, 1579 (1991)]. Spatially-constant, anomalous radial transport coefficients (D,V,χ) are used for fitting measured electron temperature and density profiles. Primary neutral fluxes are determined by plasma fluxes to material surfaces, and Dα emissions are predicted from them. Comparison of the predicted Dα emission with measurements indicates a critical need, in predictive modeling, for a self-consistent model of fluxes to material surfaces that are parallel to the magnetic field. Appropriate factors are calculated for deducing D+ source rates from Dα emissions measured in various locations, taking into account molecular processes and spatially varying plasma parameters; values range from 17 to 28 ions/photon. Ion fluxes lost to pumps or the wall must be explicitly re-introduced as neutral fluxes at the outer boundary. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A detailed study of the harmonic technique, which exploits the generation of harmonics resulting from excitation of the nonlinearity of the single Langmuir probe characteristic, is presented. The technique is used to measure electron temperature and its fluctuations in tokamak plasmas and the technical issues relevant to extending the technique to high bandwidth (200 kHz) are discussed. The technique has been implemented in a fast reciprocating probe in the TEXTOR tokamak, gaining the ability to study denser and hotter plasmas than previously possible. A corrected analytical expression is derived for the harmonic currents. Measurement of the probe current by inductive pickup is introduced to improve electrical isolation and bandwidth. The temperature profiles in the boundary plasma of TEXTOR have been measured with high spatial (∼2 mm) and temporal (200 kHz) resolution and compared to those obtained with a double probe. The exact expansion of the probe characteristic in terms of Bessel functions is compared to a computationally efficient power series. Various aspects of the interpretation of the measurement are discussed such as the influence of plasma potential and density fluctuations. The technique is well suited to study fast phenomena such as transient plasma discharges or turbulence and turbulent transport in plasmas. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The paradigm of shear suppression of turbulence as the mechanism for the low to high confinement mode (L to H) transition is examined by quantitative comparison of the predictions of the paradigm with experimental results from the DIII-D tokamak [Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion Research (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1986), p. 159]. The L to H transition trigger is V×B rotation, not the main ion pressure gradient. The radial electric field Er shear increases before the fluctuation suppression, consistent with increasing Er shear as the cause of the turbulence suppression. The spatial dependence of the turbulence reduction is consistent with shear suppression for negative Er shear. For positive Er shear, the turbulence suppression is consistent with the effect of Er curvature for modes for which an Er well is destabilizing. Finally, the transport barrier depends on the phase angle between the density and potential fluctuations inside the Er well, an effect not included in existing L to H transition models. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The dynamics of a charged particle in a magnetic field perturbed by electrostatic waves propagating transverse to the magnetic field has been investigated. Depending on the number of perturbing waves, the magnitude of the perturbation and the perturbation frequency (ν=r/s=ω/ω0, where r and s are relatively prime integers, and ω0 is the cyclotron frequency), the particle motion can exhibit either a small deviation from simple cyclotron motion or stochastic motion over phase space. The latter case is found to correspond to particle heating and anomalous transport. In the case of cyclotron harmonic perturbations (superharmonic case, s=1), the phase space of the particle is covered by a stochastic web, inside of which the particle motion is chaotic. The particle can, in principle, be heated to very high energy. However, if the wave frequency is some fraction of the ion cyclotron frequency (subharmonic case, s≥2), the heating range is limited. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A stationary, detached ionization front is observed in an experimentally simulated divertor plasma (n≤3×1019 m−3, kTe≤20 eV) interacting with a hydrogen gas target. With a neutral hydrogen density, n0≈2×1021 m−3, the electron temperature at the simulated divertor target is reduced to kTe target≈2.5 eV. Up to 97% of the electron heat flux (≤7 MW/m2) is dissipated by dissociation and ionization losses and hydrogen line radiation. The plasma pressure is observed to peak near the ionization front, and a plasma flow reversal is observed in the region of reversed pressure gradient. Classical momentum flow parallel to the magnetic field and anomalous cross-field particle transport are found. The plasma flow is strongly damped by ion–neutral collisions and is subsonic. Numerical results from a one-and-one-half dimensional (11/2-D) coupled plasma–neutral fluid model (incorporating radial particle transport, recycling, and neutral gas injection) agree well with the experimental data, and indicate that the electron heat flow is classical and well described by a harmonic flux limit. The scale length of the parallel plasma pressure gradient in a gas target is found to depend on the neutral density, the electron temperature, and the cross-field diffusion coefficient. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The dynamics of an ion interacting with an electrostatic wave propagating perpendicularly to a static magnetic field in the presence of elastic ion-neutral scattering is investigated. Superharmonic (ω/ω0∈I) and subharmonic (ω/ω0=r/s≤1) perturbations are studied. Here, ω and ω0 are the wave and the ion cyclotron frequency, respectively, and r and s are relatively prime integers. Without elastic collisions, the ion is found to exhibit either quasi-regular or stochastic motion in phase space depending on the wave frequency, wave amplitude, and the initial position and velocity of the particle. Quasi-regular and stochastic behavior are found to be exclusive with respect to each other. In the presence of elastic collisions, the entire phase space becomes accessible to the ion irrespective of the initial conditions. The heating rate is generally found to depend on the ratio γm/ω (where γm is the momentum loss rate) and is enhanced compared to the collisionless case. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An 8×8 array of Langmuir probes has been developed for measuring turbulent plasma parameters in tokamak edge plasmas. Fluctuations in plasma density ñ(r,θ,t) and floating potential φ˜f(r,θ,t) can be measured by the diagnostic, as well as the steady state (dc), profiles in n¯e(r,θ) and φ¯f(r,θ). The signal from each probe is processed by individual custom pre-amplifier circuits and the data from all probes are acquired simultaneously by a custom CAMAC based data acquisition system. This data acquisition system has 10 bit resolution with a maximum speed of 20 MS/s and has applications for various types of tokamak diagnostic arrays. Design considerations for the probe array and data acquisition system are discussed. Preliminary results from the probe array will be presented. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract This report presents the results of a U.S. review of the 1996 Detailed Design Report (DDR) of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project. It was prepared by a panel established by the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (FESAC) and was subsequently endorsed by FESAC and provided to the USDOE. Copies of the charge and transmittal letters are incorporated at the end of this paper. Also incorporated in this paper are the reports of several subpanels established to provide detailed review and recommendations on specific topics. The authors of those subpanel reports are acknowledged in the text. The ITER was subsequently reduced in size and scope; this review refers to the full-size ITER design as it was completed in 1996.
