    Notes: Inelastic incoherent neutron scattering (IINS) cross sections have been measured for the recovered high-pressure phases of ice, ices II, V, VI, and IX (H2O) and ices II and IX (D2O) in the energy range from 2 to 150 meV at 20 K using the TFXA (time-focused crystal analyzer) neutron spectrometer on the ISIS pulsed neutron source at the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory. The excellent resolution of the TFXA (less than 2%) covers the whole range of translational and librational modes for the ices investigated and enables us to identify the fine structures in their spectra. Hence a direct comparison between the amplitude-weighted phonon density of states derived from the experimental spectrum and from a lattice dynamic calculation is possible [E. Whalley and J. E. Bertie, J. Chem. Phys. 46, 1271 (1967); J. E. Bertie and E. Whalley, ibid. 40, 1646 (1964)]. The spectra from these polymorphic ices show many new features in the translational region, which are not visible using infared and Raman techniques. In the librational band region, the general features vary remarkably between phases. Thus, for instance, ice II, in which the protons are ordered, shows more structure in this region and has a sharper low-energy cutoff than do the other phases examined. The most significant observation is that the low-energy cutoff is characteristic of the phase. Relative to ice Ih, there is a shift of 4.3 meV for ice IX, of 8.8 meV for ice II, 8.6 meV for ice V, and 12.2 meV for ice VI.

    Notes: The current and plasma flows driven by ponderomotive forces are calculated for tokamak plasmas, using a kinetic code in the Alfvén range of frequencies. The rf (radio frequency) ponderomotive force is expressed as a sum of a gradient part and of a wave momentum transfer force, which is proportional to wave dissipation (electron Landau damping and transit time magnetic pumping). Finally, the rf force is balanced by the viscous force in the fluid momentum response to the rf fields in the plasma. The relative magnitudes of the different forces for kinetic and global Alfvén waves with low phase velocities are explicitly calculated. It is shown that, dissipating in electrons, Alfvén waves can drive ion flow via the gradient force, which is dominated in m=0-sideband harmonic resonance induced by toroidal mode coupling. Estimates of power requirements to drive substantial poloidal flow in the Tokamak Chauffage Alfvén wave heating experiment in Brazil (TCABR) [L. Ruchko, M. C. Andrade, R. M. O. Galva˜o, Nucl. Fusion 30, 503 (1996)] are made. © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The electron temperature response of a tokamak to rapid edge cooling has characteristics difficult to reconcile with local transport analysis. The initial observations in the Texas Experimental Tokamak [K. W. Gentle, Nucl. Tech. Fusion 1, 479 (1981)] have been extended to a wider range of plasma and perturbation parameters, including auxiliary heating, and the associated turbulence changes have been measured across the plasma radius. The fast edge temperature drops and core temperature increases are quantified by more extensive analysis. A perturbation complementary to edge cooling, edge heating by a fast current ramp, evokes a completely complementary plasma response. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Electron temperature and density fluctuations are measured in the core of the Texas Experimental Tokamak-Upgrade (TEXT-U) [P. H. Edmonds, E. R. Solano, and A. J. Wootton, in Proceedings of the 15th Symposium on Fusion Technology, Utrecht (Elsevier Science, Amsterdam, 1989), Vol. 1, p. 342] plasma across the poloidal cross section. The high spatial resolution of the heavy-ion beam probe (HIBP) and correlation radiometry of electron cyclotron emission (CRECE) reveal that both the density and temperature fluctuations are strongly poloidally asymmetric. Temperature fluctuation measurements indicate a broadband drift wave feature localized near the plasma equatorial plane on both the high- and low-field sides, which is consistent with density fluctuation measurements by far infrared (FIR) scattering. In contrast, the HIBP observes this feature localized only to the low-field side. Excellent spatial resolution allows us to investigate whether changes in the gradient affect the fluctuation amplitudes. We find that indeed, the temperature fluctuations increase with the electron temperature gradient. Results also link density fluctuations to changes in the density gradient. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The response of a tokamak discharge to a sharp drop in edge temperature differs significantly from that expected from typical local transport models in several important respects. Laser ablation of carbon induces large (ΔT/T≤70%), rapid (〈200 μs) electron temperature drops in the outermost region of the plasma, r/a≥0.9. This cold pulse proceeds through the outer plasma (r/a≥0.75), rapidly compared with power balance or sawtooth predictions. However, the pulse shrinks markedly thereafter, disappearing near r/a∼0.5. Within r/a∼0.3, the temperature rises promptly. The results are inconsistent with conventional local transport models; a nonlocal phenomenology, in which transport coefficients increase in the edge and decrease in the core, is suggested. The turbulence levels measured with a heavy ion beam probe increase near the edge but are unchanged in the core. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The results of numerical calculations of Alfvén wave absorption are discussed for the experimental conditions foreseen for the Tokamak Chauffage Alfvén wave heating experiment in Brazil (TCABR) [Nucl. Fusion 30, 503 (1996)]. In particular, the effect of toroidal mode coupling on the power deposition of Global Alfvén Wave (GAW) eigenmodes is carefully investigated. Resonant absorption of the toroidally coupled sidebands causes a broad power deposition close to the plasma boundary which can surpass the power deposition of the main GAW at the plasma center. However, the wave absorption can be somewhat optimized by a proper choice of mode spectrum. The excitation of a pure mode spectrum centered at the toroidal mode numbers n=−4 and −6 leads to better plasma coupling than a spectrum centered at n=−2. Finally, it is shown that a small population of light impurities in a hydrogen plasma can strongly modify the dispersion of the GAW and the toroidal Alfvén continuum.© 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A scalar matter field coupled to general relativity and electromagnetism in a five-dimensional Kaluza–Klein model is considered. The five-dimensional space is assumed to be a fiber bundle as in the usual description of a gauge theory and not a more general manifold. Properly taking this into account allows one to use a Lagrangian density for the scalar field which includes charge quantization but not the unphysical superheavy masses found by other authors. A natural, satisfactory explanation of why charge is quantized results.

    Notes: Recent experiments on the Texas Experimental Tokamak (TEXT) [Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 27, 1335 (1985)] have focused on identifying the drives and transport significance of the turbulence in the interior of discharges in the neo-Alcator confinement regime. Far-infrared (FIR) scattering consistently observes density fluctuations indicative of electron drift waves, i.e., ωk∼ωe*+kθvE, where vE≡−Er/B (the electron diamagnetic frequency Doppler-shifted by the E×B poloidal plasma rotation) and an amplitude that scales inversely with the density scale length Ln. Although consistent with scattering on the power-weighted frequency ω¯, heavy-ion beam probe (HIBP) data typically indicate k¯θρs〈0.1 such that ω¯(very-much-greater-than)ω¯e*+k¯θvE and n¯/ne(very-much-less-than)1/k¯θLn. Experiments with a modulated gas feed and/or electron-cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) seem to rule out ∇Te as the turbulent drive, although little evidence for ∇ne is apparent either. In fact, the interior fluctuations seen by the HIBP seem to depend more on edge conditions than local gradients. The quasilinear fluxes due to dissipative trapped electrons are found to be sufficient to account for the equilibrium fluxes in the region of low collisionality (νe*(very-much-less-than)1) for a drift-wave spectrum (k¯θρs∼0.3), but not for the low wave numbers seen by the HIBP. While the estimates with k¯θρs∼0.3 predict the scaling of the electron energy flux over a range of discharge conditions with νe*(very-much-less-than)1, the model seems unable to predict the magnitude (or phase) of the perturbed particle flux during modulated gas feed experiments. In the outer regions of the plasma where νe*(approximately-greater-than)1, the calculated quasilinear fluxes are inadequate, even including untrapped particles.

    Notes: The scope and detail of physics contained in computational models for fluid (density, momentum, energy) transport in toroidal plasmas have steadily increased during the past two decades. There has been considerable success in the development and verification of models for sources and sinks of particles, energy, momentum, and magnetic flux. Transport codes have collectively become very useful tools in interpreting experimental data and in providing guidance for new experiments. However, a more thorough understanding of the fundamental transport processes of magnetically confined plasmas and development of improved computational models are needed to enhance the predictive capabilities of transport codes. It is argued that fluid transport modeling by itself cannot lead to a complete understanding of transport—there must be a very strong collaboration among theory, experiment, and modeling on both the fluid and kinetic levels.

    Notes: Tokamak sawtooth oscillations are studied with a nonreduced, fully toroidal, resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model that includes Ohmic heating, and parallel and perpendicular thermal conductions. Effects of perpendicular transport in producing different types of sawteeth, varying from simple, periodic oscillations to giant sawteeth with temperature modulations of order unity, and compound sawteeth with multiple relaxations, are demonstrated. Some of the recent experimental observations from large tokamaks, such as the fast crash times and a presumed topological anomaly in the x-ray tomography pictures, thought to be inconsistent with the Kadomtsev reconnection model, are examined and possible explanations are offered.
