    Notes: Two-dimensional compressible magnetohydrodynamic simulations of current sheet dynamics under the influence of localized anomalous resistivity are presented. The system is initially perturbed by several spots of anomalous resistivity distributed in the sheet. Following a phase of induced tearing resulting from the initial perturbation, magnetic island coalescence occurs until one island persists. Finally the evolution becomes eruptive, dominated by the acceleration and ejection of a plasmoid, as a consequence of the amplification of a small initial asymmetry after a few 102 Alfvén times. These processes are accompanied by strong enhancements of the current density. It exceeds the threshold of kinetic instability repeatedly and leads to recurrence of anomalous resistivity, which drives the evolution. Jets are formed, driven by field line reconnection and locally enhanced dissipation at dominant X-points. The conversion of magnetic energy into kinetic energy is most efficient during the acceleration phase of the plasmoid. The evolution becomes more impulsive and leads to stronger current density enhancements for higher Lundquist numbers. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Theoretical models of the action of a bowed string may be able to shed light on differences of "playability'' between different violins. Subjective judgements seem to be concerned, at least in part, with the robustness with which one particular oscillation regime of the string (the "Helmholtz motion'') may be obtained under different bowing conditions. In this paper, after a review of bowed-string modelling, systematic simulation is used to obtain plots of the basin of attraction of the Helmholtz motion in a particular subspace of the player's control space. Variations in the size and structure of this basin of attraction are seen when parameters of the problem are varied, and some physical interpretation of these variations is given. Some parallels and contrasts are pointed out between the particular features of the bowed string as a nonlinear system, and the range of more familiar dynamical systems. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Magnetic reconnection in an antiparallel uniform Harris current sheet equilibrium, which is initially perturbed by a region of enhanced resistivity limited in all three dimensions, is investigated through compressible magnetohydrodynamic simulations. Variable resistivity, coupled to the dynamics of the plasma by an electron–ion drift velocity criterion, is used during the evolution. A phase of magnetic reconnection amplifying with time and leading to eruptive energy release is triggered only if the initial perturbation is strongly elongated in the direction of current flow or if the threshold for the onset of anomalous resistivity is significantly lower than in the corresponding two-dimensional case. A Petschek-like configuration is then built up for ∼102 Alfvén times, but remains localized in the third dimension. Subsequently, a change of topology to an O-line at the center of the system ("secondary tearing") occurs. This leads to enhanced and time-variable reconnection, to a second pair of outflow jets directed along the O-line, and to expansion of the reconnection process into the third dimension. High parallel current density components are created mainly near the region of enhanced resistivity. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: The scaling properties of the second order magnetic structure function D2(B)(r) and the corresponding magnetic correlation function C2(B)(r) are derived for two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic turbulence in the kinematic regime where the ratio of kinetic energy to magnetic energy is much larger than one. In this regime the magnetic flux function ψ can be treated as a passive scalar advected in a two-dimensional turbulent flow. Its structure function D2(ψ)(r) and the one for the magnetic field D2(B)(r) are connected by an exact relation. We calculate D2(ψ)(r) and thus D2(B)(r) within geometric measure theory over a wide range of scales r and magnetic Prandtl numbers Prm. The magnetic field correlations follow a r−4/3-scaling law and show an anticorrelation at the beginning of the Batchelor regime indicative of the formation of strongly filamented current sheets. Differences to the full dynamic regime, where the ratio of kinetic to magnetic energies is smaller than in the kinematic case, are discussed. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Two Bragg spectrometers shared a shielded beamline, and monitored all significant plasma impurities throughout the Joint European Torus (JET) preliminary tritium experiment. The JET Active Phase Double Crystal Monochromator and a Bragg rotor spectrometer together monitored K-shell lines of Be, C, O, and Cl, and L-shell lines from metals such as Ni and Zn, in the wavelength range 0.2–11 nm. Background radiation was recorded during and after discharges, to assess the signal-to-noise ratio, and to monitor any activation or tritium ingress. Bragg spectroscopy was shown to be suitable for all impurities in magnetically confined D–T plasmas, using a thin foil to isolate tritium, and a low f-number shielded beamline. Future improvements to the signal-to-noise ratio are discussed in the context of a next-step machine such as ITER.

    Notes: A double-crystal monochromator has been brought into operation at JET to measure absolute wavelengths and intensities of impurity spectral lines in the soft x-ray region from about 0.1 to 2.3 nm. It is capable of operating also during the deuterium-tritium (active) phase of JET because its detector is very effectively shielded against neutrons and hard x rays. The spectrometer has been swept over a wide wavelength range, around characteristic line groups as well as monochromatic line scans.

    Notes: The highly resolved spectra of the silicon multiplet around 251 nm are studied for plasmas in front of a C/C-SiC target interacting with a nearly cylindrically symmetric low temperature plasma jet. The erosion rates from this target are deduced from the silicon density distribution, which is determined from the line intensity ratios and details of the line profiles. Under the conditions of the plasma parameters in this plasma-target interaction experiment these spectral line parameters depend on the optical depths of the emitting and absorbing silicon atoms along the line of sight. The spectral line central branching ratios of lines with quite different products of absorption oscillator strength and statistical weight are most sensitive to the optical depth. In the case of high plasma jet currents the density of the eroded silicon is found to reach values of up to 5×1018 m−3 in agreement with gravimetric measurements. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: For absolute soft-x-ray line intensity measurements to deduce elemental concentrations and parameters of magnetically confined plasmas large-area x-ray sources are developed and investigated. These calibration sources use K, L, and M transitions in different elements and cover a wide photon energy (and wavelength) range. From the measured absolute line intensities of these sources the quantum efficiency values of numerous elements for K-, L-, and M-line emission per incident electron are deduced. They represent the basis of simple soft-x-ray monitors for impurities in fusion plasmas. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A new thermal, supersonic cluster source for the investigation of binary metal cluster formation at thermodynamically well-defined expansion conditions is described. The source consists of two separately heatable cartridges. A first cartridge can be heated up to 1220 K and the second high temperature cartridge reaches maximal temperatures of 1800 K. A temperature difference of 1000 K between the two cartridges can be maintained for at least 3 h. Clustering occurs upon supersonic expansion from a conical nozzle. This cluster source has two main applications: (a) the generation of mixed metal clusters and (b) the investigation of pure metal clusters at various expansion conditions. The performance and applications of this source are illustrated by presenting results of the heterocluster formation of mixed sodium/gold and sodium/silver heteroexpansions. In addition, the influence of the oven parameters on the internal temperatures of the generated clusters is illustrated with the example of Na2. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A Bragg spectrometer for monitoring impurity radiation of hydrogenlike carbon and oxygen at the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade is presented. The use of fast multistrip proportional counters allows soft x-ray photon counting with count rates above 1 MHz in a simple arrangement. The absolute calibration was performed using a large area x-ray tube with a LiF anode. The concentrations of both impurities are calculated using the coronal model both for ionization and electron impact excitation. The results of the measurements concerning the long term behavior before and after conditioning of the torus walls by boronization as well as the fast plasma processes are presented. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
