    Notes: A family of off-axis, or annular, instabilities has been studied using Thomson scattering, soft X-ray emission, and two electron cyclotron emission diagnostic systems. In the Rijnhuizen tokamak (RTP) [N. J. Lopes Cardozo et al., Plasma Physics and Controlled Nuclear Fusion Research 1992 (International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna, 1993), Vol. 1, p. 271] these phenomena are invoked in a controlled way in discharges with specific (off-axis) deposition of electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and persist during most of the heating period, or during many current diffusion times. Based on coherent mode analysis at the crash time, the instabilities are associated with resonant surfaces near simple rational values of q (〈fraction SHAPE="CASE"〉32, 2, and 3). A parameter study shows an increase of reheat rate and a decrease of sawtooth period with increasing ECH power and — in contrast to observations in other experiments — with increASING density as well. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A soft x-ray tomography system is being constructed for the RTP tokamak. The main aim of this system is to measure fluctuations in the plasma emissivity with relatively high poloidal m number. Five pinhole cameras will be distributed inside the vessel in such a way that it becomes possible to reconstruct modes up to m=4, without making any assumption about the plasma rotation. The system has been designed to obtain a minimum bandwidth of 200 kHz and a temporal resolution of 1 μs. We describe the hardware that is under construction.

    Notes: The polarimeter system for ITER features 10 viewing chords covering almost the full poloidal cross section of the plasma in a fan-like arrangement. The 10 laser beams all enter the plasma via 150 mm diam penetrations through the diagnostic plug at the low-field side. Small retroreflectors at the high-field side mirror the laser beams back towards the penetrations at the low-field side. Extensive feasibility calculations have led to the conclusion that the optimum wavelength for the polarimeter is around 100 μm. At this wavelength counterproductive effects like refraction and electron cyclotron absorption are negligibly small. However, the anticipated Faraday rotation angles are still very large, such that several important plasma parameters can be measured within the requirements set by the ITER team. In this article the status of the conceptual design of the polarimeter system for ITER will be presented. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: An 80-channel visible-light tomography diagnostic is operational on the Rijnhuizen Tokamak Project. This diagnostic uses optical imaging systems from five directions in one poloidal plane to view emission by the plasma. For the application of tomography algorithms, measurements need to be preprocessed to take into account the properties of the imaging system. These properties have been measured and a consistent treatment is demonstrated. An example of a tomographic inversion of a glow-discharge plasma is given. Optical filters can be used to select various wavelength ranges. Because the imaging system gives large angles of incidence on the filter (〈16°), a study has been made to determine the minimum useful bandwidth of interference filters to select spectral lines, which was found to be 5 nm. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A four-channel pulsed radar reflectometry system has been developed for the Rijnhuizen Tokamak Project. The system combines a high spatial and temporal resolution with limited access demands to the tokamak plasma. Steady-state density profiles as measured with the pulsed radar system match very well to the profiles as measured by Thomson scattering and by interferometry. As will be illustrated in this paper, the diagnostic is able to follow fast phenomena as pellet injection and plasma disruptions as well as MHD oscillations. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A Rutherford scattering diagnostic has been applied at the TEXTOR tokamak to obtain spatially and temporally resolved information on the temperature of the bulk ions in the plasma. In the experimental setup, a helium atomic beam (30-keV, 12-mA equivalent current) passes vertically through the plasma core. A small part of the injected atoms is scattered elastically by the thermally moving plasma ions. The ion temperature in the scattering volume can be determined from the broadening of the energy spectrum of the scattered particles. Energy analysis of the scattered atoms is performed by a mass-selective time-of-flight analyzer detecting the particles at an observation angle which is selectable between 3° and 8°. Coincidence techniques have been successfully applied in this detector for rejection of background events triggered by detections of neutrons and gamma radiation. Ion temperature profiles were measured on a shot-to-shot basis by shifting the cross section of the diagnostic beam and the observational volume of the analyzer through the plasma. The ion temperatures measured in ohmic deuterium plasmas were found to be in reasonable agreement with those obtained from passive neutral particle analysis. Up to now, ion temperatures have been measured throughout the complete discharge with an accuracy of 8% and a time and space resolution of 100 ms and 0.10 m at a scattering angle of 7°. Deuteron density profiles could be deduced from the scattering yield measured at different radial positions in the plasma. The ratio of the isotopes, hydrogen and deuterium, was determined from their separate contributions to the spectrum of helium particles scattered on hydrogen and deuterium. Although theoretical predictions showed that the majority of the probing helium atoms loses one of its electrons during the elastic scattering process on multiply charged carbon and oxygen ions, contributions from impurities to the observed experimental spectrum are shown to appear dominant for impure plasmas.

    Notes: A 19-channel combined interferometer and polarimeter system has recently become operational at the Rijnhuizen Tokamak Project (a=0.164 m, R=0.72 m, Btor≤2.5 T, Ip≤150 kA, plasma pulse duration ≤500 ms), in order to determine the poloidal magnetic field and plasma density distribution simultaneously. The method is based on the separate propagation of two counter-rotating, circularly polarized probing waves, and enables high temporal resolution measurements of both the interferometric and the polarimetric phase change using only one detector per line of sight. In this article a thorough discussion of the (polarization-related) optical, electronic, and computational aspects of the system will be presented. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: A high resolution multiposition Thomson scattering setup to measure the electron temperature (Te) and density (ne) of a hot plasma is described. The system is operational at the Rijnhuizen Tokamak Project. Light from a high power pulsed ruby laser is scattered by the free plasma electrons and relayed to a Littrow polychromator for spectral analysis. The spectrally and spatially resolved light is detected by a GaAsP photocathode. The two-dimensional image is intensified and recorded with a charge-coupled device camera.Te in the range of 50 eV–6 keV can be measured at 115 spatial elements of 2.6 mm length along the laser beam. The observation error is 〈6% at ne=2×1019 m−3 and smaller for higher ne. The high resolution and accuracy enabled the observation of small scale structures in Te and ne. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In this article a double pulse multiposition Thomson scattering diagnostic, under construction at RTP, is discussed. Light from a double pulsed ruby laser (pulse separation: 10–800 μs, max. 2×12.5 J) is scattered by the free electrons of the tokamak plasma and relayed to a Littrow polychromator for spectral analysis. The spectrally resolved light is recorded by two ICCD detectors. Simulations show that the system sensitivity will be such that electron temperatures in the range of 100 eV–7 keV can be determined with an accuracy as good as 2%–3% for electron densities of 1020 m−3, with a spatial resolution down to 2.6 mm. With this diagnostic the dynamics of small scale structures in the electron temperature profile will be studied. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
