Understanding the density pump-out induced by auxiliary heating in electron heating dominated plasmas on EAST

Density pump-out phenomena are frequently observed in tokamak plasmas during central electron heating. On Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak tokamak, we systematically investigated the plasma density response to variations in electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and neutral beam injection (NBI) power in electron heating dominated plasmas. It was observed that elevating EC or NBI power resulted in core density reduction. Interestingly, for comparable modifications in core electron temperature, NBI-induced density changes were more pronounced than those from ECRH. Simulation results indicate that both before and after increasing the heating power, density gradients strongly drive trapped electron mode (TEM), which partially explains the experimental observations. Furthermore, the impact of NBI power on ion temperature gradients could alter the dependence of temperature gradient-driven TEM on electron temperature gradients. We also observed that, under high-density conditions, the pump-out induced by EC power modulation was strongly reduced compared with the low-density case, but was markedly restored after impurity injection. This behavior can be understood as a modification of the dominant turbulence mode in the core plasma following impurity injection, with subsequent ECRH enhancement reversing this modification and consequently leading to elevated particle flux. These findings elucidate the physical mechanisms underlying density pump-out induced by high-power core heating in tokamak plasmas.

トカマクプラズマでは、中心部の電子加熱により密度ポンプアウト現象が頻繁に観測される。EASTでは、電子加熱が支配的なプラズマにおいて、電子サイクロトロン共鳴加熱(ECRH)と中性粒子ビーム入射(NBI)の出力変化に対する密度応答を系統的に調査した。ECまたはNBI出力増大によりコア密度が減少し、同等の電子温度変化に対しNBIの方が密度変化が大きかった。シミュレーションは、加熱前後で密度勾配が捕捉電子モード(TEM)を強く駆動することを示し、実験を部分的に説明する。また、高密度条件下ではEC出力変調によるポンプアウトが低密度時より弱まるが、不純物注入後に顕著に回復する。これは、不純物注入後の主要乱流モードの変化とその後のECRH強化による反転が粒子束増加を引き起こすことで理解される。本研究は、高パワーコア加熱による密度ポンプアウトの物理メカニズムを解明する。
