Parametric instabilities excited by ion sound and ion cyclotron quasi-modes during lower hybrid heating of tokamak plasmas

R. Cesario, A. Cardinali1989年被引用 38Nuclear FusionIF 3出版社

The parametric decay of lower hybrid (LH) pump waves is studied in a wide range of low frequency quasi-modes which drive the instabilities. The numerical results of the parametric dispersion relation show that an ion sound quasi-mode with frequency ωIR can excite a parametric instability with a growth rate γ ≥ ωIR or ωIR ≪ ωci at the plasma edge, even at low power levels of the pump wave. In this condition, solutions can be found where the two LH sidebands are resonant within a small frequency shift which is comparable to the growth rate, and also the upper sideband contributes to the instability. The estimated convective thresholds are in the range of the radiofrequency (RF) power used for heating experiments of tokamak plasmas. The parametric instability is related to the frequency broadening of the injected RF power observed during experiments with additional LH heating in FT and in other devices. In the range ωIR ≈ ℓωci the analysis shows that in the outer plasma region ion cyclotron quasi-modes can drive parametric instabilities with higher growth rates for ℓ ≃ 8-10 if a wave number broadening of the launched parallel wave is assumed. This kind of instability may explain the RF spectra observed in high density plasma regimes, which show a typical non-monotonic envelope of the sideband peaks.

低混成(LH)ポンプ波のパラメトリック崩壊を、不安定性を駆動する広範囲の低周波準モードについて研究する。パラメトリック分散関係の数値計算結果は、周波数ωIRを持つイオン音波準モードが、ポンプ波の低パワーレベルにおいてさえ、成長率γ ≥ ωIRまたはωIR ≪ ωciを持つパラメトリック不安定性を励起できることを示している。この条件下では、2つのLH側波帯が、成長率に匹敵する小さな周波数シフト内で共鳴する解が見出され、また上側波帯も不安定性に寄与する。推定された対流閾値は、トカマクプラズマの加熱実験で使用される高周波(RF)パワーの範囲内にある。このパラメトリック不安定性は、FTおよび他の装置における追加LH加熱実験中に観測された入射RFパワーの周波数広がりに関連する。ωIR ≈ ℓωCIの範囲では、解析により、プラズマ外周部においてイオンサイクロトロン準モードが、ℓ ≃ 8-10に対して、入射平行波数の広がりを仮定した場合により高い成長率でパラメトリック不安定性を駆動できることが示される。この種の不安定性は、高密度プラズマ領域で観測される、側波帯ピークの典型的な非単調な包絡線を示すRFスペクトルを説明し得る。
