One cycle alternating current (AC) plasma operation without a dwell time has been achieved in the STOR-M tokamak with good reproducibility using a newly developed ohmic heating circuit. The plasma current of +24 kA is smoothly ramped down in 10 ms with a rampdown rate of around 2.0 kA/ms and then ramped up to between -20 and -24 kA directly without a dwell time. The plasma density of up to (3.7+or-0.6)*1018 m-3 remains at the current reversal as observed in recent soft landing experiments. The key to a successful, reproducible and direct transition in AC tokamak operations on STOR-M is to control both the total vertical field by a feedback control system and the plasma density by careful gas puffing during the current reversal phase. This experiment has demonstrated that the initial loop voltage for the second negative current is minimized when the dwell time approaches zero, and the AC operation without dwelling is possible whenever the plasma current can be softly terminated with a finite residual plasma density

1サイクルの交流(AC)プラズマ運転を、ディウェル時間なしで、新たに開発したオーミック加熱回路を用いて、STOR-Mトカマクにおいて高い再現性で達成した。プラズマ電流+24 kAは、約2.0 kA/msの低下速度で10 msの間に滑らかに減少させた後、ディウェル時間を挟まずに直接-20 kAから-24 kAの間まで上昇させた。プラズマ密度は、最近のソフトランディング実験で観測されたように、電流反転時において(3.7±0.6)×10^18 m^-3の値を維持した。STOR-Mにおける交流トカマク運転の成功的かつ再現性のある直接遷移の鍵は、フィードバック制御系による総合垂直磁場の制御と、電流反転位相における慎重なガス入射によるプラズマ密度の制御の両方にある。本実験により、ディウェル時間がゼロに近づくにつれて、2回目の負電流の初期ループ電圧が最小化されることが実証された。さらに、プラズマ電流が有限の残留プラズマ密度を伴って軟着陸的に終了できる場合には、ディウェル時間なしの交流運転が可能であることが示された。
