Plasma heating in the full tungsten (W) environment in a steady-state tokamak (WEST) relies on electromagnetic waves in both the lower hybrid (LH) and ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF). The present study focuses mostly on the optimization of discharges heated with ICRF, by reporting different methods to first optimize wave coupling, optimize their absorption and reduce the impurity production. It is shown that ICRF coupling can be optimized by moving the plasma closer to antennas, increasing the plasma density, wave frequency and LH power. We show that the absorption efficiency correlates with the hydrogen concentration with the existence of an optimum between 7% and 10% as expected for a minority heating scenario. Absolutely calibrated visible spectroscopy sightlines were used to monitor ion fluxes in different locations as part of an effort to quantitatively estimate the contribution of different impurity sources to the core contamination by tungsten. It is typically found that in discharges with high total RF-power (above 5 MW of LH and 3 MW of ICRF), divertor and antenna limiter sources can reach a similar order of magnitude during the ICRF phase.

定常状態トカマク(WEST)における全タングステン(W)環境でのプラズマ加熱は、低混成(LH)周波数帯とイオンサイクロトロン周波数帯(ICRF)の両方における電磁波に依存している。本研究は主に、ICRFで加熱される放電の最適化に焦点を当てており、まず波動結合を最適化し、その吸収を最適化し、不純物生成を低減するための異なる方法を報告するものである。ICRF結合は、プラズマをアンテナに近づけること、プラズマ密度、波動周波数、LHパワーを増加させることによって最適化できることが示されている。吸収効率は水素濃度と相関し、少数キャリア加熱シナリオで期待されるように、7%から10%の間に最適値が存在することを示す。絶対較正された可視分光法の視線を用いて、異なる位置でのイオンフラックスを監視し、タングステンによるコア汚染に対する異なる不純物源の寄与を定量的に推定する取り組みの一部とした。典型的には、総RFパワーが高い放電(LHが5 MW超、ICRFが3 MW超)では、ダイバータとアンテナリミッターの源がICRF位相中に同程度の大きさに達し得ることが見いだされている。
