Modulated ECH power absorption measurements usinga diamagnetic loop in the TCV tokamak

The additional power absorbed by the plasma can be determined from the time derivative of the total plasma energy, which can be estimated from the diamagnetic flux of the plasma using a diamagnetic loop. The main difficulty in using diamagnetic measurements to estimate the kinetic energy is the compensation of the flux measurement sensitivity to poloidal magnetic fields, which is not always easy to adjust. A method based on the temporal variations of the diamagnetic flux of the plasma during modulated electron cyclotron heating (MECH) has been developed. Using MECH has the advantage that these poloidal fields are not significantly modulated and a good compensation of these fields is not necessary. However, a good compensation of the vessel poloidal image current is crucial to ensure a sufficiently large bandwidth. The application of this diagnostic to studies of the extraordinary mode (X-mode) absorption at the third electron cyclotron harmonic frequency (X3) has been performed on the TCV tokamak in plasmas pre-heated by the X-mode at the second harmonic (X2). A MECH frequency scan has allowed the determination of an optimum modulation frequency, situated at about 200-250 Hz. Based on this diagnostic, full single-pass absorption of the injected X3 power was measured with the X2 pre-heating in co-current drive. This high absorption is more than a factor of 2 higher than that predicted by the linear ray tracing code TORAY. Experimental evidence indicates that a large fraction of the X3 power is absorbed by electrons in an energetic tail created by the X2 pre-heating.

プラズマによって吸収される追加の電力は、プラズマの全エネルギーの時間微分から決定でき、これはダイアマグネティックループを用いてプラズマのダイアマグネティック磁束から推定できる。ダイアマグネティック測定を用いて運動エネルギーを推定する際の主な困難は、ポロイダル磁場に対する磁束測定の感度の補償であり、これは必ずしも容易に調整できるわけではない。変調電子サイクロトロン加熱(MECH)中のプラズマのダイアマグネティック磁束の時間変動に基づく方法が開発された。MECHを用いる利点は、これらのポロイダル磁場が有意に変調されず、これらの磁場の良好な補償が不要であることである。しかし、十分に大きな帯域幅を確保するためには、容器のポロイダルイメージ電流の良好な補償が重要である。この診断法の、第3電子サイクロトロン高調波(X3)における異常モード(Xモード)吸収の研究への応用が、第2高調波(X2)におけるXモードで予備加熱されたTCVトカマクのプラズマにおいて実施された。MECH周波数走査により、約200〜250Hzに位置する最適な変調周波数の決定が可能となった。この診断法に基づき、X2予備加熱による同方向電流駆動条件下で、入射X3パワーの完全な単一通過吸収が測定された。この高い吸収率は、線形光線追跡コードTORAYによる予測値よりも2倍以上高い。実験的証拠は、X3パワーの大部分が、X2予備加熱によって生成された高エネルギー電子テールによって吸収されることを示している。
