Gas-puff imaging techniques are employed to determine the far SOL region radial electric field and the plasma potential in ICRF heated discharges in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. The two-dimensional velocity fields of the turbulent structures, which are advected by RF-induced flows, are obtained via the time-delay estimation (TDE) techniques. Both the magnitude and radial extension of the radial electric field Er are observed to increase with the toroidal magnetic field strength Bφ and the ICRF power. In particular, the RF-induced Er extends from the vicinity of the ICRF antenna to the separatrix when and . In addition, low-Z impurity seeding near the antenna is found to substantially reduce the sheath potential associated with ICRF power. The TDE techniques have also been used to revisit and estimate ICRF-induced potentials in different antenna configurations: (1) conventional toroidally aligned (TA) antenna versus field-aligned (FA) antenna; (2) FA monopole versus FA dipole. It shows that FA and TA antennas produce similar magnitude of plasma potentials, and the FA monopole induced greater potential than the FA dipole phasing. The TDE estimations of RF-induced plasma potentials are consistent with previous results based on the poloidal phase velocity.

ガスパフイメージング技術を用いて、Alcator C-ModトカマクにおけるICRF加熱放電中のスクレイプオフ層遠方領域の径方向電場とプラズマ電位を測定した。乱流構造の2次元速度場は、RF誘起フローによって輸送されるが、時間遅延推定(TDE)法により取得された。径方向電場Erの大きさと径方向への広がりの両方が、トロイダル磁場強度BφとICRFパワーの増加とともに増大することが観測された。特に、RF誘起Erは、ICRFアンテナ近傍からセパラトリクスまで及ぶ。さらに、アンテナ近傍での低Z不純物シーディングにより、ICRFパワーに関連するシース電位が大幅に低減されることが見出された。TDE法はまた、異なるアンテナ構成におけるICRF誘起電位の再評価と推定にも適用された:(1)従来のトロイダル方向整合(TA)アンテナとフィールド整合(FA)アンテナの比較、(2)FAモノポールとFAダイポールの比較。その結果、FAアンテナとTAアンテナは同程度の大きさのプラズマ電位を生成し、FAモノポールはFAダイポールよりも大きな電位を誘起することが示された。TDEによるRF誘起プラズマ電位の推定結果は、ポロイダル位相速度に基づく従来の結果と一致する。
