Observation of fast electron redistribution during saturated kink mode in high H-mode discharge with central heating in EAST tokamak

In the EAST tokamak, we have developed an internal transport barrier (ITB) high-confinement mode (H-mode) scenario characterized by dominant electron heating and centrally peaked electron temperature profiles, facilitated primarily through the combustion of lower hybrid current drive and electron cyclotron radio heating (ECRH). Hard x-ray diagnostics reveal a marked increase in the population of fast electrons with energy from 30 keV to 80 keV, concurrent with augmented ECRH power during H-mode plasma operations. This surge in fast electron population precedes the formation of the electron temperature ITB (Te-ITB). Within the Te-ITB H-mode discharge, a mild and long-lived m/n = 1/1 mode (where m and n denote the toroidal and poloidal mode numbers, respectively) emerges proximal to the ITB region. This mode precipitates a redistribution of fast electrons, contributing to an increase in the safety factor near the magnetic axis and thereby promoting the stability of the Te-ITB. Furthermore, we explore the influence of fast electrons on plasma pressure and examine the effects of the profile of fast electrons on the central Te. Strategies to maintain the m/n = 1/1 mode at a moderate amplitude are also discussed, highlighting their significance in the sustained management of Te-ITB.

EASTトカマクにおいて、電子加熱が支配的で、電子温度が中心部でピークを持つ内部輸送障壁(ITB)高閉じ込めモード(Hモード)シナリオを開発した。これは主に、低混合同軸電流駆動と電子サイクロトロン高周波加熱(ECRH)の燃焼を通じて実現される。硬X線診断により、Hモードプラズマ運転中にECRHパワーが増大すると、30keVから80keVのエネルギーを持つ高速電子の集団が顕著に増加することが明らかになった。この高速電子集団の急増は、電子温度ITB(Te-ITB)の形成に先行して発生する。Te-ITB Hモード放電内では、m/n = 1/1モード(ここでmおよびnはそれぞれポロイダルモード数およびトロイダルモード数を表す)がITB領域近傍で発生し、穏やかで長寿命のモードとして持続する。このモードは高速電子の再分布を引き起こし、磁気軸近傍の安全係数の増加に寄与し、それによってTe-ITBの安定性を促進する。さらに、高速電子がプラズマ圧力に及ぼす影響を調査し、高速電子の分布プロファイルが中心部のTeに与える影響を検討する。また、m/n = 1/1モードを適度な振幅で維持するための方策について議論し、Te-ITBの持続的な維持におけるその重要性を強調する。

EAST トカマクでは、電子サイクロトロン共鳴加熱(ECRH)と下部ハイブリッド電流駆動により電子加熱優勢のH-モード放電が実現された。その際、高速電子の増加と電子温度内部輸送障壁(Te-ITB)の形成が観察された。Te-ITBの領域では1/1のモードが発生し、高速電子の再分布を引き起こした。これにより、磁気軸付近の安全係数が増加し、Te-ITBの安定性が向上した。

This paper describes the observation of a surge in fast electron population and redistribution during a high-confinement mode (H-mode) discharge in the EAST tokamak. The formation of an internal transport barrier (ITB) and a mild, long-lived m/n = 1/1 mode contributed to the increase in the safety factor near the magnetic axis, promoting the stability of the ITB. The influence of fast electrons on plasma pressure and their effect on the central electron temperature are also explored, highlighting strategies to maintain the m/n = 1/1 mode for sustained ITB management.
