Abstract

International audience; Collective light scattering (CLS) has been recently extended to the observation of Hall effect thruster plasmas. A better understanding of the physics of Hall thrusters is key to improving thruster operation and lifetimes. In particular, the origins of thruster phenomena such as anomalous electron transport need to be determined. A high-performance CLS diagnostic has therefore been developed for identifying and measuring electron density fluctuations in the thruster, at millimetric length scales and MHz frequencies. Such modes are believed to play a role in anomalous transport, and experiments so far performed have provided information on their dispersion relations, amplitude and directivity. This work describes the technical aspects of the optical bench and the range of accessible experiments (© 2011 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)

Abstract

Over the last years, owing to hardware progress and the development of new methods, reflectometry has become a common diagnostic on plasma fusion devices. This paper presents some results obtained with reflectometry on transport, turbulence and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD). The emphasis is put on some new results from Tore-Supra. Combining the density profile and fluctuation measurement, it was shown on Tore-Supra that the particle pinch inside the q = 1 surface is close to the neoclassical value in ohmic plasma, while the observed small diffusion is in agreement with a very low level of density fluctuations inside the q = 1 surface. In β scaling experiments, no change in the fluctuation levels was found on Tore-Supra, in agreement with the observation of weak confinement degradation with increasing β. Zonal flows have been detected by Doppler reflectometry in ASDEX-U and with correlation reflectometry in T-10. On Tore-Supra, a fast decrease in the density fluctuation level at high poloidal wavenumbers was measured with Doppler reflectometry, suggesting a minor role of electron temperature gradient driven modes. Various forms of Alfven eigenmodes (toroidal Alfven eigenmodes, Alfven cascades and possibly beta Alfven eigenmodes) have been detected with reflectometry in TFTR, JET and Tore-Supra. The density fluctuations induced by the mode were found to be higher on the high-field side.

Abstract

Microwave beam backscattering near the cut-off layer appears to be the most interesting diagnostic to observe density fluctuation time evolution for a given localization in the plasma and at a defined wave vector. It also provides perpendicular plasma velocity. Scattering only occurs when the Bragg selection rule is fulfilled, i.e. when the scattering wave vector is almost perpendicular to the magnetic field. In order to evaluate these scattering conditions, ray tracing is required. 3D geometry is necessary to evaluate the angle between the magnetic field and the wave vector at the reflection. The ripple effect on the iso-index layer curve cannot be neglected. Scattering localization and wave vector resolution can be approached if single ray tracing is replaced with quasi-optical beam tracing. Optical propagation is still considered in the WKB approximation but the beam is described as multiple connected rays. The beam radial expansion due to diffraction is well described. This approach allows one to compute beam parameters for all data acquisitions (50 triggers per shot) and all shots (40 shots per day) during the following night on a recent personal computer with MatLab©.

Abstract

Using a light scattering technique, we find that large density fluctuations in an air jet are clustered in time. A phase-space embedding allows us to propose a simple (S-shaped) manifold underlying the phase-space structure. In this context the temporal complexity naturally arises as stochastic fluctuations are added to the deterministic part of the model.

Abstract

International audience; In recent numerical, theoretical, and experimental papers, the short-scale electron cyclotron drift instability (ECDI) has been studied as a possible contributor to the anomalous electron current observed in Hall thrusters. In this work, features of the instability, in the presence of a zero-electron emission material at the thruster exit plane, are analyzed using coherent Thomson scattering. Limiting the electron emission at the exit plane alters the localization of the accelerating electric field and the expected drift velocity profile, which in turn modifies the amplitude and localization of the ECDI. The resulting changes to the standard thruster operation are expected to favor an increased contribution by the ECDI to electron current. Such an operation is associated with a degradation of thruster performance and stability.

Abstract

Équipe 107 : Physique des plasmas chauds; International audience; Collective Thomson scattering experiments reveal the presence of high-frequency, axial electron density fluctuations at millimetric wavelengths in the Hall thruster plasma. The properties of these fluctuations are investigated experimentally and via linear kinetic theory. The relative drift of electrons and ions in the axial direction is found to be insufficient to cause excitation of the observed mode. Instead, the mode is determined to be a two-stream instability arising due to the velocity difference between singly and doubly charged ion populations in the plume.

Abstract

The information exchange dynamics between different spatial scales of a turbulent field is experimentally investigated, with particular reference to the energy cascade process. This is done by use of the collective light scattering (CLS) diagnostic, a new optical setting tuned for the observation of atomic number density fluctuations at macroscopic scales. A two-channel scattering device is described that provides simultaneously the fluctuations at two different spatial scales. The turbulent system is an axisymmetric air jet. With this system, time correlations between signal amplitudes for two different scales show a characteristic time width. This time does not depend on the observed scales: it is close to the turbulence production time. Nevertheless, signal amplitude autocorrelation shows a shorter characteristic time. The autocorrelation time scaling law behaves almost like the eddy turnover time from Kolmogorov theory.

Abstract

On Tore Supra, the frequency spectra of the turbulent fluctuations often have two peaks centred on some positive and negative values. These two peaks correspond to a poloidal motion of the electrons in opposite directions. In this paper, a criterion is elaborated which allows us to distinguish, in time, the density fluctuations convected in the parallel direction from those in the anti-parallel direction with respect to the analysing wavevector. Two signals are thus extracted out of one. The validity of our model is experimentally checked by comparing the auto-correlation coefficients and the frequency spectra computed for the whole and the separated signals. Consequently, the frequency spectrum is studied in detail as a function of the analysing wavenumber leading to an accurate determination of some plasma properties.

Abstract

Équipe 107 : Physique des plasmas chauds; International audience; Microturbulence has been implicated in anomalous transport at the exit of the Hall thruster, and recent simulations have shown the presence of an azimuthal wave which is believed to contribute to the electron axial mobility. In this paper, the 3D dispersion relation of this E x B electron drift instability is numerically solved. The mode is found to resemble an ion acoustic mode for low values of the magnetic field, as long as a non-vanishing component of the wave vector along the magnetic field is considered, and as long as the drift velocity is small compared to the electron thermal velocity. In these conditions, an analytical model of the dispersion relation for the instability is obtained and is shown to adequately describe the mode obtained numerically. This model is then fitted on the experimental dispersion relation obtained from the plasma of a Hall thruster by the collective light scattering diagnostic. The observed frequency-wave vector dependences are found to be similar to the dispersion relation of linear theory, and the fit provides a non-invasive measurement of the electron temperature and density.

Abstract

The main results of the Tore Supra experimental programme in the years 2007–2008 are reported. They document significant progress achieved in the domain of steady-state tokamak research, as well as in more general issues relevant for ITER and for fusion physics research. Three areas are covered: ITER relevant technology developments and tests in a real machine environment, tokamak operational issues for high power and long pulses, and fusion plasma physics. Results presented in this paper include test and validation of a new, load-resilient concept of ion cycotron resonance heating antenna and of an inspection robot operated under ultra-high vacuum and high temperature conditions; an extensive experimental campaign (5 h of plasma) aiming at deuterium inventory and carbon migration studies; real-time control of sawteeth by electron cyclotron current drive in the presence of fast ion tails; ECRH-assisted plasma start-up studies; dimensionless scalings of transport and turbulence; transport experiments using active perturbation methods; resistive and fast-particle driven MHD studies. The potential role of Tore Supra in the worldwide fusion programme before the start of ITER operation is also discussed.

Abstract

International audience; The effect of the collective light scattering diagnostic transfer function is considered in the context of the dispersion relation of the unstable E×B mode previously reported. This transfer function is found to have a contribution to the measured frequencies and mode amplitudes which is more or less significant depending on the measurement wavenumbers and angles. After deconvolution, the experimental data are found to be possibly compatible with the idea that the mode frequency in the jet frame (after subtraction of the Doppler effect due to the plasma motion along the thruster axis) is independent of the orientation of the wave vector in the plane orthogonal to the local magnetic field.

Abstract

International audience; Collective scattering measurements have been conducted on the plasma of a Hall thruster, in which the electron density fluctuations are fully characterized by the dynamic form factor. The dynamic form factor amplitude distribution has been measured depending on the k-vector spatial and frequency components at different locations. Fluctuations are seen as propagating waves. The largest amplitude mode propagates nearly along the cross-field direction but at a phase velocity that is much smaller than the E×B drift velocity. Refined directional analysis of this largest amplitude mode shows a thin angular emission diagram with a mean direction that is not strictly along the E×B direction but at small angles near it. The deviation is oriented toward the anode in the (E,E×B) plane and toward the exterior of the thruster channel in the (B,E×B) plane. The density fluctuation rate is on the order of 1%. These experimentally determined directional fluctuation characteristics are discussed with regard to the linear kinetic theory model and particle-in-cell simulation results.

Abstract

a quiescent runaway beam carrying the entire electrical current appears to develop in some cases. Developments in plasma control have benefited from progress in individual controller design and have evolved steadily towards controller integration, mostly within an environment supervised by a tokamak profile control simulator. TCV has demonstrated effective wall conditioning with ECRH in He in support of the preparations for JT-60SA operation. © 2017 Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne., in particular, the double decay length in L-mode limited plasmas was found to be replaced by a single length at high SOL resistivity. Experiments on disruption mitigation by massive gas injection and electron-cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) have begun in earnest, in parallel with studies of runaway electron generation and control, in both stable and disruptive conditions, The TCV tokamak is augmenting its unique historical capabilities (strong shaping, strong electron heating) with ion heating, additional electron heating compatible with high densities, and variable divertor geometry, in a multifaceted upgrade program designed to broaden its operational range without sacrificing its fundamental flexibility. The TCV program is rooted in a three-pronged approach aimed at ITER support, explorations towards DEMO, and fundamental research. A 1 MW, tangential neutral beam injector (NBI) was recently installed and promptly extended the TCV parameter range, with record ion temperatures and toroidal rotation velocities and measurable neutral-beam current drive. ITER-relevant scenario development has received particular attention, with strategies aimed at maximizing performance through optimized discharge trajectories to avoid MHD instabilities, such as peeling-ballooning and neoclassical tearing modes. Experiments on exhaust physics have focused particularly on detachment, a necessary step to a DEMO reactor, in a comprehensive set of conventional and advanced divertor concepts. The specific theoretical prediction of an enhanced radiation region between the two X-points in the low-field-side snowflake-minus configuration was experimentally confirmed. Fundamental investigations of the power decay length in the scrape-off layer (SOL) are progressing rapidly, again in widely varying configurations and in both D and He plasmas
