1. SOLPS 5.0 simulations of the high-field side divertor detachment of L-mode plasmas in ASDEX upgrade with convection-dominated radial SOL transport

Abstract: SOLPS 5.0 simulations assuming convection-dominated radial ion transport show qualitative and quantitative agreement with measurements of detached high-field side (HFS) divertor conditions for unseeded low-power L-mode plasmas in ASDEX Upgrade, while simultaneously maintaining a reasonable match to the density and temperature measurements at the low-field side (LFS) and HFS midplanes within the scatter of the data. The decreased diffusive transport from the high-density region in the HFS divertor volume across the separatrix into the core enables spatial extension of the high-density front to above the X-point in agreement with spectroscopic measurements. The suppressed ion fuelling from this region into the core plasma allows increasing the neutral D2 fuelling to experimental levels, leading to agreement with the measured sub-divertor neutral fluxes within 30%. Detachment of the HFS divertor is observed as a significant decrease of the target ion flux and as reproduction of the characteristic roll-over behaviour of the integrated target ion current at increasing upstream density.

Abstract: Toroidal and poloidal flows of injected N+ ions were measured in the high-field side (HFS) scrape-off layer (SOL) of ASDEX Upgrade by Doppler spectroscopy with different degrees of HFS divertor detachment. In high-recycling conditions, the results suggest reversed parallel N+ flow away from the inner divertor in the near SOL close to the separatrix, while the flow is towards the inner divertor throughout the SOL in detached conditions. The measured poloidal N+ flows were directed away from the HFS divertor in the near SOL for all density cases. Divertor plasma oscillations, characterized by momentary peaking of the HFS target ion flux and decrease of the HFS SOL density, were observed slightly before the roll-over of the ion saturation current to the HFS target and lead to an increase in the N+ flow towards the HFS divertor. SOLPS and ERO simulations of the experiment predict entrainment below 50% between the velocities of N+ and D+ ions, suggesting that N+ ions are quantitatively a limited proxy for measuring D+ flows. ERO simulations show significantly higher entrainment for higher ionization states, e.g., N2+ and N3+. Keywords: Impurity migration, Doppler spectroscopy, SOL flow, Divertor detachment

3. The high field side high density region in SOLPS-modeling of nitrogen-seeded H-modes in ASDEX Upgrade

Abstract: The understanding of divertor physics and the evolution of divertor detachment is crucial for developing the capability to model power exhaust in current experiments and reliably predict it for future fusion devices. In simulations of ASDEX Upgrade, an experimentally observed region of high density in the high field side scrape-off layer has been recovered. Validated modeling with SOLPS5.0 shows that a detailed match of the high field side scrape-off layer plasma is not only important for local plasma parameters, but can lead to strong changes in global parameters. Drifts play a crucial role in lower-single null discharges with forward toroidal field (∇B→-drift pointing down). Their inclusion changes the spatial extent as well as the radial and poloidal gradients of the high field side high density. Adapted transport coefficients that take into account core fueling by plasma diffusion due to the presence of the high field side density and drift-driven radial fluxes now reconcile the modeled deuterium compression ratio, divertor neutral density, neutral radiation levels and deuterium fueling rates with experimental measurements. The onset of strong volume recombination in the simulations now allows to remove the previously necessary increase of perpendicular transport in the inner divertor from the simulations.

4. Nitrogen transport in ASDEX Upgrade: Role of surface roughness and transport to the main wall

Abstract: We have studied the retention of nitrogen in surfaces with varying roughness and the transport of nitrogen from the divertor to the outer midplane in experiments at the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade. To allow for a reliable identification of nitrogen retained from the plasma exposure, 5.3 · 1021 atoms of the tracer isotope 15N were injected into the private flux region of the plasma. On polished W samples exposed to the plasma in the outer divertor, the N content peaks to both sides of the strike line with an areal density of 1.5 · 1020 15N/m2 and drops to a value of 1.0 · 1020 15N/m2 in the strike line region. In contrast, the N content of samples with a rougher surface peaks at the strike line and reaches areal densities of 3.0 · 1020 15N/m2. The N deposition at the outer limiters was measured via samples exposed on the midplane manipulator. At the limiter position the 15N areal density reaches a value of 0.2 · 1020 15N/m2, only a factor of ten smaller than the areal densities in the divertor. However, a comparison to WallDYN simulations shows that the observed N content is roughly a factor of 4 smaller than the value predicted by these simulations. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are the toroidal asymmetric main wall geometry, which currently cannot be fully included in the simulations, or an enhanced re-erosion of deposited N.

5. Expanding the role of impurity spectroscopy for investigating the physics of high-Z dissipative divertors

Abstract: New techniques that attempt to more fully exploit spectroscopic diagnostics in the divertor and pedestal region during highly dissipative scenarios are demonstrated using experimental results from recent low-Z seeding experiments on Alcator C-Mod, JET and ASDEX Upgrade. To exhaust power at high parallel heat flux, q∥ > 1 GW/m2, while minimizing erosion, reactors with solid, high-Z plasma facing components (PFCs) are expected to use extrinsic impurity seeding. Due to transport and atomic physics processes which impact impurity ionization balance, so-called ‘non-coronal’ effects, we do not accurately know and have yet to demonstrate the maximum q∥ which can be mitigated in a tokamak. Radiation enhancement for nitrogen is shown to arise primarily from changes in Li- and Be-like charge states on open field lines, but also through transport-driven enhancement of H- and He-like charge states in the pedestal region. Measurements are presented from nitrogen seeded H-mode and L-mode plasmas where emission from N1+ through N6+ are observed. Active charge exchange spectroscopy of partially ionized low-Z impurities in the plasma edge is explored to measure N5+ and N6+ within the confined plasma, while passive UV and visible spectroscopy is used to measure N1+-N4+ in the boundary. Examples from recent JET and Alcator C-Mod experiments which employ nitrogen seeding highlight how improving spectroscopic coverage can be used to gain empirical insight and provide more data to validate boundary simulations.

Abstract: Tungsten (W) will be used as material for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in the divertor of ITER and interact with Helium (He) ions either from initial He plasma operation or from Deuterium-Tritium (DT) fusion reactions in the active operation phase. Laboratory experiments reported that in a specific operational window of impact energy, ion fluence, and surface temperature (Ein ≥ 20 eV, ϕ ≥ 1 × 1024 He+mBt=2.5T,Ip=0.8MA,Paux≃8.0MW Tsurf ≥ 1000 K) a modification of W surfaces occurs resulting in the formation of He-induced W nanostructures. Experiments in ASDEX Upgrade H-mode plasmas (Ein=37keV T, ϕ≃0.75×1024He0m−2 MA, Paux ≃ 8.0 MW) in He have been carried out to investigate in detail (a) the potential growth of W nanostructures on pre-damaged W samples incorporating He nanobubbles, and (b) the potential ELM-induced erosion of W nanostructure. Both W surface modifications were generated artificially in the GLADIS facility by He bombardment of W samples at ϕ≃1×1024He0m−2 keV (a) to ϕ ≃ 0.75 × 1024 He0mϕ≃1.6×1024He+m−2 at Tsurf ≃ 1800 K and (b) ϕ ≃ 1 × 1024 He0m−2 at Tsurf ≃ 2300 K prior to exposure in the divertor manipulator of ASDEX Upgrade. Though in part (a) conditions of W nanostructure growth with a total He ion fluence of ϕ ≃ 1.6 × 1024 He+m−2 and peak He ion impact energies above 150 eV were met, no growth could be detected. In part (b) lower density plasmas with more pronounced type I ELMs, carrying energetic He ions in the keV range, were executed with the strike-line positioned on 2 µm thick W nanostructure accumulating a fluence of ϕ ≃ 0.8 × 1024 He+m−2. Post-mortem analysis revealed that co-deposition by predominantly W, and Boron (B), eroded at the main chamber wall and transported into the divertor, took place on all W samples. Erosion of W nanostructure or its formation was hindered by the fact that the outer divertor at the location of the samples was turned under these He plasma conditions into a net deposition zone by W, B and Carbon (C) ions. The surface morphology with large roughness and effective surface area act as a catcher for the impinging impurities. Thus, apart from operation in the existence diagram of W nanostructure with respect to Tsurf, ϕ, and Ein, also the impinging impurity flux contribution needs to be considered in predictions concerning the formation of W nanostructures.

7. Stability and propagation of the high field side high density front in the fluctuating state of detachment in ASDEX Upgrade

Author: P. Manz, S. Potzel, F. Reimold, M. Wischmeier, and ASDEX Upgrade Team
Subjects: Nuclear engineering. Atomic power, TK9001-9401
Abstract: During detachment a structure of strongly enhanced density develops close to the inner target. Its dynamics is approximated by those of radiative fluctuations appearing at a similar position and studied by means of a time-delay-estimation technique in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. Compared to theory the dynamics can be described as follows: at increasing density the ionization front moves upstream to reduce ionization radiation in order to balance the increased recombination radiation. The recombination zone stays close to the target strike point. The parallel motion of the ionization front is determined by the perpendicular neutral motion. The divertor nose constitutes an obstacle for the perpendicular neutral flux from the target to the region above the X-point. Passing into this shadow the neutral flux above the X-point is strongly reduced, the ionization front fades away and the heat flux from upstream can increase the temperature in the recombination region, subsequently reducing recombination and reforming an ionization front below the X-point. A cyclic reformation of the ionization front propagating from below to above the X-point occurs leading to a fluctuation as observed in the experiment.

Abstract: A global heat flux model based on a fractional derivative of plasma pressure is proposed for the heat transport in fusion plasmas. The degree of the fractional derivative of the heat flux, α, is defined through the power balance analysis of the steady state. The model was used to obtain the experimental values of α for a large database of the Joint European Torus (JET) carbon-wall as well as ITER like-wall plasmas. The fractional degrees of the electron heat flux are found to be α

Abstract: In addition to the relaxation of the pedestal, edge localised modes (ELMs) introduce changes to the divertor and scrape-off layer (SOL) conditions. Their impact on the inter-ELM pedestal recovery is investigated, with emphasis on the electron density (ne) evolution. The typical ELM cycle occurring in an exemplary ASDEX Upgrade discharge interval at moderate applied gas puff and heating power is characterised, utilising several divertor, SOL and pedestal diagnostics. In the studied discharge interval the inner divertor target is detached before the ELM crash, while the outer target is attached. The particles and power expelled by the ELM crash lead to a reattachment of the inner target plasma. After the ELM crash, the outer divertor target moves into a high recycling regime with large ne in front of the plate, which is accompanied by high main chamber neutral fluxes. On similar timescales, the inner target fully detaches and the high field side high density region (HFSHD) is formed reaching up to the high field side midplane. This state evolves again to the pre-ELM state, when the main chamber neutral fluxes are reduced later in the ELM cycle. Neither the timescale of the appearance of the HFSHD nor the increase of the main chamber neutral fluxes fit the timescale of the ne pedestal, which is faster. It is found that during the ne pedestal recovery, the magnetic activity at the low field side midplane is strongly reduced indicating a lower level of fluctuations. A rough estimation of the particle flux across the pedestal suggests that the particle flux is reduced in this period. In conclusion, the evolution of the ne pedestal is determined by a combination of neutral fluxes, HFSHD and reduced particle flux across the pedestal. A reduced particle flux explains the fast, experimentally observed reestablishment of the ne pedestal best, whereas neutrals and HFSHD impact on the evolution of the SOL and separatrix conditions.

Abstract: The ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) programme, jointly run with the EUROfusion MST1 task force, continues to significantly enhance the physics base of ITER and DEMO. Here, the full tungsten wall is a key asset for extrapolating to future devices. The high overall heating power, flexible heating mix and comprehensive diagnostic set allows studies ranging from mimicking the scrape-off-layer and divertor conditions of ITER and DEMO at high density to fully non-inductive operation (q95 = 5.5, ) at low density. Higher installed electron cyclotron resonance heating power 6 MW, new diagnostics and improved analysis techniques have further enhanced the capabilities of AUG. Stable high-density H-modes with MW m−1 with fully detached strike-points have been demonstrated. The ballooning instability close to the separatrix has been identified as a potential cause leading to the H-mode density limit and is also found to play an important role for the access to small edge-localized modes (ELMs). Density limit disruptions have been successfully avoided using a path-oriented approach to disruption handling and progress has been made in understanding the dissipation and avoidance of runaway electron beams. ELM suppression with resonant magnetic perturbations is now routinely achieved reaching transiently . This gives new insight into the field penetration physics, in particular with respect to plasma flows. Modelling agrees well with plasma response measurements and a helically localised ballooning structure observed prior to the ELM is evidence for the changed edge stability due to the magnetic perturbations. The impact of 3D perturbations on heat load patterns and fast-ion losses have been further elaborated. Progress has also been made in understanding the ELM cycle itself. Here, new fast measurements of and Er allow for inter ELM transport analysis confirming that Er is dominated by the diamagnetic term even for fast timescales. New analysis techniques allow detailed comparison of the ELM crash and are in good agreement with nonlinear MHD modelling. The observation of accelerated ions during the ELM crash can be seen as evidence for the reconnection during the ELM. As type-I ELMs (even mitigated) are likely not a viable operational regime in DEMO studies of 'natural' no ELM regimes have been extended. Stable I-modes up to have been characterised using -feedback. Core physics has been advanced by more detailed characterisation of the turbulence with new measurements such as the eddy tilt angle—measured for the first time—or the cross-phase angle of and fluctuations. These new data put strong constraints on gyro-kinetic turbulence modelling. In addition, carefully executed studies in different main species (H, D and He) and with different heating mixes highlight the importance of the collisional energy exchange for interpreting energy confinement. A new regime with a hollow profile now gives access to regimes mimicking aspects of burning plasma conditions and lead to nonlinear interactions of energetic particle modes despite the sub-Alfvénic beam energy. This will help to validate the fast-ion codes for predicting ITER and DEMO.

Abstract: Power exhaust in future fusion devices is critical and operation with a detached divertor is foreseen for ITER and DEMO. The evolution of detachment in nitrogen seeded H-mode discharges at ASDEX Upgrade is categorized in four phases. Complete detachment of the outer target is found to be correlated with a strongly localized radiation at the X-point and a pressure loss at the pedestal top at almost constant core plasma pressure. SOLPS modeling shows that enhanced radial transport in the divertor region is necessary to reconcile the experimental profiles with the simulations. The modeling supports the experimental observation of the correlation of complete detachment with an X-point radiation and a reduction of the pedestal top pressure. A remaining discrepancy are significantly lower neutral densities in the divertor compared to experiment. The effects of wall pumping, the particle reflection model and the boundary conditions on the plasma solution are discussed.

Abstract: The impact of lithium (Li) on plasma performance was investigated at the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak, which features a full tungsten wall. Li pellets containing 1.6 × 1020 Li atoms were launched with a speed of 600 m s−1 to achieve deep penetration into the plasma and minimize the impact on the first wall. Homogeneous transient Li concentrations in the plasma of up to 15% were established. The Li sustainment time in the plasma decreased with an increasing heating power from 150 to 40 ms. Due to the pellet rate being restricted to 2 Hz, no Li pile-up could take place. No significant positive impact on plasma properties, as reported from other tokamak devices, could be found; the Li pellets rather caused a small reduction in plasma energy, mainly due to enhanced radiation. Due to pellet injection, a short-lived Li layer was formed on the plasma-facing components, which lasted a few discharges and led to moderately beneficial effects during plasma start-up. Most pellets were found to trigger type-I ELMs, either by their direct local perturbation or indirectly by the altered edge conditions; however, reliability was less than 100%.

Abstract: The 2014–2016 JET results are reviewed in the light of their significance for optimising the ITER research plan for the active and non-active operation. More than 60 h of plasma operation with ITER first wall materials successfully took place since its installation in 2011. New multi-machine scaling of the type I-ELM divertor energy flux density to ITER is supported by first principle modelling. ITER relevant disruption experiments and first principle modelling are reported with a set of three disruption mitigation valves mimicking the ITER setup. Insights of the L–H power threshold in Deuterium and Hydrogen are given, stressing the importance of the magnetic configurations and the recent measurements of fine-scale structures in the edge radial electric. Dimensionless scans of the core and pedestal confinement provide new information to elucidate the importance of the first wall material on the fusion performance. H-mode plasmas at ITER triangularity (H = 1 at ßN ~ 1.8 and n/nGW ~ 0.6) have been sustained at 2 MA during 5 s. The ITER neutronics codes have been validated on high performance experiments. Prospects for the coming D–T campaign and 14 MeV neutron calibration strategy are reviewed. This work has been carried out within the framework of the EUROfusion Consortium and has received funding from the Euratom research and training programme 2014–2018 under grant agreement No 633053.

Abstract: Carbon (CD4) and nitrogen (N2) have been seeded in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) with a tungsten wall and have both led to a 20–30% confinement improvement. The reference plasma is a standard target plasma with I p /B T = 1 MA/2.5 T, total input power P tot ~ 12 MW and normalized pressure of β N ~ 1.8. Carbon and nitrogen are almost perfectly exchangeable for the core, pedestal and divertor plasma in this experiment where impurity concentrations of C and N of 2% are achieved and Z eff only mildly increases from ~1.3 to ~1.7. As the radiation potentials of C and N are similar and peak well below 100 eV, both impurities act as divertor radiators and radiate well outside the pedestal region. The outer divertor is purposely kept in an attached state when C and N are seeded to avoid confinement degradation by detachment. As reported in earlier publications for nitrogen, carbon is also seen to reduce the high field side high density (the so-called HFSHD) in the scrape off layer above the inner divertor strike point by about 50%. This is accompanied by a confinement improvement for both low (δ ~ 0.25) and high (δ ~ 0.4) triangularity configurations for both seeding gases, due to an increase of pedestal temperature and stiff core temperature profiles. The electron density profiles show no apparent change due to the seeding. As an orthogonal effect, increasing the triangularity leads to an additionally increased pedestal density, independent of the impurity seeding. This experiment further closes the gap in understanding the confinement differences observed in carbon and metal wall devices; the absence of carbon can be substituted by nitrogen which leads to a similar confinement benefit. So far, no definite physics explanation for the confinement enhancement has been obtained, but the experimental observations in this paper provide input for further model development.

Valisa, ASDEX Upgrade Team, TCV Team, and the EUROfusion MST Team
Abstract: ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and TCV have recently joined the international eort of better understanding runaway electron (RE) generation and dissipation, aiding the development of the future ITER disruption & runaway electron mitigation system. The AUG post- disruption RE beams can carry up to 400 kA of current and last up to 500 ms. Suppression of REs was achieved with 0.17 barl of argon or 0.7 barl of neon massive gas injection (MGI) into a fully formed beam using the in-vessel valves. A resonant magnetic perturbation conguration was developed that leads to up to a factor of 2 decrease in the RE current. TCV quiescent RE scenarios show RE generation at E=Ec & 15. MGI induced disruptions can achieve a full conversion of Ohmic current into runaways and beam lengths of up to 650 ms. High-Z injections of argon & neon on TCV lead to enhanced RE dissipation, but not a full suppression. Elongated plasmas were found to not generate RE beams. Pre-disruption seed electrons have been found to survive the disruption on both tokamaks, indicating a partially conned core during the quench phase.

Abstract: Multi-fluid plasma edge code packages, usually coupled to Monte-Carlo transport codes for neutrals are in wide use in the fusion community to simulate the SOL and divertor. A status of the current code validation effort is presented using experimental data of Ohmic and L-mode discharges from ASDEX Upgrade for He in forward toroidal field, BT, only and for D fueled in forward and reversed BT in lower single null configurations. While satisfactory agreement between simulated and experimental data can be obtained for both divertors as long as one of the two divertors is not strongly recombining, the qualitative behavior as a function of line averaged density cannot be recovered in the simulations for higher recycling regimes. This holds independently of field direction or fueling species. Semi-empirical models and thus far not included physics models are discussed.

Abstract: Improvements to the Thomson scattering diagnostic have enabled the study of near scrape-off layer (SOL) decay lengths in the 2014 ASDEX Upgrade experimental campaign. A database of H-mode discharges has been studied using a two-line fit method for the core and log-linear fit for the near SOL region under both attached and detached divertor conditions. SOL electron temperature profiles have been found to have a radial exponential decay distribution which does not vary poloidally, consistent with the two-point model. In attached H-mode regimes, a log-linear regression shows that the SOL upstream dataset has the same main parametric dependencies as the scaling inferred from downstream Infrared camera measurements. A simple collisional relation from two-point model is found to best relate the upstream decay lengths and downstream divertor power widths. The SOL gradient length appears to be independent of pedestal parameters, but may correlate with the pedestal electron pressure parameters. Both the pedestal and SOL density and temperature scale lengths are linearly correlated with an almost constant gradient ratio, . The smaller gradient ratio and the fact that the Spitzer–Harm model is more valid, agrees with the studied plasma lying in the collisional regime. A transition to flat SOL ne profiles, previously reported for L-mode plasmas in many machines, has been observed in AUG detatched H-mode regimes. When the flattening of density profile happens in H-mode detached plasmas, the broadening of near SOL decay length also appears which may be good news for future machines.

Abstract: This article presents the development of a region of high electron density, being one order of magnitude larger than the separatrix density, in the inner divertor of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and JET. The high-field side high density (HFSHD) occurs about 10 × λ q away from the separatrix and about 20 cm above the X-point. To trigger the HFSHD, the inner divertor has to be detached while the outer one remains attached and the heating power has to be sufficiently high. The HFSHD, determined independently from spectroscopic and interferometric measurements, is clearly correlated with neutral fluxes in the far scrape-off layer; both increase with heating power. Injection of N2 into the divertor private flux region suppresses the HFSHD in AUG and JET. The density distribution in the divertor with and without N2 seeding is consistent with the total radiation and the D γ distribution.

Abstract: Detachment of high power discharges is obtained in ASDEX Upgrade by simultaneous feedback control of core radiation and divertor radiation or thermoelectric currents by the injection of radiating impurities. So far 2/3 of the ITER normalized heat flux Psep/R = 15 MW m−1 has been obtained in ASDEX Upgrade under partially detached conditions with a peak target heat flux well below 10 MW m−2. When the detachment is further pronounced towards lower peak heat flux at the target, substantial changes in edge localized mode (ELM) behaviour, density and radiation distribution occur. The time-averaged peak heat flux at both divertor targets can be reduced below 2 MW m−2, which offers an attractive DEMO divertor scenario with potential for simpler and cheaper technical solutions. Generally, pronounced detachment leads to a pedestal and core density rise by about 20–40%, moderate (

Abstract: The high confinement mode (H-mode) is the operational scenario foreseen for ITER, DEMO and future fusion power plants. At high densities, which are favorable in order to maximize the fusion power, a back transition from the H-mode to the low confinement mode (L-mode) is observed. In present tokamaks, this H-mode density limit (HDL) occurs at densities on the order of, but below, the Greenwald density.In gas ramp discharges at the fully tungsten covered ASDEX Upgrade tokamak (AUG), four distinct operational phases are identified in the approach towards the HDL. These phases are a stable H-mode, a degrading H-mode, the breakdown of the H-mode and an L-mode. They are reproducible, quasi-stable plasma regimes and provide a framework in which the HDL can be further analyzed. During the evolution, energy losses are increased and a fueling limit is encountered. The latter is correlated to a plateau of electron density in the scrape-off layer (SOL). The well-known extension of the good confinement at high density with high triangularity is reflected in this scheme by extending the first phase to higher densities.In this work, two mechanisms are proposed, which can explain the experimental observations. The fueling limit is most likely correlated to an outward shift of the ionization profile. The additional energy loss channel is presumably linked to a regime of increased radial filament transport in the SOL. The SOL and divertor plasmas play a key role for both mechanisms, in line with the previous hypothesis that the HDL is edge-determined.The four phases are also observed in carbon covered AUG, although the HDL density exhibits a different dependency on the heating power and plasma current. This can be attributed to a changed energy loss channel in the presented scheme.

Abstract: In ASDEX Upgrade H-modes with H98≈0.95, similar effect of the ICRF antenna loading improvement by local gas injection was observed as previously in L-modes. The antenna loading resistance Ra between and during ELMs can increase by more than 25% after a switch-over from a deuterium rate of 7.5⋅1021 D/s injected from a toroidally remote location to the same amount of deuterium injected close to an antenna. However, in contrast to L-mode, this effect is small in H-mode when the valve downstream w.r.t. parallel plasma flows is used. In L-mode, a non-linearity of Ra at PICRP 30% with no effect of spectrum and phase of MPs on Ra found so far. In the case ELMs are fully mitigated, the antenna loading is higher and steadier. In the case ELMs are not fully mitigated, the value of Ra between ELMs is increased. Looking at the W source modification for the impro...

Abstract: The most recent experiments of disruption mitigation by massive gas injection in ASDEX Upgrade have concentrated on small-relatively to the past-quantities of noble gas injected, and on the search for the minimum amount of gas necessary for the mitigation of the thermal loads on the divertor and for a significant reduction of the vertical force during the current quench. A scenario for the generation of a long-lived runaway electron beam has been established; this allows the study of runaway current dissipation by moderate quantities of argon injected. This paper presents these recent results and discusses them in the more general context of physical models and extrapolation, and of the open questions, relevant for the realization of the ITER disruption mitigation system.

Abstract: A comparison of the ASDEX Upgrade 3-strap ICRF antenna data with the linear electro-magnetic TOPICA calculations is presented. The comparison substantiates a reduction of the local electric field at the radially protruding plasma-facing elements of the antenna as a relevant approach for minimizing tungsten (W) sputtering in conditions when the slow wave is strongly evanescent. The measured reaction of the time-averaged RF current at the antenna limiters to the antenna feeding variations is less sensitive than predicted by the calculations. This is likely to have been caused by temporal and spatial fluctuations in the 3D plasma density distribution affected by local non-linear interactions. The 3-strap antenna with the W-coated limiters produces drastically less W sputtering compared to the W-coated 2-strap antennas. This is consistent with the non-linear asymptotic SSWICH-SW calculations for RF sheaths. © 2017 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract: In the all W ASDEX Upgrade impurities are injected routinely for radiative cooling. Amongst the different species used, nitrogen has been shown to provide the best cooling effect, while maintaining or even improving the energy confinement. Depending on the divertor plasma parameters a reduction or increase of the W sputtering yield compared to the unseeded phases is observed. Although usually the energy confinement is improved during N-2 seeding, no increased W concentrations are observed. Obviously the particle confinement is not improved and there are no signs of central density peaking. Moreover the sustained regular ELM activity prevents a strong inward transport of W across the pedestal region. In contrast, when using Ar as seeding impurity the ELM frequency is strongly reduced and also a change of central particle transport is observed provoking peaking of the W density profile.

Abstract: The ASDEX Upgrade programme is directed towards physics input to critical elements of the ITER design and the preparation of ITER operation, as well as addressing physics issues for a future DEMO design. After the finalization of the tungsten coating of the plasma facing components, the re-availability of all flywheel-generators allowed high-power operation with up to 20 MW heating power at I p up to 1.2 MA. Implementation of alternative ECRH schemes (140 GHz O2- and X3-mode) facilitated central heating above n e = 1.2 × 1020 m−3 and low q 95 operation at B t = 1.8 T. Central O2-mode heating was successfully used in high P/R discharges with 20 MW total heating power and divertor load control with nitrogen seeding. Improved energy confinement is obtained with nitrogen seeding both for type-I and type-III ELMy conditions. The main contributor is increased plasma temperature, no significant changes in the density profile have been observed. This behaviour may be explained by higher pedestal temperatures caused by ion dilution in combination with a pressure limited pedestal and hollow nitrogen profiles. Core particle transport simulations with gyrokinetic calculations have been benchmarked by dedicated discharges using variations of the ECRH deposition location. The reaction of normalized electron density gradients to variations of temperature gradients and the T e/T i ratio could be well reproduced. Doppler reflectometry studies at the L–H transition allowed the disentanglement of the interplay between the oscillatory geodesic acoustic modes, turbulent fluctuations and the mean equilibrium E × B flow in the edge negative E r well region just inside the separatrix. Improved pedestal diagnostics revealed also a refined picture of the pedestal transport in the fully developed H-mode type-I ELM cycle. Impurity ion transport turned out to be neoclassical in between ELMs. Electron and energy transport remain anomalous, but exhibit different recovery time scales after an ELM. After recovery of the pre-ELM profiles, strong fluctuations develop in the gradients of n e and T e. The occurrence of the next ELM cannot be explained by the local current diffusion time scale, since this turns out to be too short. Fast ion losses induced by shear Alfvén eigenmodes have been investigated by time-resolved energy and pitch angle measurements. This allowed the separation of the convective and diffusive loss mechanisms.

Abstract: In this article we present the development of a new diagnostic capable of determining the electron density in the divertor volume of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG). It is based on the spectroscopic measurement of the Stark broadening of the Balmer lines. In this work two approaches of calculating the Stark broadening, i.e. the unified theory and the model microfield method, are compared. It will be shown that both approaches yield similar results in the case of Balmer lines with high upper principal quantum numbers n. In addition, for typical AUG parameters the influence of the Zeeman splitting on the high n Balmer lines is found to be negligible. Moreover, an assumption for the Doppler broadening of Tn = 5 eV, which is the maximum Frank–Condon dissociation energy of recycled neutrals, is sufficient. The initial electron density measurements performed using this method are found to be consistent with both Langmuir probe and pressure gauge data.

Abstract: In this paper, a new experimental classification of divertor detachment in ASDEX Upgrade is presented. For this purpose, a series of ohmic and L-mode density ramp discharges at different heating powers, magnetic field directions and plasma species were carried out. For the first time at ASDEX Upgrade the electron density in the divertor volume and the occurrence of volume recombination were measured by means of spectroscopy. It is shown that detachment is not a continuously evolving process but rather undergoes three distinct states while the characteristics of the inner and outer divertor are strongly coupled. Before the complete detachment of the inner and outer divertor, radiative fluctuations occur in the inner divertor close to the X-point, observed for the first time via new fast diode bolometers. Finally, the effect of an externally applied magnetic perturbation field on the detachment process is investigated.

Abstract: The understanding of divertor physics and the evolution of divertor detachment is crucial for developing the capability to model power exhaust in current experiments and reliably predict it for future fusion devices. In simulations of ASDEX Upgrade, an experimentally observed region of high density in the high field side scrape-off layer has been recovered. Validated modeling with SOLPS5.0 shows that a detailed match of the high field side scrape-off layer plasma is not only important for local plasma parameters, but can lead to strong changes in global parameters. Drifts play a crucial role in lower-single null discharges with forward toroidal field (∇B→-drift pointing down). Their inclusion changes the spatial extent as well as the radial and poloidal gradients of the high field side high density. Adapted transport coefficients that take into account core fueling by plasma diffusion due to the presence of the high field side density and drift-driven radial fluxes now reconcile the modeled deuterium compression ratio, divertor neutral density, neutral radiation levels and deuterium fueling rates with experimental measurements. The onset of strong volume recombination in the simulations now allows to remove the previously necessary increase of perpendicular transport in the inner divertor from the simulations.

32. Evolution of nitrogen concentration and ammonia production in N2-seeded H-mode discharges at ASDEX Upgrade.

Abstract: Ammonia formation was studied in a series of dedicated nitrogen seeded H-mode discharges at ASDEX Upgrade. The evolution of ammonia formation was investigated with a reference phase before the seeding, and a long, stable flat-top nitrogen-seeded phase. It was monitored with divertor spectroscopy and analysis of the exhaust gas. The amount of the detected ammonia increased continuously over the course of five discharges with the same nitrogen seeding rate. The same trend was observed in the nitrogen density in the core plasma, as measured by charge exchange recombination spectroscopy and other signals, linked to the effects of nitrogen seeding. The results show that the rate of ammonia formation exhibited the same trend as the nitrogen density in the plasma. This density, in turn, was strongly influenced by the nitrogen wall inventory. The spatial distribution of the detected ammonia suggests that a significant contribution to the net ammonia formation is made in plasma-shaded areas, through surface reactions of neutral species.

Abstract: Tungsten (W) will be used as material for plasma-facing components (PFCs) in the divertor of ITER and interact with Helium (He) ions either from initial He plasma operation or from Deuterium-Tritium (DT) fusion reactions in the active operation phase. Laboratory experiments reported that in a specific operational window of impact energy, ion fluence, and surface temperature (E in ≥ 20 eV, φ ≥ 1 × 1024 He+mBt=2.5T, Ip=0.8MA, Paux ≃ 8.0MW Tsurf ≥ 1000 K) a modification of W surfaces occurs resulting in the formation of He-induced W nanostructures. Experiments in ASDEX Upgrade H-mode plasmas (Ein=37keV T, φ ≃ 0.75×1024 He0m−2 MA, Paux ≃ 8.0 MW) in He have been carried out to investigate in detail (a) the potential growth of W nanostructures on pre-damaged W samples incorporating He nanobubbles, and (b) the potential ELM-induced erosion of W nanostructure. Both W surface modifications were generated artificially in the GLADIS facility by He bombardment of W samples at φ ≃ 1×1024 He0m−2 keV (a) to φ ≃ 0.75 × 1024 He0m φ ≃ 1.6×1024 He+m−2 at Tsurf ≃ 1800 K and (b) φ ≃ 1 × 1024 He0m−2 at Tsurf ≃ 2300 K prior to exposure in the divertor manipulator of ASDEX Upgrade. Though in part (a) conditions of W nanostructure growth with a total He ion fluence of φ ≃ 1.6 × 1024 He+m−2 and peak He ion impact energies above 150 eV were met, no growth could be detected. In part (b) lower density plasmas with more pronounced type I ELMs, carrying energetic He ions in the keV range, were executed with the strike-line positioned on 2 µm thick W nanostructure accumulating a fluence of φ ≃ 0.8 × 1024 He+m−2. Post-mortem analysis revealed that co-deposition by predominantly W, and Boron (B), eroded at the main chamber wall and transported into the divertor, took place on all W samples. Erosion of W nanostructure or its formation was hindered by the fact that the outer divertor at the location of the samples was turned under these He plasma conditions into a net deposition zone by W, B and Carbon (C) ions. The surface morphology with large roughness and effective surface area act as a catcher for the impinging impurities. Thus, apart from operation in the existence diagram of W nanostructure with respect to Tsurf, φ, and Ein, also the impinging impurity flux contribution needs to be considered in predictions concerning the formation of W nanostructures.

Abstract: We have studied the retention of nitrogen in surfaces with varying roughness and the transport of nitrogen from the divertor to the outer midplane in experiments at the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade. To allow for a reliable identification of nitrogen retained from the plasma exposure, 5.3 · 1021 atoms of the tracer isotope 15N were injected into the private flux region of the plasma. On polished W samples exposed to the plasma in the outer divertor, the N content peaks to both sides of the strike line with an areal density of 1.5 · 1020 15N/m2 and drops to a value of 1.0 · 1020 15N/m2 in the strike line region. In contrast, the N content of samples with a rougher surface peaks at the strike line and reaches areal densities of 3.0 · 1020 15N/m2. The N deposition at the outer limiters was measured via samples exposed on the midplane manipulator. At the limiter position the 15N areal density reaches a value of 0.2 · 1020 15N/m2, only a factor of ten smaller than the areal densities in the divertor. However, a comparison to WallDYN simulations shows that the observed N content is roughly a factor of 4 smaller than the value predicted by these simulations. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are the toroidal asymmetric main wall geometry, which currently cannot be fully included in the simulations, or an enhanced re-erosion of deposited N.

Abstract: The evolution of the midplane edge electron density profiles and its link to divertor detachment is studied on ASDEX Upgrade, taking advantage of the high resolution high-field-side (HFS) / low-field-side (LFS) O-mode reflectometry measurements. Ohmic and L-mode discharges were studied where detachment was achieved through density ramps. We have shown that the region of high density on the HFS (HFSHD) expands to the midplane, leading to strong poloidal asymmetries in the main chamber SOL density, which are quantified by defining an asymmetry parameter based on reflectometry data. The evolution of the midplane edge density profile in the HFS was observed to respond to divertor oscillations, changing significantly for different divertor detachment states. The HFS/LFS density asymmetry was found to increase with input power and to decrease with seeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Repetitive melting of tungsten by power transients originating from edge localized modes (ELMs) has been studied in ASDEX Upgrade. Tungsten samples were exposed to H-mode discharges at the outer divertor target plate using the divertor manipulator II (DIM-II) system (Herrmann et al 2015 Fusion Eng. Des. 98–9 1496–9). Designed as near replicas of the geometries used also in separate experiments on the JET tokamak (Coenen et al 2015 J. Nucl. Mater. 463 78–84; Coenen et al 2015 Nucl. Fusion55 023010; Matthews et al 2016 Phys. Scr. T167 7), the samples featured a misaligned leading edge and a sloped ridge respectively. Both structures protrude above the default target plate surface thus receiving an increased fraction of the parallel power flux. Transient melting by ELMs was induced by moving the outer strike point to the sample location. The temporal evolution of the measured current flow from the samples to vessel potential confirmed transient melting. Current magnitude and dependency from surface temperature provided strong evidence for thermionic electron emission as main origin of the replacement current driving the melt motion. The different melt patterns observed after exposures at the two sample geometries support the thermionic electron emission model used in the MEMOS melt motion code, which assumes a strong decrease of the thermionic net current at shallow magnetic field to surface angles (Pitts et al 2017 Nucl. Mater. Energy12 60–74). Post exposure ex situ analysis of the retrieved samples show recrystallization of tungsten at the exposed surface areas to a depth of up to several mm. The melt layer transport to less exposed surface areas leads to ratcheting pile up of re-solidified debris with zonal growth extending from the already enlarged grains at the surface.

37. Divertor, scrape-off layer and pedestal particle dynamics in the ELM cycle on ASDEX Upgrade.

Abstract: In addition to the relaxation of the pedestal, edge localised modes (ELMs) introduce changes to the divertor and scrape-off layer (SOL) conditions. Their impact on the inter-ELM pedestal recovery is investigated, with emphasis on the electron density (ne) evolution. The typical ELM cycle occurring in an exemplary ASDEX Upgrade discharge interval at moderate applied gas puff and heating power is characterised, utilising several divertor, SOL and pedestal diagnostics. In the studied discharge interval the inner divertor target is detached before the ELM crash, while the outer target is attached. The particles and power expelled by the ELM crash lead to a re-attachment of the inner target plasma. After the ELM crash, the outer divertor target moves into a high recycling regime with large ne in front of the plate, which is accompanied by high main chamber neutral fluxes. On similar timescales, the inner target fully detaches and the high field side high density region (HFSHD) is formed reaching up to the high field side midplane. This state evolves again to the pre-ELM state, when the main chamber neutral fluxes are reduced later in the ELM cycle. Neither the timescale of the appearance of the HFSHD nor the increase of the main chamber neutral fluxes fit the timescale of the ne pedestal, which is faster. It is found that during the ne pedestal recovery, the magnetic activity at the low field side midplane is strongly reduced indicating a lower level of fluctuations. A rough estimation of the particle flux across the pedestal suggests that the particle flux is reduced in this period. In conclusion, the evolution of the ne pedestal is determined by a combination of neutral fluxes, HFSHD and reduced particle flux across the pedestal. A reduced particle flux explains the fast, experimentally observed re-establishment of the ne pedestal best, whereas neutrals and HFSHD impact on the evolution of the SOL and separatrix conditions.

Abstract: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have found applications in many image processing tasks, such as feature extraction, image classification, and object recognition. It has also been shown that the inverse of CNNs, so- called deconvolutional neural networks, can be used for inverse problems such as plasma tomography. In essence, plasma tomography consists in reconstructing the 2D plasma profile on a poloidal cross-section of a fusion device, based on line-integrated measurements from multiple radiation detectors. Since the reconstruction process is computationally intensive, a deconvolutional neural network trained to produce the same results will yield a significant computational speedup, at the expense of a small error which can be assessed using different metrics. In this work, we discuss the design principles behind such networks, including the use of multiple layers, how they can be stacked, and how their dimensions can be tuned according to the number of detectors and the desired tomographic resolution for a given fusion device. We describe the application of such networks at JET and COMPASS, where at JET we use the bolometer system, and at COMPASS we use the soft X-ray diagnostic based on photodiode arrays.

39. Experiments on transient melting of tungsten by ELMs in ASDEX Upgrade

Abstract: Repetitive melting of tungsten by power transients originating from edge localized modes (ELMs) has been studied in ASDEX Upgrade. Tungsten samples were exposed to H-mode discharges at the outer divertor target plate using the divertor manipulator II (DIM-II) system (Herrmann et al 2015 Fusion Eng. Des. 98–9 1496–9). Designed as near replicas of the geometries used also in separate experiments on the JET tokamak (Coenen et al 2015 J. Nucl. Mater. 463 78–84; Coenen et al 2015 Nucl. Fusion 55 023010; Matthews et al 2016 Phys. Scr. T167 7), the samples featured a misaligned leading edge and a sloped ridge respectively. Both structures protrude above the default target plate surface thus receiving an increased fraction of the parallel power flux. Transient melting by ELMs was induced by moving the outer strike point to the sample location. The temporal evolution of the measured current flow from the samples to vessel potential confirmed transient melting. Current magnitude and dependency from surface temperature provided strong evidence for thermionic electron emission as main origin of the replacement current driving the melt motion. The different melt patterns observed after exposures at the two sample geometries support the thermionic electron emission model used in the MEMOS melt motion code, which assumes a strong decrease of the thermionic net current at shallow magnetic field to surface angles (Pitts et al 2017 Nucl. Mater. Energy 12 60–74). Post exposure ex situ analysis of the retrieved samples show recrystallization of tungsten at the exposed surface areas to a depth of up to several mm. The melt layer transport to less exposed surface areas leads to ratcheting pile up of re-solidified debris with zonal growth extending from the already enlarged grains at the surface.

Abstract: Experimental evidence for the impact of a region of high density localised in the high-field side scrape-off layer (the HFSHD) on plasma confinement is shown in various dedicated experiments on ASDEX Upgrade (AUG). Increasing main ion fuelling is shown to increase the separatrix density and shift the density profile outwards. Predictive pedestal modelling of this shift indicates a 25% decrease in the attainable pedestal top pressure, which compares well with experimental observations in the gas scan. Since the HFSHD can be mitigated by applying nitrogen seeding, a combined scan in fuelling rate, heating power, and nitrogen seeding is presented. Significant increases in the achievable pedestal top pressure are observed with seeding, in particular at high heating powers, and are correlated with inward shifted density profiles and a reduction of the HFSHD and separatrix density. Interpretive linear stability analysis also confirms the impact of a radially shifted pressure profile on peeling-ballooning stability, with an inward shift allowing access to higher pressure gradients and pedestal widths.

Abstract: Ammonia formation was studied in a series of dedicated nitrogen seeded H-mode discharges at ASDEX Upgrade. The evolution of ammonia formation was investigated with a reference phase before the seeding, and a long, stable flat-top nitrogen-seeded phase. It was monitored with divertor spectroscopy and analysis of the exhaust gas. The amount of the detected ammonia increased continuously over the course of five discharges with the same nitrogen seeding rate. The same trend was observed in the nitrogen density in the core plasma, as measured by charge exchange recombination spectroscopy and other signals, linked to the effects of nitrogen seeding. The results show that the rate of ammonia formation exhibited the same trend as the nitrogen density in the plasma. This density, in turn, was strongly influenced by the nitrogen wall inventory. The spatial distribution of the detected ammonia suggests that a significant contribution to the net ammonia formation is made in plasma-shaded areas, through surface reactions of neutral species.

Abstract: We have investigated net and gross erosion of W in the outer strike-point (OSP) region of ASDEX Upgrade with the help of marker probes during low-density/high-temperature L-mode discharges. Post mortem analyses indicate net-erosion rates of 0.04-0.13 nm s-1, with the highest rates measured close to the OSP. Re-deposition was some 30-40% of gross erosion, which is lower than what has earlier been obtained spectroscopically (∼50-60%), possibly due to the special plasma conditions of our experiment and intense flux of W atoms originating from the main chamber. Gross erosion was also estimated by passive emission spectroscopy, and around the OSP the results matched with post mortem data. However, the spectroscopic erosion profile in the poloidal direction was much steeper than the post mortem one. Preliminary ERO simulations have predicted net erosion of the same order of magnitude as experimental results but reproducing the poloidal erosion/re-deposition profiles requires further work.

Abstract: The first stable completely detached H-mode plasma in the full tungsten ASDEX Upgrade has been achieved. Complete detachment of both targets is induced by nitrogen seeding into the divertor. Two new phases are added to the detachment classification described in Potzel et al (2014 Nucl. Fusion 54 013001): first, the line integrated density increases by about 15% with partial detachment of the outer divertor. Second, complete detachment of both targets is correlated to the appearance of intense, strongly localized, stable radiation at the X-point. Radiated power fractions, frad, increase from about 50% to 85% with nitrogen seeding. X-point radiation is accompanied by a loss of pedestal top plasma pressure of about 60%. However, the core pressure at ?pol?0.7 changes only by about 10%. H98?=?0.8?1.0 is observed during detached operation. With nitrogen seeding the edge-localized mode (ELM) frequency increases from the 100?Hz range to a broadband distribution at 1?2?kHz with a large reduction in ELM size.

44. Study of near SOL decay lengths in ASDEX Upgrade under attached and detached divertor conditions

Abstract: A database with attached, partially detached and completely detached divertors has been constructed in ASDEX Upgrade discharges in both H-mode and L-mode plasmas with Thomson Scattering data suitable for the analysis of the upstream SOL electron profiles. By comparing upstream temperature decay width, with the scaling of the SOL power decay width, based on the downstream IR measurements, it is found that a simple relation based on classical electron conduction can relate and well. The combined dataset can be described by both a single scaling and a separate scaling for H-modes and L-modes. For the single scaling, a strong inverse dependence of, on the separatrix temperature, is found, suggesting the classical parallel Spitzer–Harm conductivity as dominant mechanism controlling the SOL width in both L-mode and H-mode over a large set of plasma parameters. This dependence on explains why, for the same global plasma parameters, in L-mode is approximately twice that in H-mode and under detached conditions, the SOL upstream electron profile broadens when the density reaches a critical value. Comparing the derived scaling from experimental data with power balance, gives the cross-field thermal diffusivity as consistent with earlier studies on Compass-D, JET and Alcator C-Mod. However, the possibility of the separate scalings for different regimes cannot be excluded, which gives results similar to those previously reported for the H-mode, but here the wider SOL width for L-mode plasmas is explained simply by the larger premultiplying coefficient. The relative merits of the two scalings in representing the data and their theoretical implications are discussed.

Abstract: The divertor solutions obtained with the plasma edge modelling tool SOLPS5.0 are discussed. The code results are benchmarked against carefully analysed L-mode discharges at various density levels with and without impurity seeding in the full-metal tokamaks ASDEX Upgrade and JET. The role of the cross-field drifts and currents in the solutions is analysed in detail, and the improvements achieved by fully activating the drift and current terms in view of matching the experimental signals are addressed. The persisting discrepancies are also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: Experimental evidence for the impact of a region of high density localised in the high-field side scrape-off layer (the HFSHD) on plasma confinement is shown in various dedicated experiments on ASDEX Upgrade (AUG). Increasing main ion fuelling is shown to increase the separatrix density and shift the density profile outwards. Predictive pedestal modelling of this shift indicates a 25% decrease in the attainable pedestal top pressure, which compares well with experimental observations in the gas scan. Since the HFSHD can be mitigated by applying nitrogen seeding, a combined scan in fuelling rate, heating power, and nitrogen seeding is presented. Significant increases in the achievable pedestal top pressure are observed with seeding, in particular at high heating powers, and are correlated with inward shifted density profiles and a reduction of the HFSHD and separatrix density. Interpretive linear stability analysis also confirms the impact of a radially shifted pressure profile on peeling-ballooning stability, with an inward shift allowing access to higher pressure gradients and pedestal widths.

48. Disruption mitigation by injection of small quantities of noble gas in ASDEX Upgrade.

Abstract: The most recent experiments of disruption mitigation by massive gas injection in ASDEX Upgrade have concentrated on small—relatively to the past—quantities of noble gas injected, and on the search for the minimum amount of gas necessary for the mitigation of the thermal loads on the divertor and for a significant reduction of the vertical force during the current quench. A scenario for the generation of a long-lived runaway electron beam has been established; this allows the study of runaway current dissipation by moderate quantities of argon injected. This paper presents these recent results and discusses them in the more general context of physical models and extrapolation, and of the open questions, relevant for the realization of the ITER disruption mitigation system.

49. Making ICRF power compatible with a high-Z wall in ASDEX Upgrade.

Abstract: A comparison of the ASDEX Upgrade 3-strap ICRF antenna data with the linear electro-magnetic TOPICA calculations is presented. The comparison substantiates a reduction of the local electric field at the radially protruding plasma-facing elements of the antenna as a relevant approach for minimizing tungsten (W) sputtering in conditions when the slow wave is strongly evanescent. The measured reaction of the time-averaged RF current at the antenna limiters to the antenna feeding variations is less sensitive than predicted by the calculations. This is likely to have been caused by temporal and spatial fluctuations in the 3D plasma density distribution affected by local non-linear interactions. The 3-strap antenna with the W-coated limiters produces drastically less W sputtering compared to the W-coated 2-strap antennas. This is consistent with the non-linear asymptotic SSWICH-SW calculations for RF sheaths. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

50. The role of carbon and nitrogen on the H-mode confinement in ASDEX Upgrade with a metal wall.

Abstract: Carbon (CD4) and nitrogen (N2) have been seeded in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) with a tungsten wall and have both led to a 20–30% confinement improvement. The reference plasma is a standard target plasma with Ip /BT = 1 MA/2.5 T, total input power Ptot ~ 12 MW and normalized pressure of βN ~ 1.8. Carbon and nitrogen are almost perfectly exchangeable for the core, pedestal and divertor plasma in this experiment where impurity concentrations of C and N of 2% are achieved and Zeff only mildly increases from ~1.3 to ~1.7. As the radiation potentials of C and N are similar and peak well below 100 eV, both impurities act as divertor radiators and radiate well outside the pedestal region. The outer divertor is purposely kept in an attached state when C and N are seeded to avoid confinement degradation by detachment. As reported in earlier publications for nitrogen, carbon is also seen to reduce the high field side high density (the so-called HFSHD) in the scrape off layer above the inner divertor strike point by about 50%. This is accompanied by a confinement improvement for both low (δ ~ 0.25) and high (δ ~ 0.4) triangularity configurations for both seeding gases, due to an increase of pedestal temperature and stiff core temperature profiles. The electron density profiles show no apparent change due to the seeding. As an orthogonal effect, increasing the triangularity leads to an additionally increased pedestal density, independent of the impurity seeding. This experiment further closes the gap in understanding the confinement differences observed in carbon and metal wall devices; the absence of carbon can be substituted by nitrogen which leads to a similar confinement benefit. So far, no definite physics explanation for the confinement enhancement has been obtained, but the experimental observations in this paper provide input for further model development.
