Recently,a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopic(LIBS) system has been developed for in situ measurements of the chemical compositions of plasma facing materials(PFMs)in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST).In this study,a LIBS system,which was used in a similar optical configuration to the in situ LIBS system in EAST,has been developed to investigate the spatial distribution of PFM elements at 1CP4 Pa.The aim of this study was to understand the nature of the spatial distribution of atoms or ions of different elements in the plasma plume and optimize the signal to background ratio for the in situ LIBS diagnosis in EAST.The spatial profiles of the LIBS signals of C,Si,Mo and the continuous background were measured.Moreover,the influence of laser spot size and laser energy density on the LIBS signals of C,Si,Mo and H was also investigated.The results show that the distribution of the C,Si and Mo peaks' intensities first increased and then decreased from the center to the edge of the plasma plume.There was a maximum value at R≈1.5 mm from the center of the plasma plume.This work aims to improve the understanding of ablating plasma dynamics in very low pressure environments and give guidance to optimize the LIBS system in the EAST device. 相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) is a powerful analytical tool for realtime diagnostics and detection of multiple elements deposited at the first wall of magnetically confined plasma fusion devices. Recently,we have tested LIBS in our laboratory for application to in situ real-time diagnostics in the fusion device EAST. In this study,we applied polarizationresolved LIBS(PR-LIBS) to reduce the background continuum and enhance the resolution and sensitivity of LIBS. We used aluminium(Al)(as a substitute for Be) and the first wall materials tungsten(W) and molybdenum(Mo) to investigate polarized continuum emission and signal-tobackground ratio(SBR). A Nd:YAG laser with first,second and third harmonics was used to produce plasma. The effects of the laser polarization plane,environmental pressure and polarizer detection angle were investigated. The spectra obtained without using a polarizer(i.e. LIBS)were compared with those obtained with a polarizer(PR-LIBS). Distribution of emission spectral intensity was observed to follow Malus' law with respect to variation in the angle of detection of the polarizer. The spectra obtained by PR-LIBS had a higher SBR and greater stability than those obtained by LIBS,thereby enhancing the reliability of LIBS for quantitative analyses.A comparison of Al,Mo and W showed that W exhibited a higher continuum with stronger polarization than the low-Z elements. 相似文献

Tungsten is under consideration for use as a plasma-facing material in the divertor region of ITER. Lithiation can significantly improve plasma performance in long-pulse tokamaks like EAST. The investigation of lithiated tungsten is important for understanding the lithium conditioning effects for EAST, where tungsten will be used as a plasma-facing material. In this paper, a few important issues of lithiated tungsten interacting with high-flux deuterium plasma have been studied, such as the effect of lithiation on deuterium retention, the profile of elemental distribution, and the chemical state of lithiated tungsten. Deuterium retention inside both pure and lithiated tungsten has been investigated for the first time in the linear plasma simulator Magnum-PSI by in-situ laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS). The results indicate that, after deuterium plasma exposure, deuterium retention could be saturated in the lithiation layer, and the lithium in the lithiated layer is chemically bound with deuterium. Moreover, the lithiation can inhibit the blistering on the tungsten surface. These results can be valuable for the application of LIBS as a diagnostic technique for plasma-facing components of tokamaks. 相似文献

This paper introduces the first results of deuterium retention on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) using particle balance.In the fall 2010 EAST experiments with a full graphite wall,the average deuterium retention fraction was about 19% (including disruptive shots) and 38% (not including disruptive shots).Fuel retention for the short-and long-pulse discharge was different.The H-mode discharges had a slightly lower fuel retention than the L-mode discharges.However,it was observed that disruptions introduced outgassing from the wall.Wall conditioning,such as lithium coating,increases retention. 相似文献

The occurrence of several plasma-wall interaction processes, eventually affecting the overall system performances, is expected in a working fusion device chamber. Monitoring the changes in the composition of the plasma facing component (PFC) surface layer, as a result of erosion and redeposition mechanisms, can provide useful information on the possible plasma pollution and fuel retention. To this aim, suitable diagnostic techniques able to perform depth profiling analysis of the superficial layers on the PFCs have been developed. Due to the constraints commonly found in fusion devices, the measuring apparatus must be non invasive, remote and sensitive to light elements. These requirements make LIBS (Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy) an ideal candidate for on-line monitoring the walls of current and of next generation (as ITER) fusion devices. LIBS is a well established tool for qualitative, semi-quantitative and quantitative analysis of surfaces, with micro-destructive characteristics and some capabilities for stratigraphy.In this work, LIBS depth profiling capability has been verified for the determination of the composition of multilayer structures simulating plasma facing components covered with deposited impurity layers. A new experimental setup has been designed and realized in order to optimize the characteristics of a LIBS system working in vacuum conditions and remotely, two noticeable properties for an ITER-relevant diagnostics.A quantitative analysis has been carried out in determining the elemental composition of the ITER-like samples. 相似文献

Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS) has been developed to in situ diagnose the chemical compositions of the first wall in the EAST tokamak. However, the dynamics of optical emission of the key plasma-facing materials, such as tungsten, molybdenum and graphite have not been investigated in a laser produced plasma(LPP) under vacuum. In this work, the temporal and spatial dynamics of optical emission were investigated using the spectrometer with ICCD.Plasma was produced by an Nd:YAG laser(1064 nm) with pulse duration of 6 ns. The results showed that the typical lifetime of LPP is less than 1.4 μs, and the lifetime of ions is shorter than atoms at ~10~(-6)mbar. Temporal features of optical emission showed that the optimized delay times for collecting spectra are from 100 to 400 ns which depended on the corresponding species. For spatial distribution, the maximum LIBS spectral intensity in plasma plume is obtained in the region from 1.5 to 3.0 mm above the sample surface. Moreover, the plasma expansion velocity involving the different species in a multicomponent system was measured for obtaining the proper timing(gate delay time and gate width) of the maximum emission intensity and for understanding the plasma expansion mechanism. The order of expansion velocities for various species is V_C~+ V_H V_(Si)~+ V_(Li) V_(Mo) V_W.These results could be attributed to the plasma sheath acceleration and mass effect. In addition, an optimum signal-to-background ratio was investigated by varying both delay time and detecting position. 相似文献

Fuel retention measurement on plasma-facing components is an active field of study in magnetic confinement nuclear fusion devices.The laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy(LIBS)diagnostic method has been well demonstrated to detect the elemental distribution in PFCs.In this work,an upgraded co-axis LIBS system based on a linear fiber bundle collection system has been developed to measure the hydrogen(H) retention on a tantalum(Ta) sample under a vacuum condition.The spatial resolution measurement of the different positions of the LIBS plasma can be achieved simultaneously with varying delay times.The temporal and spatial evolution results of LIBS plasma emission show that the H plasma observably expands from the delay times of 0-200 ns.The diameter of Ta plasma is about 6 mm which is much less than the size of H plasma after 200 ns.The difference in the temporal and spatial evolution behaviors between H plasma and Ta plasma is due to the great difference in the atomic mass of H and Ta.The depth profile result shows that H retention mainly exists on the surface of the sample.The temporal and spatial evolution behaviors of the electron excited temperature are consistent with that of the Ta emission.The result will further improve the understanding of the evolution of the dynamics of LIBS plasma and optimize the current collection system of in situ LIBS in fusion devices. 相似文献

The steady fusion plasma operation is constrained by tungsten(W) material sputtering issue in the EAST tokamak. In this work, the suppression of W sputtering source has been studied by advanced wall conditionings. It is also concluded that the W sputtering yield becomes more with increasing carbon(C) content in the main deuterium(D) plasma. In EAST, the integrated use of discharge cleanings and lithium(Li) coating has positive effects on the suppression of W sputtering source. In the plasma recovery experiments, it is suggested that the W intensity is reduced by approximately 60% with the help of ~35 h Ion Cyclotron Radio Frequency Discharge Cleaning(ICRF-DC) and ~40 g Li coating after vacuum failure. The first wall covered by Li film could be relieved from the bombardment of energetic particles, and the impurity in the vessel would be removed through the particle induced desorption and isotope exchange during the discharge cleanings. In general, the sputtering yield of W would decrease from the source, on the bias of the improvement of wall condition and the mitigation of plasmawall interaction process. It lays important base of the achievement of high-parameter and longpulse plasma operation in EAST. The experiences also would be constructive for us to promote the understanding of relevant physics and basis towards the ITER-like condition. 相似文献

A new edge tangential multi-energy soft x-ray(ME-SXR) diagnostic with high temporal(≤ 0.1 ms) and spatial(~1 cm) resolution has been developed for a variety of physics topics studies in the EAST tokamak plasma. The fast edge electron temperature profile(approximately from r a~ 0.6 to the scrape-off layer) is investigated using ME-SXR diagnostic system. The data process was performed by the ideal ‘multi-foil' technique, with no priori assumptions of plasma profiles. Reconstructed ME-SXR emissivity profiles for a variety of EAST experimental scenarios are presented here for the first time. The applications of the ME-SXR for study of the effects of resonant magnetic perturbation on edge localized modes and the first time neon radiating divertor experiment in EAST are also presented in this work. It has been found that neon impurity can suppress the 2/1 tearing mode and trigger a 3/1 MHD mode. 相似文献

EAST is a non-circular advanced steady-state experimental device and the first entirely superconducting tokamak in the world. Vacuum system is one of the most important sub-systems of EAST device. Wall conditionings, such as baking, discharge cleaning and boronization, also play a very important role for the plasma operation. Due to Ion Cyclotron Resonance Frequency (ICRF) wall conditioning technique could be carried out in the presence of a high toroidal magnetic field, it is routinely used for wall cleanings on EAST. After the 2nd campaign in 2007, the plasma facing walls was modified to full carbon walls and vacuum system was upgraded to meet the requirement of particles exhaust. This paper will introduce the new statues of vacuum system, such as pumping, fueling and wall conditionings on EAST. Then the vacuum operation and wall conditioning in the 2008 campaign is introduced. 相似文献

The dominant wavelength range of edge impurity emissions moves from the visible range to the vacuum ultraviolet(VUV) range, as heating power increasing in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST). The measurement provided by the existing visible spectroscopies in EAST is not sufficient for impurity transport studies for high-parameters plasmas. Therefore, in this study, a VUV spectroscopy is newly developed to measure edge impurity emissions in EAST. One Seya-Namioka VUV spectrometer(McPherson 234/302) is used in the system, equipped with a concave-corrected holographic grating with groove density of 600 grooves mm~(–1). Impurity line emissions can be observed in the wavelength range ofλ=50–700 nm, covering VUV, near ultraviolet and visible ranges. The observed vertical range is Z=-350–350 mm. The minimum sampling time can be set to 5 ms under full vertical binning(FVB) mode. VUV spectroscopy has been used to measure the edge impurity emission for the 2019 EAST experimental campaign. Impurity spectra are identified for several impurity species, i.e., lithium(Li), carbon(C), oxygen(O), and iron(Fe). Several candidates for tungsten(W) lines are also measured but their clear identification is very difficult due to a strong overlap with Fe lines. Time evolutions of impurity carbon emissions of CII at 134.5 nm and CIII at97.7 nm are analyzed to prove the system capability of time-resolved measurement. The measurements of the VUV spectroscopy are very helpful for edge impurity transport study in the high-parameters plasma in EAST. 相似文献

Tritium exposure experiments were carried out for three kinds of EAST SiC coated doped-graphite (SiC/C) samples, one from the original graphite tiles without being irradiated, and the other two from erosion and deposition areas of first wall after the 2009 campaign in EAST. β-ray-induced X-ray spectrometry (BIXS) was used to characterize the exposed samples. It is showed that the significant amount of tritium was absorbed in the surface of deposition sample in comparison with that of original sample, which was also supported by the results of imaging plate (IP) measurements. In addition, it was found that drastic decrease in tritium retention appeared by lowering exposure temperature, and the trapped tritium was maintained stably with time. Computer simulation is used to analyze the details of depth profile of tritium in different kinds of samples. 相似文献

Stationary long pulse plasma of high electron temperature was produced on EAST for the first time through an integrated control of plasma shape,divertor heat flux,particle exhaust,wall conditioning,impurity management,and the coupling of multiple heating and current drive power.A discharge with a lower single null divertor configuration was maintained for 103 s at a plasma current of 0.4 MA,q_(95)≈7.0,a peak electron temperature of 4.5 keV,and a central density n_e(0)~2.5×10~(19) m~(-3).The plasma current was nearly non-inductive(V_(loop) 0.05 V,poloidal beta ~0.9) driven by a combination of 0.6 MW lower hybrid wave at 2.45 GHz,1.4 MW lower hybrid wave at 4.6 GHz,0.5 MW electron cyclotron heating at 140 GHz,and 0.4 MW modulated neutral deuterium beam injected at 60 kV.This progress demonstrated strong synergy of electron cyclotron and lower hybrid electron heating,current drive,and energy confinement of stationary plasma on EAST.It further introduced an example of integrated "hybrid" operating scenario of interest to ITER and CFETR. 相似文献

Disruptions are the most dangerous instabilities in tokamak plasma. During plasma disruption, the large amounts of energy will be deposited on Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) which is a damaging threat for the divertor target and the first wall materials. Therefore, studying the characteristic of heat deposition on the first wall is very significant. The Infrared (IR) camera is an effective tool to measure the surface temperature profile on the first wall on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). With a finite difference method, the heat flux arrived to the divertor can be calculated from the surface temperature. However, the surface layer on the divertor has a great influence on the calculation of the heat flux on the divertor. The numerical method for solving heat conduction for semi-infinite model is given in this paper. And the thermal resistance of surface layers is considered in this numerical method. In addition, the distribution of heat flux on the divertor during disruption is also shown. 相似文献

Extreme ultraviolet(EUV) spectra emitted from low-Z impurity ions in the wavelength range of10–500 ? were observed in Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST)discharges. Several spectral lines from K-and L-shell partially ionized ions were successfully observed with sufficient spectral intensities and resolutions for helium, lithium, boron, carbon,oxygen, neon, silicon and argon using two fast-time-response EUV spectrometers of which the spectral intensities are absolutely calibrated based on the intensity comparison method between visible and EUV bremsstrahlung continua. The wavelength is carefully calibrated using wellknown spectra. The lithium, boron and silicon are individually introduced for the wall coating of the EAST vacuum vessel to suppress mainly the hydrogen and oxygen influxes from the vacuum wall, while the carbon and oxygen intrinsically exist in the plasma. The helium is frequently used as the working gas as well as the deuterium. The neon and argon are also often used for the radiation cooling of edge plasma to reduce the heat flux onto the divertor plate. The measured spectra were analyzed mainly based on the database of National Institute of Standards and Technology. As a result, spectral lines of He Ⅱ, Li Ⅱ–Ⅲ, B Ⅳ–Ⅴ, C Ⅲ–Ⅵ, O Ⅲ–Ⅷ, Ne Ⅱ–Ⅹ,Si Ⅴ–Ⅻ, and Ar Ⅹ–XVI are identified in EAST plasmas of which the central electron temperature and chord-averaged electron density range in T_(e0)=0.6–2.8 keV and n_e=(0.5–6.0)×10~(19) m~(-3), respectively. The wavelengths and transitions of EUV lines identified here are summarized and listed in a table for each impurity species as the database for EUV spectroscopy using fusion plasmas. 相似文献

In the 2016 EAST experimental campaign,a steady-state long-pulse H-mode discharge with an ITER-like tungsten divertor lasting longer than one minute has been obtained using only RF heating and current drive,through an integrated control of the wall conditioning,plasma configuration,divertor heat flux,particle exhaust,impurity management,and effective coupling of multiple RF heating and current drive sources at high injected power.The plasma current (Ip ~ 0.45 MA) was fully-noninductively driven (Vloop < 0.0 V) by a combination of ~2.5 MW LHW,~0.4 MW ECH and ~0.8 MW ICRF.This result demonstrates the progress of physics and technology studies on EAST,and will benefit the physics basis for steady state operation of ITER and CFETR. 相似文献

Tokamak exhaust is an important part of the deuterium-tritium fuel cycle system in fusion reactions. In this work, we present a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS)-based method to monitor the gas compositions from the exhaust system in the tokamak device. Helium (He), a main impurity in the exhaust gas, was mixed with hydrogen (H2) in different ratios through a self-designed gas distribution system, and sealed into a measurement chamber as a standard specimen. A 532 nm wavelength laser pulse with an output power of 100 mJ was used for plasma excitation. The time-resolved LIBS is used to study the time evolution characteristics of the signal strength, signal-to-background ratio (SBR), signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and relative standard deviation (RSD) of the helium and hydrogen characteristic lines. The Boltzmann two-line method was employed to estimate the plasma temperature of laser-induced plasma (LIP). The Stark-broadened profile of He I 587.56 nm was exploited to measure the electron density. From these studies, an appropriate time was determined in which the low RSD% was consistent with the high signal-to-noise ratio. The He I 587.56 nm and Hα emission lines with good signal-to-noise ratio were extracted from the spectrum and used in the external standard method and internal standard method for quantitative analysis. The test results for mixed gas showed that the average relative error of prediction was less than 11.15%, demonstrating the great potential of LIBS in detecting impurities in plasma exhaust gas. 相似文献

Spectral measurement of tungsten (W) impurity is essential to study impurity transport.
Therefore, an X-ray crystal spectrometer (XCS) on EAST was used to measure the line spectra
from highly ionized W ions. On EAST, both poloidal XCS and tangential XCS have been
developed to measure the plasma temperature as well as the rotation velocity. Recently, He-like
and H-like argon spectra have also been obtained using a two-crystal setup. W lines are identified
in this study. Through a careful analysis, the W lines of 3.9336, 3.9321, and 3.664 Å are found to
be diffracted by He-like or H-like crystals. The lines are confirmed with the NIST database. We
also calculated the ion temperature with Doppler broadening of these lines. The ion temperature
from the W lines is entirely consistent with that from Ar line spectra. The measurement of these
W line spectra could be used to study W impurity transport in future work. 相似文献

Simulations of carbon impurity transport in SOL/divertor plasmas with Ohmic heating on EAST tokamak were performed using the two-dimensional(2D)Monte Carlo impurity transport code DIVIMP.The background plasmas for DIVIMP simulations were externally taken from B2.5/Eirene calculation.Besides the basic output of DIVIMP,the 2D density distributions of the carbon impurity with different ionization states and neutral carbon atoms were obtained,the2D distributions of CII and CIII emissivities from C+1and C+2radiation respectively were also calculated.Comparison between the measured and calculated CIII emissivities showed favorable agreement,indicating that the impurity physics transport models,as implemented in the DIVIMP code,are suitable for the EAST tokamak plasma condition. 相似文献

An ex-vessel loss of coolant accident (LOCA) in the first wall/shield blanket of a fusion reactor has been analyzed by a hybrid code consisting of plasma dynamics and heat transfer analysis of in-vessel components. We investigated possibility of passive plasma shutdown scenario during the accident in International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER). The safety analysis code which we developed can treat impurity concentration from the first wall and the divertor with a transport probability into the main plasma and a time delay given as input. It was found that the plasma is passively shutdown by a density limit disruption due to beryllium release from heated first wall surfaces about 168 seconds after the LOCA, when the transport probability of beryllium from the first wall into the plasma and the time delay were assumed to be 10?2 and the energy confinement time, respectively. At that time, the surface temperature of the outboard center (plasma facing component (PFC) with beryllium) and the temperature of the coolant tube in the first wall (stainless steel 316) reach about 1,120°C and about 1,080°C, respectively. Although the coolant tube does not melt, the copper heat sink between the PFC and the coolant tube melts before the passive shutdown. The heat sink of copper in the outboard baffle also melts before the passive shutdown, though the PFC surface of tungsten does not melt. Consequently, we have a possibility of passive plasma shutdown before the cooling tubes melt during the ex-LOCA of the first walllshield blanket in ITER, however, further studies are needed on the effects on plasma burn control, impurity release and emission of implanted D-T fuel. 相似文献
