Research Abstract |
In fusion plasmas, fast ions interacting with fluctuations might cause redistributions and the serious damage to a first wall. Therefore it is required to experimentally investigate the correlation between the fluctuations and the fast ion behavior. For this purpose, we tried to establish high temporal sampling measurement in Fast Ion charge eXchange Spectroscopy(FICXS) which can simultaneously measure fast ion velocity distribution and its spatial profile. On the Large Helical Device(LHD), tangential viewing geometry for the FICXS diagnostic has been arranged to selectively measure passing particles which can easily interact with the fluctuation. A numerical simulation code for the evaluation of fast ion profiles based on the experimental observation has been developed. The velocity distribution and its density profile for the passing particle with energy less than 120keV/amu have been confirmed by the numerical analysis implemented with actual experimental condition, realistic atomic processes and optical effects. Finally, the charge exchange emission from reneutralized fast ions has been successfully observed by the high temporal measurement in the wavelength range where line intensities for the impurities are sufficiently low.
