摘要:

在下一代高占空比聚变功率实验中,磁约束等离子体边界区域普遍存在大幅度的间歇性波动,并导致有害的等离子体-壁相互作用。利用Alcator C-Mod装置中刮除层的喷气成像数据时间序列,证明了大幅度波动可以描述为具有固定形状和恒定持续时间的脉冲的叠加。通过对具有双边指数脉冲函数的数据时间序列应用一种新的反卷积算法,可以估计脉冲的到达时间和幅度,并且可以高精度地重建测量时间序列。脉冲幅度被示出为遵循指数分布。脉冲之间的等待时间是不相关的,它们的分布具有指数尾,到达的数量是时间的线性函数。这表明,脉冲到达遵循齐次泊松过程。相同的统计特性适用于欧姆和高约束模式等离子体,清楚地表明在边界区域的Alcator C-Mod的波动统计的普遍性。

英文摘要:

Large-amplitude, intermittent fluctuations are ubiquitous in the boundary region of magnetically confined plasmas and lead to detrimental plasma-wall interactions in the next-generation, high duty cycle fusion power experiments. Using gas puff imaging data time series from the scrape-off layer in the Alcator C-Mod device, it is here demonstrated that the large-amplitude fluctuations can be described as a super-position of pulses with fixed shape and constant duration. By applying a new deconvolution algorithm on the data time series with a two-sided exponential pulse function, the arrival times and amplitudes of the pulses can be estimated and the measurement time series can be reconstructed with high accuracy. The pulse amplitudes are shown to follow an exponential distribution. The waiting times between pulses are uncorrelated, their distribution has an exponential tail, and the number of arrivals is a linear function of time. This demonstrates that pulse arrivals follow a homogeneous Poisson process. Identical statistical properties apply to both ohmic and high confinement mode plasmas, clearly demonstrating universality of the fluctuation statistics in the boundary region of Alcator C-Mod.
