摘要:

本文对M. Usoltceva等人2022年发表于《Rev. Sci. Instrum.》第93卷013502页的理论研究中首次提出的一种新型微波诊断技术开展了实验验证。为突出该技术与干涉测量法的差异,本文采用了新的命名:强度折射测量法(intensity refractometry)。该诊断技术可测量电子密度,本研究将其应用于托卡马克边缘区域。\n该技术在ASDEX Upgrade装置上的实现系统被称为限制器阴影区微波强度折射计(Microwave Intensity refractometer in the Limiter Shadow, MILS),为该诊断概念提供了首个实验证明。研究将MILS测得的密度预测值与其他多种诊断手段的结果进行了对比,分析了密度剖面不同径向区域的一致性与差异,并讨论了可能的原因。示例放电实验显示该技术覆盖的密度范围较广,限制器位置处的密度范围为2×10^17 m^-3至2×10^19 m^-3。在这些实验中,测量的径向位置范围从限制器前方5 cm处(可测量到分界面内侧最多1 cm处)延伸至限制器阴影区内3 cm处。本文还介绍了MILS运行和数据处理过程中面临的实验挑战。

英文摘要:

Experimental validation is presented for a new type of microwave diagnostic, first introduced in the theoretical study in M. Usoltceva et al., Rev. Sci. Instrum. 93, 013502 (2022). A new term is adopted for this technique to highlight its difference from interferometry: intensity refractometry. The diagnostic allows measuring electron density, and in this work, it is applied at the edge of a tokamak. The implementation of this technique at ASDEX Upgrade, called Microwave Intensity refractometer in the Limiter Shadow (MILS), provides the first experimental proof of the diagnostic concept. Densities predicted by MILS are compared to several other diagnostics. The agreement and discrepancy in various radial regions of the density profile are analyzed and possible reasons are discussed. A wide density coverage is shown in the example discharges with densities from 2*10^17 m^-3 to 2*10^19 m^-3 at the limiter position. In these experiments, the radial location of the measurements varied from 5 cm in front of the limiter (up to 1 cm inside the separatrix was measured) to 3 cm in the limiter shadow. Experimental challenges of MILS operation and data processing are presented.
