摘要:

局部阿尔芬波(LAW)共振在托卡马克等离子体中由外部驱动的磁场激发,频率低于离子回旋频率,其中假设使用阿尔芬波。最近,在TCABR(Bt =1.1T,q 0 =1.1,n 0 =1.4-2.0 × 10^{19}/ m^3)中,利用固定频率(32.4GHz)的O模反射计,在几kW功率沉积和4 MHz频率下,在LAW共振m=+/-1,N=+/-2处检测到了波驱动的密度起伏。在这里,我们表明,结合小功率沉积在LAW共振,扫过等离子体密度变化或扫描与发生器频率,结合检测的密度波动的LAW共振反射计可以作为诊断工具,用于识别的有效离子质量数AEF和q-分布在托卡马克。该方法是基于同时探测托卡马克中M/N=+/-1/+/-2天线模激发的m=+/-1局部AW共振和极向模耦合效应产生的m=0局部AW共振的位置。根据LAW色散,m=0共振仅取决于有效离子质量数,而不取决于q分布。然后,使用这些数据,我们可以定义m=+/-1 L AW共振位置处的q值。使用具有偶数环形模式(N=2,4,.)在0.6 ~ 1 MHz频段内,利用该方法对欧洲联合环(Bt=2.3T,q 0 =1 ~ 1.3,n 0 =5-7 × 10 ~(19)/m^3)进行了计算。

英文摘要:

Local Alfven wave (LAW) resonances are excited in tokamak plasmas by an externally driven electro-magnetic field, with the frequency below the ion cyclotron frequency, where using of the Alfven waves is assumed. Recently, wave driven density fluctuations at the LAW resonance m=+/-1, N=+/-2 with few kW power deposition and 4 MHz frequency were detected in TCABR (Bt =1.1T, q0 =1.1, n0=1.4-2.0 10^{19}/ m^3) using a fixed frequency (32.4GHz) O-mode reflectometer. Here, we show that combination of small power deposition in LAW resonances, swept by plasma density variation or scanned with generator frequencies, in combination with detection of the density fluctuations in the LAW resonances by reflectometry can serve as diagnostic tool for identification of the effective ion mass number Aef and q-profile in tokamaks. The idea is based on the simultaneous detection of the position of m=+/-1 local AW resonances, which are excited by M/N=+/-1/+/-2 antenna modes, and m=0 generated by poloidal mode coupling effect in tokamaks. According to LAW dispersion, the m=0 resonance depends only on the effective ion mass number and does not depend on the q-profile. Then, using these data we can define q-value at the position of m=+/-1 L AW resonances. Using TAE coils with even toroidal modes (N=2, 4,..) and AW generator in the frequency band 0.6-1 MHz, an application of this method to Joint European Torus (Bt=2.3T, q0 =1-1.3, n0=5-7 10^19/m^3) is demonstrated.
