  5. SMBI Has Extended Operational Regime • The stored energy reached Wp~4.5 kJ for ECH(~0.35 MW)+NBI(~0.6 MW), about 50% higher than that of conventional gas-puff fueling. • The optimization study of SMBI-relevant operation scenario is in progress.

  6. NBI Plasmas Have Been Successfully Started Up By Assist of 2.45GHz 5kW Microwaves • Plasmas of ne=1x1019 m-3 have been successfully produced 20msec after NBI turn-on with assistance of 2.45GHz 5kW microwaves • No high-power ECH is applied • Plasma startup without ECH widely will extend the operation region • High β experiment • B dependence of confinement • B dependence of high-energy particles • Extension of configuration • Off-axis 70GHz ECH Kobayashi, Nucl.

  7. No density build-up Production of Low-Density Plasma and High-Energy Electrons by 2.45GHz Microwaves is Important • There is no EC resonance for 2.45GHz microwaves • Plasma is successfully started up when ECE intensity exceeds a critical value

  8. Objective for Construction new Nd:YAGThomson • Previous experiments show the improved confinements phenomena accompany with the transient phenomena. The plasma profile is rapidly changed by the transition. • Therefore, the time evolution of the plasma profile should be measured to understand the physics of the improved confinement. • For this purpose, we are developing new Nd:YAG Thomson scattering system for Heliotron J device.

  9. Design of Heliotron J Nd:YAG Thomson system • Goal: Performance • Spatial resolution ~1cm • Spatial channels : 25 • Time intervals of measurement ~10ms (Period of discharge ~200ms,confinement time~1-10ms) • Range of Te10eV-10keV • Range of ne>0.5x1019m-3 • Nd:YAG Laser spec • 100Hz (50Hz two lasers), 550mJ 10ns pulse by Continuum.inc. • We have a future plan to improve time interval to ~5ms (2 lasers->4 lasers)

  12. Solid angle and aberration • Large solid angle: 0.08-0.1str.=>Considerable scattered light can be collected • Back scattered light is small due to small backward region.=>Good S/N ratio • Aberration (<3mm) is small due to larger F number (Fiber width ~3mm) • It is easy to choose optical fiber, because required fiber NA(numerical aperture) is >0.25. • Uniform optical characteristic for all spatial points >80mstr <3mm ~0.25
