Current Status of DNB and CXRS on HT-7 DNB team 2011-05-07
Overview • Introduction of DNB and CXRS • Current status • Problems and potential solutions • Experimental Results • Ohmic discharge • LHCD discharge • Conclusions
DNB status • Stable and reliable – HV power supply, Ion source, neutralizer, cryogenic pump, vacuum • Can operate on each plasma discharge if the rest time is sufficiently long • System capability • HV: 43~45kV; • Extracted beam current: 4.5 – 5.5A; • Full energy H component: ~20% • Information on beam power profile and beam divergence angle NOT available
DNB status DNB #13749
CXRS status • CX signal of carbon C-VI (n=8->7) transition at 529.1nm in second order • McPherson 207 spectrometer • 1200g/mm, Resolution: 0.03nm/331.3nm, Dispersion: 1.24nm/mm • New Princeton Instrument ProEM EMCCD • 512*512 (16*16um); 95% peak Q.E.; Adjustable gain of electron multiplication for low-intensity lights(1-1000) • Problem: very small change in CXR signal with DNB injection • Solution: two discharges with nearly identical parameters • One without DNB injection to be used as background signal • A large EM avalanche gain for signal enhancement (100)
Ohmic discharge • HV=45kV, Ibeam=5.5A
Ohmic discharge • HV=45kV, Ibeam=5.5A
LHCD discharge • HV=43kV, Ibeam=4.9A
Conclusions • DNB & CXRS are working properly • Use two-identical-shot technique and a large EM gain to improve signal strength • May contain relatively large uncertainty • Potential improvement • Beam quality (Full energy H fraction, HV, Ibeam, beam focusing) • Use CCD’s larger EM gain (larger noise) • Plasma parameter (higher ne?) • More experiments under ICRF heated discharges
Thank you all & Have a nice day!
