Abstract

Radiation transport simulations of the deuterium Lyman line series using EIRENE predict a factor of 2 increase of Balmer-

α

emission in the JET-ILW low confinement divertor plasmas in high-recycling and detached conditions caused by the re-absorption of Lyman-

β

emission. The photon tracing model in the EIRENE code is applied to SOLPS-ITER pure deuterium plasma solutions of JET-ILW to evaluate the contribution of Lyman-

β

capture towards the population density of D(

p = 3

) and, consequently, the Balmer-

α

emission. The local population escape factors of Lyman-

α

and Lyman-

β

lines in the JET-ILW divertor show steep spatial gradients and indicate local regions with high opacity in high-recycling and detached conditions. The relative contribution of Lyman-

β

capture towards the population density of D(

p = 3

) is significant in high-recycling and detached conditions. This observation is further corroborated by line-integrated calculations using Balmer-

α

diagnostic line-of-sights.

高循环和分离条件下托卡马克分流器等离子体中的莱曼线不透明性

利用 EIRENE 对氘莱曼线系列进行的辐射传输模拟预测，在高循环和分离条件下，JET-ILW 低约束分流器等离子体中的 Balmer-α 发射将增加 2 倍，这是由于莱曼-β 发射的再吸收造成的。将 EIRENE 代码中的光子追踪模型应用于 JET-ILW 的 SOLPS-ITER 纯氘等离子体溶液，以评估莱曼-β 捕获对 D(p=3) 种群密度的贡献，以及因此对巴尔默-α 发射的贡献。在 JET-ILW 分流器中，Lyman-α 和 Lyman-β 线的局域群逸散因子显示出陡峭的空间梯度，表明在高循环和分离条件下，局域具有高不透明度。在高循环和分离条件下，Lyman-β俘获对D(p=3)群密度的相对贡献很大。利用巴尔默-α诊断视线进行的线积分计算进一步证实了这一观测结果。
