Abstract
The fast ion loss detector (FILD) on the HL-3 tokamak was upgraded in the experiments of 2024 Q1. A new dual-collimator detector was designed to reduce self-shadow. The effect of the rotation angle of the detector on self-shadow was analysed in order to determine the appropriate rotation angle. By inverting the orbits of lost ions in a three-dimensional model incorporating the components of the vacuum chamber, the external-shadow of the detector was analysed, and then the appropriate position of the detector was determined. Based on the upgrade of the FILD system described above, fast ion losses induced by MHD instabilities such as fishbone and sawtooth were observed in the experiments of 2024 Q1.
