摘要
使用氖气的电子回旋加速器壁调节(Ne-ECWC)是在正常导电球形托卡马克 QUEST 上进行的,该托卡马克具有金属壁,在捕获粒子配置下具有混合 O 型和 X 型极化 EC 波,频率为 8.2 千兆赫,注入功率为 16 千瓦。氖-ECWC 从壁上去除氢气,但氖的残留量很小。Ne-ECWC 减少了后续托卡马克放电中的氢回收,有助于改善后续托卡马克等离子体的启动:等离子体电流增加,等离子体电流的启动时间提前。然而,暴露于 Ne-ECWC 等离子体的钨表面会形成空洞和气泡等缺陷。
Hydrogen removal by electron cyclotron wall conditioning with neon gas and its impact of tokamak plasma start-up on the QUEST spherical tokamak
Electron Cyclotron Wall Conditioning with Neon gas (Ne-ECWC) has been performed on the normal conducting spherial tokamak QUEST with metal walls under a trapped particle configuration with mixed O and X-mode polarization EC waves with a frequency of 8.2 GHz and an injection power of 16 kW. The Ne-ECWC removes hydrogen from the wall with small neon retention. The Ne-ECWC decreases hydrogen recycling at the following tokamak discharges, contributing to an improvement of the following tokamak plasma start-up: the plasma current increases and the start-up timing of the plasma current shifts forward. However, defects such as voids and bubbles are formed on tungsten surface exposed to the Ne-ECWC plasma.
