Plasma Stability Evaluation Based on MHD Activity and Hard X-Ray Emission in the IR-T1 Tokamak

摘要

Determinations of the poloidal beta, internal inductance, plasma energy, plasma pressure, plasma temperature, plasma resistance, plasma effective atomic number, magneto-hydrodynamics (MHD) activity, Runaway electrons energy and energy confinement time are essential for tokamak experiments and optimized operation. Also some of the plasma information can be deduced from these parameters, such as plasma toroidal current profile, and MHD instabilities. In this contribution we investigated about measurements of some plasma parameters as well as MHD activity and Runaway electrons energy. For this purpose we used the magnetic diagnostics and a hard X-ray spectroscopy in IR-T1 tokamak. A hard X-ray emission is produced by collision of the Runaway electrons with the plasma particles or limiters. The mean energy was calculated from the slope of the energy spectrum of hard X-ray photons. In this paper in order to measure energy of the Runaway electrons, we obtained hard X-ray energy in every 5 ms intervals, from the beginning to the end of plasma. Results indicated mean energy of Runaway electrons is maximum during the 0-5 ms interval.
