Progress Report on PISCES: Plasma-Surface Interactions and Materials Research, July 1987

摘要

This report briefly summarizes the status of the current PISCES experiments and near term plans for research by the PISCES Group in the areas of enhanced pumping of neutral gases by graphite, hydrogen recycling from activated graphite surfaces, erosion of graphite, new diagnostics for in-situ monitoring of erosion yield, pump limiter experiments, spectroscopy and diagnostic development. Experimental equipment includes the existing PISCES facility, AES/SIMS surface analysis facility, PISCES-B, which is now under construction, and experimental probes being developed for use in the Continuous Current Tokamak (CCT). 12 refs.
