Measurements of divertor impurity concentrations on DIII-D

摘要

Carbon emissions in the DIII-D divertor during partial detachment have been measured, and the deduced radiated power and the temporal behavior of the impurity emissions from spectroscopy are in good agreement with bolometer measurements. Effective electron temperatures from line ratios for CIV (9-11 eV) and CIII (6-8 eV) are correlated with DTS measured electron temperatures to determine the spatial location of the carbon radiation zone. During PDD operation, the bulk of the divertor radiation is emitted from CIV near the X- point while deuterium radiation is strongest near the outer strikepoint. The carbon ion concentrations are in the range of 1% - 4% of the electron density.
