Effect of recycling in the HL-1M tokamak

  • 1. Southwestern Inst. of Physics, Chengdu (China)

Description

Tokamak plasma discharge disruption at high density is investigated. The instability analysis on model indicates that the disruption is resulted from the energy loss arising from hydrogen recycling on the edge of the plasma. This energy loss could lead to a contraction of the current channel and the production of a disruptively unstable configuration. Using a simple model we shall investigate the implications of recycling for disruptions. The critical high-density n≤1.6 x 1020 m-3 is reached in HL-1M. (author)
