Laser blow-off atomic beams as a tool for tokamak diagnostics

  • 1. Forschungszentrum Juelich GmbH (Germany). Inst. fuer Plasmaphysik

Description

The laser blow-off method for injecting atoms into a tokamak plasma provides information about a number of plasma parameters. The injection of medium- and high-Z atoms allows the determination of global transport properties (e.g. diffusion coefficients, radial and toroidal plasma velocities), whereas low-Z atoms like lithium, carbon, and sodium are used to measure local electron density and temperature profiles at the location of injection. Methods and results with the laser blow-off technique as a diagnostic tool are described and presented. (author) 14 refs.; 4 figs.; 1 tab
