Book Description
Charge exchange interactions of alpha particles with the ablation cloud surrounding an injected carbon pellet can be used to measure the energy spectrum of the incident fast confined alpha particles in a fusion plasma. Measurement of helium neutrals from He{sup 2+} + C{sup 4+} --> He° + C{sup 6+} interactions appears to be the most attractive option. This paper describes progress on developing this diagnostic including measurements during pellet injection into the TEXT tokamak. 14 refs., 2 figs.

Alpha Particle Diagnostics Using Impurity Pellet Injection

Book Description
We have proposed using impurity injection to measure the energy distribution of the fast confined alpha particles in a reacting plasma. The ablation cloud surrounding the injected pellet is thick enough that an equilibrium fraction F{sub o}{sup {infinity}}(E) of the incident alphas should be neutralized as they pass through the cloud. By observing neutrals created in the large spatial region of the cloud which is expected to be dominated by the helium-like ionization state, e.g., Li ions, we can determine the incident alpha distribution dn{sub He}2+/dE from the measured energy distribution of neutral helium atoms. Initial experiments were performed on TEXT in which we compared pellet penetration with our impurity pellet ablation model, and measured the spatial distribution of various ionization states in carbon pellet clouds. Experiments have recently begun on TFTR with the goal of measuring the alpha particle energy distribution during D-T operation in 1993--94. A series of preliminary experiments are planned to test the diagnostic concept. The first experiments will observe neutrals from beam-injected deuterium ions and the high energy 3He tail produced during ICH minority heating on TFTR interacting with the cloud. We will also monitor by line radiation the charge state distributions in lithium, boron, and carbon clouds.
