| In previous experiments of impurity confinement in TJ-II plasmas we have investigated the behaviour of impurity confinement with the mass composition of the main ions and with charge/mass of the injected impurities [1]. Now we want to extend our study to He plasmas.
| |
| | |
| Proposal.
| |
| Within the present proposal, we plan to inject light and heavy impurities into TJ-II ECRH plasmas by means of laser blow-off. We plan to study the behaviour of impurity confinement with the charge/mass of the main ions on the relaxation of emission of light and heavy impurities injected in TJ-II. For that purpose we want discharges in He and study the impurity confinement as a function of effective mass.

| * Essential diagnostic systems: Main diagnostics will be radiation diagnostics (bolometers, X-rays, VUV spectrometer, etc.) and ECR radiometer data as well as other diagnostics with good time resolution. | | * Essential diagnostic systems: |

| * Specific requirements on wall conditioning if any: | | * Specific requirements on wall conditioning if any: |
| 1. We want discharges in He in order to study the impurity confinement as a function of effective mass.
| | * External users: need a local computer account for data access: yes/no |

| 2. We need discharges with solely ECRH and good control with constant density along discharges. Lower densities appear to give more stable target plasmas; however, we wish plasma electron densities that are sufficiently high to ensure good Thomson scattering profiling of the target plasma.
