Motivation.
Enter description here <ref>A. Einstein, Journal of Exceptional Results (2017)</ref>
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.

== Description of required resources ==
== Description of required resources ==
Required resources:
Required resources:
* Number of plasma discharges or days of operation: We would need at least two operational days: one (compatible with other experiments) to adjust all the variables of the laser blow-off system and another day to perform the experiment. 
* Number of plasma discharges or days of operation:  
* 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:
* Type of plasmas (heating configuration): We need standard configuration plasmas (100_44_64).
* Type of plasmas (heating configuration):
* 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
 
* Any external equipment to be integrated? Provide description and integration needs:
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.
 
* External users: need a local computer account for data access: N
* Any external equipment to be integrated? Provide description and integration needs: N
