The TJ-II stellarator is equipped with a unique diagnostic system - Dual HIBP, consisting of two HIBPs separated toroidally <ref>A. MELNIKOV, A.V. et al., Heavy ion beam probing - Diagnostics to study potential and turbulence in toroidal plasmas, Nuclear Fusion 57 (2017) 072004.</ref>. On top of the conventional measurements of the mean value of the plasma electrostatic potential φ, the dual HIBP in TJ-II is capable to measure oscillations of the potential, electron density, magnetic potential and Long Range Correlations as a proxy of Zonal Flows. The HIBP technique turned out to be applicable for measuring several other important plasma quantities too the radial ExB turbulent particle flux. | |||
The goal of this proposal is to investigate the limits of HIBP ExB turbulent transport measurements in the TJ-II stellarator. The experimental strategy will include comparative studies of HIBP and Langmuir probe diagnostics with to goals: | |||
a) Investigation of the poloidal phase velocity of fluctuations using plasma density and plasma potential measurements: HIBP vs probe measurements. | |||
b) Investigation of ExB turbulent transport: HIBP vs probe measurements | |||
