TJ-II: impact of impurities on turbulence: Difference between revisions

In order to assess the impact of the injections in the plasma performance and turbulence monitors, monitoring the time the evolution of the electron and ion temperature (<math><T_e/math> and (<math><T_i/math>, respectively), as well as the diagmagnetic energy, will be essential. Ideally, <math><T_e/math> and <math><T_i/math> should be measured at a radial position near to the that with largest impurity concentration and strongest impurity density gradient. If that information cannot be experimentally determined, a position from the inner core and mid-plasma radius will be chosen. Doppler Reflectometry fluctuation measurements radial profiles will be necessary in order to assess the changes in the amplitude of the turbulent density fluctuations after the impurity injections. For modeling purposes, Thomson Scattering electron density (<math>n_e</math>) and temperature profiles shall be measured at a time instant of the discharge. Whenever available, a <math><T_i/math> radial profiles will be highly valuable.
