8 spherical tokamak Typical Discharge
9 UNIST OUTLINE spherical tokamak Preliminary result Remained questions
10 Preliminary result Typical discharge of ECR startup Microwave: P out < 100kW, t pulse ~ 30 ms, f = 2.45 GHz background pressure ~ Pascal hydrogen pressure ~ Pascal during discharge
11 Preliminary result Discharge with a group of plasma current peaks
12 Preliminary result Dependence of plasma current on vertical field
13 Preliminary result Electrode arrangement
14 Preliminary result Typical discharge with electrode assistance
15 Preliminary result Plasma current counteracted by electrode current
16 Preliminary result One special discharge with electrode assistance
17 Preliminary result Performances of preliminary ECR current startup Plasma current is just spikes ~ hundreds millisecond of bottom width when the plasma existed during wave injecting from the lightening signal. The dependence of driven I P on vertical field is consistent with the toroidal plasma current by vertical field drift effect in ECR plasma. I P could increase above 10% (Fig. 7) in co-direction, I P would be counteracted more obviously (Fig.8), in counterdirection with electrode discharge assistance. We obtained one special discharge that the currents of plasma and electrode are cutoff and extended to wave timescale.
18 UNIST OUTLINE spherical tokamak Preliminary result Remained questions
19 Remained questions Remained questions This kind of plasma current spike is impossible to develop to typical ST plasma current. It is necessary to rearrange launch system of microwave for better coupling to plasma.
20 Remained questions Remained questions The discharge shown in Fig. 9 suggests that there is a discharge regime with no limitations of density cut off on ECR current startup and I i-sat with electrode discharge assistance. The questions are why this regime exists and how to find it for developing it from occasional event to reproducible discharge.
21 Remained questions Remained questions In preliminary experiments, the background pressure of vacuum vessel increased from less than Pascal up to a balanced value, ~ Pascal. Driven plasma current decreased with the increase of background pressure just like to scan fuelling gas to higher pressure. It is necessary to control wall condition for further experiments.
