3 Key Results 1 Key Results Argon level is strongly reduced with ICRF in H D plasmas. Argon pumpout effect is maximal at n H /n D 42±5%. Argon pumpout effect has a MW ICRF power threshold. Molybdenum injection is coupled with argon pumpout. Impurity-wave interaction and edge effects are possible mechanisms. C Gao etc., MIT-PSFC US TTF Workshop, Salem, MA April 29, / 21
4 2 Motivation Motivation Motivation: Radiation & Impurity Control Impurity types: Type Example Intrinsic (non-recycling) B, Mo, C, W Non-intrinsic (non-recycling) Ca Non-intrinsic (recycling) Ne, Ar Impurities dilute plasmas. Energy loss by impurity radiation could affect the plasma performance, and even cause disruptions. Fully understadning of impurity transport is essential for fusion. Wave-impurity and impurity-impurity interactions may play roles in the argon pumpout effect, which is coupled with molybdenum injections. C Gao etc., MIT-PSFC US TTF Workshop, Salem, MA April 29, / 21
5 2 Motivation Diagnostics & ICRF Conditioning Diagnostics & ICRF Conditioning X-ray crystal spectroscopy (HiReX SR) Spatial resolution. Argon as diagnnsotic gas. H-like and He-like argon line emisivities. VUV spectroscopy (LoWEUS) Radially line-integrated emisivity through the core. A wider range of argon charge states. Visible Balmer-α emission spectrometer Edge H/D ratio. ICRF runs in the beginning of each campaign to condition antennas and reduce H/D ratio.

20 Argon level is strongly reduced with ICRF in H D plasmas. 1. A preferred n H /n D 42±5%. 2. A power threshold. 3. Argon intensity is modulated by ICRF. 4. Coupled with molybdenum injection. Impurity-wave interaction & source/edge effect are probable reasons. 1. Impurity-wave interaction: Preferred H/D. ICRF power threshold. 2. Source/edge effect: Molybdenum injection. Non-resonance argon pumpout. STRAHL simulation. 3. Change of other plasma parameters: Not relevant Future work (May 215) 1. Experiment with PCI is planned to identify the mode conversion strength and location. 2. Edge diagnostics (Chromex, scanning probe, etc.) will be employed to monitor edge effects.
