1 Effect of divertor nitrogen seeding on the power exhaust channel width in Alcator C-Mod B. LaBombard, D. Brunner, A.Q. Kuang, W. McCarthy, J.L. Terry and the Alcator Team Presented at the International Conference on Plasma Surface Interactions in Controlled Fusion Devices Princeton University, NJ, USA, June 218 This work was supported by US DoE cooperative agreements DE-SC14264 and DE-FC2-99ER54512 on Alcator C-Mod, a DoE Office of Science user facility.
2 Question: Does upstream power exhaust width depend on conditions in the divertor? radiation, detachment, electrical disconnection? Scrape-off layer power channel widths (λ q ) are projected empirically to be ~.5 mm in power reactors (B p ~ 1.2 T), based on data from attached divertor plasmas with low levels of volumetric dissipation. Theory indicates that electrical connection to the target can play a role in SOL turbulence: Ø Ø parallel currents to target can reduce blob polarization/transport [e.g. O.E. Garcia PoP 26] sheath potentials can impose ExB shear in near SOL regulating turbulence [e.g. F. Halpern NF 217] new database probe-based sensors old database IR thermograpic analysis At high levels of volumetric dissipation and/or partial detached target conditions electrical connection can be weak or broken Does upstream λ q change under these conditions? T. Eich 213, D. Brunner 218 Experiments were performed on C-Mod to examine this question... 2
3 Experiment: Systematically vary divertor dissipation (via N2 seeding) in otherwise identical plasmas; study SOL response. Experiments enabled by real-time heat flux measurements (via surface thermocouples) to feedback control divertor N2 seeding [1] Surface Thermocouples Experiment Produce a series of ohmic L-mode plasmas with B-field constant core plasma conditions Ramped Tiles Systematically lower set point of divertor heat flux, causing divertor to change from sheath-limited to high-recycling to partially detached. Record divertor response with Surface TC array and with a high resolution Rail Langmuir probe array [2] Scanning Mirror Langmuir Probe 21 Rail Langmuir Probes Record upstream profiles with Scanning Mirror Langmuir Probe [3] => examine SOL response and heat flux widths Divertor N2 seeding [1] Brunner, RSI 87 (216); [2] Kuang,RSI (218); [3] LaBombard, PoP 21 (214) Effect of divertor nitrogen seeding on power exhaust channel width in Alcator C-Mod B.

8 What might we expect? As N 2 divertor seeding is increased... reduction in divertor target electron temperature increase in divertor target density increase in divertor plasma collisionality Myra and D Ippolito plasma collisionality parameter, Λ, increases, possibly enhancing cross-field blob transport increase in SOL width decrease in sheath potential decrease in SOL plasma potential decrease in ExB shear Reduction of radially sheared ExB flows allows enhanced cross-field transport increase in SOL width Blob Propagation Model [1] Myra, PoP 13 (26) 1122 Plasma Potential and ExB Shear Layer Model Φ/T e [1] Halpern, NF 57 (217) 341 8

31 .55 MA dataset: But - Upstream Plasma Potential Profile is strongly affected by divertor N 2 seeding Phi (V) Lambda Myra Upstream Plasma Potential > 3 Divertor Collisionality Parameter, Λ div - Myra Plasma potential at LCFS drops by ~ V, roughly consistent drop in divertor T e and corresponding sheath potential Divertor collisionality in near SOL increases by two orders of magnitude with N 2 seeding Message: Near SOL density and temperature profiles (~heat flux widths) are robustly insensitive to: Time-averaged potential, ExB flows and their shear Divertor conditions (e.g. collisionality)
32 Summary Upstream T e, n e profiles near the LCFS (~heat flux widths) are robustly insensitive to divertor plasma conditions Factor of ~1 reduction in divertor target plate heat fluxes (with core plasma unchanged) Divertor target conditions varying from sheath-limited to high-recycling, approaching detachment; divertor collisionality (Λ div Myra) changing by factor of ~. DC current densities to the target plate reduced by over an order of magnitude Upstream T e, n e profiles near the LCFS (~heat flux widths) are insensitive to plasma potential profile (and ExB shear details) Upstream T e, n e profiles are sensitive to plasma fluctuations (e.g. shoulder formation in unseeded 1.1 MA cases) Mechanism that generates fluctuations seen in 1.1 MA unseeded cases is unknown message: beware of confounding influences when doing controlled experiments 32
33 Why do these results matter? Practical Indicates that divertor dissipation does not reduce peak heat flux densities entering into the divertor volume via an increase in λ q Theoretical Indicates that divertor plasma conditions, including divertor sheath boundary conditions, and plasma potential profiles (~equilibrium ExB shear) do not play a defining role in the physics of cross-field transport in the near SOL region contrary to some notions Implication for Advanced Divertors Indicates that: (1) upstream λ q will be largely unaffected by divertor details length of divertor leg, flux expansion, embedded x-points,... (2) divertor should be designed to accommodate empirical upstream λ q 33
