Plasma Heating and Current Drive Using Injection of High-Energy Deuterium Beam in Early Discharge Stage in the GLOBUS-M2 Tokamak at Toroidal Magnetic Field of 0.95 T
摘要
Abstract
The results of studying plasma in the Globus-M2 spherical tokamak are presented in the scenario with injection of one neutral beam with energy of 46 keV and power of 0.925 MW in the stage of current ramp-up in the toroidal magnetic field of 0.95 T. In the experiment, the ion temperature as high as 4 keV, which had been reached previously only in the scenario involving sequential heating of plasma by two sources of high-energy atoms. The development of sawtooth oscillations leads to twofold decreases in the ion temperature and energy confinement time.
