Equilibrium potential measurements Raw data ( 380 kA standard discharge) sawtooth crash indicated by the abrupt drop of signals strong trend of potential with m/n = 1/6 mode velocity the dominant tearing mode fluctuations eliminated by 10 kHz LP filter

Equilibrium potential measurements Calibration of the energy analyzer Beam energy analyzer voltage detector signals  good agreement between the calibration and theory  Beam entrance angle is centered at 30 .

Equilibrium potential measurements Equilibrium potential profile measurements  Equilibrium potential is obtained by averaging within 0.2ms time window ensembles in 20~50 shots   0.2 ~ 0.35 kV potential scattering (not shown)  potential profiles are obtained by changing the steering voltage from shot to shot  relatively flat profiles at r/a ~ 0.3 to 0.8, indicating weak E r  potential in PPCD discharges is smaller than in standard discharges, indicating improved electron confinement

Instrumental error analysis Potential profile during 25 standard discharge shots (ensembles are obtained during flattop period of discharge, away from sawtooth crashes) HIBP measurements in MST-RFP exhibit  variations of currents on the detector during a sawtooth cycle  unexplained shot to shot potential variations Possible reasons:  evolution and fluctuation of fields  variation of location, size and orientation of sample volume  variation of other plasma parameters: electron density, plasma current, etc  signal scrape-off effects (blocked by ports, apertures, structures in beamline)

Instrumental error analysis Simulation throughout a sawtooth cycle Secondary current signals on detector Sample volume position variation Good agreement of general trend of the signals between measurements and simulation significant signal scrape-off during a sawtooth cycle ( mostly by steering plates and grids on ground plate of the analyzer) sample volume position varies up to 3.5 cm over a sawtooth cycle

Instrumental error analysis Potential estimation with iteration algorithm Potential variation signal scrape-off has insignificant contribution to potential measurements due to the negligible slant angle of the beam images on the detector output pot calculated currents consistent with measured HIBP signals? secondary beam energy = primary beam energy+ potential measured run finite-sized beam simulation calculate secondary currents on four slit plates of detector N adjust potential Y Simu_in Simu_out

Electron density profile obtained from MSTFit over the sawtooth cycle during a typical 380 kA standard discharge. The fat lines along the density profiles show the simulated HIBP sample volume length.

Conclusion equilibrium potential profiles measured by HIBP are relatively flat, indicating weak radial electric field finite-sized beam simulation shows good agreement with measurements. Signal scrape-off has insignificant effects on potential variations. Other factors including UV loading, power supply ripples, density gradient and beam attenuation will contribute insignificantly to potential error in the interior region of the plasma.

Future work improve beam focusing real time feedback control of the secondary beam system to improve the beam alignment and reduce the beam scrape-off numerical experiment by using finite-sized beam model to investigate the effects of magnetic fluctuations and other variations of plasma parameters on HIBP potential measurements.
