Abstract A multichannel interferometer system is now routinely operating on the new quasi-helically symmetric stellarator, HSX, to measure the equilibrium profile and electron density dynamics. The interferometer system has 9 viewing chords with 1.5 cm spacing. The density spatial distribution is reconstructed from the measured line-integrated density. At high density [ ], an m=1 density oscillation with frequency of (1-2) kHz is observed. Perturbative particle transport studies will be carried out using modulated gas puffing. The particle source will be measured by a multi- channel H  system. By using the continuity equation, the total radial particle flux  r can then be estimated. The diffusion coefficient D and convection velocity V will also be modeled. *Supported by USDOE under grant DE-FG03-01ER-54615, Task II and DE-FG02-93ER54222.

Density Profile Inversion Method: Abel inversion; Singular Value Decomposition - flexible boundary conditions - non-circular geometry - plasma scrape-off-layer SOL estimate Model: spline fit to 9 channel line-density profile - no Shafranov Shift Path lengths: calculated for twenty vacuum flux surfaces, SOL plasma contribution: One viewing chord is outside the separatrix. This provides information on the SOL contribution. Refraction correction: necessary for chord length and position

Perturbative Particle Transport Study Density perturbation obtained by gas puffing modulation provide a good tool for particle transport study. Previous successful experiments on TEXT, ASDEX, W7-AS Diffusive and convective effects can be obtained by analyzing profile time evolution: Sinusoidal wave is ideal for this analysis, which give higher accuracy of the analysis. And a few cycles will be needed to obtain certain accuracy. The amplitude will be around less than 10% to reduce the effects of plasma parameters dependency.

The electron density can be constant on magnetic flux surfaces. We use cylindrical geometry transport Equation: Parameters n and S can be separated into two part: (1) stationary part n 0 and S 0, and (2) perturbed part and. where  is the frequency of the density perturbation generated by modulating the gas feed. Also assume D and V are independent of time. Linearizing equation (1) leads to: Continuity Equation (2) (1)

The boundary conditions are: at r=0 ; at r=a. Linearized Equations (5) (6) (7)

modulated gas feed

Fourier coefficients The Fourier coefficients of the line-integrated density were obtained by fitting the following function to the measured data: Here and are the real and imaginary parts of the Fourier coefficients at the ith Harmonic of the modulation frequency. The a0,a1 and a2 correspond to constant, linear and quadratic time dependence and take into account a possible slow time evolution.

Density Perturbation Amplitude and Phase Amplitude and phase of the first harmonic of the modulation frequency for the line-integrated densities

Estimated Source At this moment, electron source profile unknown. Assume source profile has exponential fall-off. Amplitude and position of the Source were chosen (roughly) according to the H  measurement.

Results for D=const. and V=0 A rough estimate of D from measured particle confinement time, gives ~ 3ms, D est =a 2 /(6  p )~ 1.0m 2 /s

Results for stepped D, with V=0 The modeling is not sensitive to the detailed structure of D

Sensitivity of Modeling to D

Sensitivity of Modeling to V

Sensitivity of Modeling to Source Profile if x<xc S=no*exp(-abs(x-xc)/xl1); if x>xc S=no*exp(-abs(x-xc)/xl2); xl2=5cm Peak position: xc=3.4cm

Density Perturbation at different frequencies The Particle transport is unchanged with the frequency of gas feed modulations

Density Perturbation with different Densities The Particle transport changes a little with density, which would give smaller D at higher density.

Modeling of the recent experiment D=2.0m 2 /sec V=0m/sec

Better fit with outward convection D=2.0m 2 /sec V=300m/sec Source same as last slide

Summary Equilibrium Density Distributions for QHS, Mirror, Anti-mirror modes were obtained. The preliminary measurement and analysis shows the possibility of perturbative particle transport study on HSX,the modeling shows the D around 1-2m 2 /s. Improved Electron source measurement (or modeling) required to determine D and V which provide best fit to interferometer data.
