Spatial and Energy Profiling of D-D Fusion Reactions in an IEC Fusion Device David C. Donovan D. R. Boris, G. L. Kulcinski, J. F. Santarius 11 th US-Japan Workshop October 13, 2009 Fusion Technology Institute University of Wisconsin-Madison

Outline Fusion Ion Doppler (FIDO) Diagnostic –Energy Profiling Results Time of Flight (TOF) Diagnostic –Preliminary Spatial Profiling Results

All experiments discussed here conducted on UW IEC chamber known as HOMER Cylindrical Aluminum Chamber –Diameter: 91 cm –Height: 65 cm Feed Gas: Deuterium Typical Operating Parameters –Pressure: mTorr –Voltage: 40 – 160 kV –Current: 30 – 60 mA 3

Fusion Ion Doppler (FIDO) Diagnostic developed by D. R. Boris (2008) Goal – Examine the Doppler Shift imparted to D(d,p)T fusion products by the deuterium reactants to unfold the deuterium energy spectrum within HOMER IEC device. Problem – X-ray noise overwhelms triton (1.01 MeV) peak and clouds proton (3.02 MeV) peak making Doppler Shift unreliable to read. Solution – Move charged particle detectors out of line of sight of chamber. Results – The line averaged energy spectrum of deuterium ions and fast neutrals obtained over a wide range of parameter space within the HOMER IEC device. 4

Detector Position 1.5T GMW-5406 Electromagnet 1cm iris diameter 15cm iris separation kV Detector face moved out of line of sight of chamber Magnetic Deflection –Fusion products (MeV) –Secondary electrons (Hundreds of keV) 5 Solution to Minimizing X-Ray Noise Pb shielding around collimator channel and detector mount

Collimator channel has a ~20 degree bend at the elbow taking detector out of line of sight of chamber IEC Top Down IEC Isometric 6 Fusion Ion Doppler (FIDO) Diagnostic 1.5 T Electromagnet Fusion Products Detector Face

New setup allows both protons and tritons to be detected Doppler Shifted D-D triton peak Doppler Shifted D-D proton peak Previous scale of X-ray noise without Bending Arm and with Pb shield Previous scale of X-ray noise without Bending Arm and with Pb shield 7 Current X-ray Noise with Bending Arm and without Pb shield Current X-ray Noise with Bending Arm and without Pb shield

Subtraction of X-ray noise reveals proton & triton peaks of comparable size 1MeV Tritons 3MeV Protons Examining either side of the double peaked spectra can yield center of mass energy of the deuterium reactants 8

Calculating the Deuterium Energy Distribution Scaling the number of counts in each energy bin from the previous data set by σ fusion (E bin ) and normalizing the resulting spectrum yields: Line averaged spectrum shows: Few V cath Spectrum consistent w/ spectra predicted by G.A. Emmert & J.F. Santarius 9

Previous Work on Spatial Profiling Using Collimated Proton Detector Previous work done by Thorson (1996) on radially profiling of a spherically gridded IEC device using a collimated proton detector Straight 10 cm collimator channel attached to moveable bellows assembly to obtain different lines of sight through the chamber 10

Previous Work Using Collimated Proton Detector Experiments conducted at 35 kV, 20 mA, 1.9 mTorr of Deuterium Pressure Cathode diameter: 10 cm Most fusion reactions (>90%) believed to occur outside of cathode region 11

Time Of Flight (TOF) Diagnostic is an Advancement on the FIDO concept TOF concept proposed by G. R. Piefer and D. R. Boris (2007) and implemented by D. R. Boris and D. C. Donovan (2008) 2 identical FIDO setups on opposite sides of HOMER Direct line of sight created through both arms and center of chamber 12

D-D fusion events can be detected using coincidence counting methods Fast ions are accelerated radially towards the center of the electrodes Fast particles most likely to collide with background neutrals 13

If the fast particle has sufficient energy, it fuses with the background neutral D-D fusion events can be detected using coincidence counting methods 14

D-D fusion creates 3.02 MeV proton and 1.01 MeV triton Conservation of momentum requires both particles to move in exact opposite direction in center-of-mass frame Proton moves approximately 3 times faster than triton, so for this setup, the proton always arrives at the detector first D-D fusion events can be detected using coincidence counting methods 15

Proper alignment is critical for capturing both fusion products of the same reaction Distance between detectors: 2 meters Active Detection Area: 450 mm 2 Laser alignment used to ensure maximum exposure of detector face to chamber Adjustable Laser Mount Adjustable Laser Mount Photodetector Mount Left Arm Right Arm

Proper alignment is critical for capturing both fusion products of the same reaction Turnbuckle and steel cable used to support weight of arm and lead shielding Threaded rods used to properly position arm in 2D plane and align with arm on opposing side

Offset Angle Greatly Affects Detection Capacity Before Alignment 1.5 to 2 degree offset ~20% Exposure After Alignment <0.4 degree offset >80% Exposure 18

TAC gives difference in arrival times, equal to difference in TOF of fusion products Δt = t T - t p Time to Amplitude Converter (TAC) t p =r/v p t T =(L-r)/v T 21

Initial Results from Time Of Flight (TOF) Diagnostic Spatial resolution is roughly 2 cm Initial results have been achieved that indicate a high concentration of reactions inside the cathode Magnet 1 Magnet 2 Detector 1 Detector 2 2 m separation kV, 30 mA, 2 mTorr Deuterium

Initial results indicate at least 50% of fusion occurring within the cathode radius kV, 30 mA, 2 mTorr Deuterium
