APS, 44th Annual Meeting of the Division of Plasma Physics November 11-15, 2002; Orlando, Florida Abstract A. E. Abdou, A. F. Almagri, D. T. Anderson, J. N. Talmadge, S. P. Gerhardt, R. R. O’Connell * The HSX Plasma Laboratory, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA * MST Plasma Laboratory, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA E: In the Helically Symmetric eXperiment (HSX), electrons are ECRH heated using 28 GHz, 2nd harmonic gyrotron. The normal configuration is Quasi-Helical Symmetric (QHS), it has a dominant n=4, m=1 components in the magnetic field spectrum. With a set of auxiliary coils, the quasihelical symmetry can be broken (MIRROR, HILL and WELL, modes). In this work the resolved hard X-ray emission in the HSX is analyzed using CdZnTl detector (1  s shaping time, Gain =50). The detector is housed is a lead box adjacent to the vacuum vessel, with 0.8 mm pinhole and 200  m SS filter placed in front of the detector. The hard X- ray pulse height spectrum was accumulated in a series of similar ECRH discharges. The behavior of the fast electrons has been studied for densities in the range of 0.2 to 0.9 x cm -3. The magnetic configuration has also been altered between QHS and MIRROR, and ANTI-MIRROR modes in order to determine the effect of magnetic ripple on characteristic energies and densities of fast electrons. Pulse height analysis of hard x- ray emission shows the presence of X-ray photons with energies as high as 650 KeV. Hard X-ray emission is strong function of plasma density; where at low density (0.2 x cm -3 ) the intensity is ~80 times higher than at higher density (0.9 x cm -3 ) for QHS mode. The hard X-ray intensity is higher in the QHS than in the MIRROR mode. Also the high energy tail of the spectrum extends to higher energies in QHS (~ 650 KeV). Future work will involve:transport calculation to determine fast electron energy distribution. *This work is supported by US DOE grant number DE-FG02-93ER54222.

APS, 44th Annual Meeting of the Division of Plasma Physics November 11-15, 2002; Orlando, Florida Conclusion Hard X-ray signal last for at least 50 ms after the ECRH is turned off indicating good confinement of fast electrons. Hard X-ray emission is a strong function of plasma density; where at low density (0.2 x cm -3 ) the intensity is ~80 times higher than at high density (0.9 x cm -3 ). Hard Hard X-ray intensity is very low in ANTI-MIRROR mode at all plasma densities (poor confinement). The hard X-ray spectrum extends to energies as high as 650 keV in the QHS mode. Increasing the neutral base pressure beyond 4.4 x suppress the fast electrons that are produced by toroidal voltage.
