● Direct measurement of energetic particles in plasma ( proton, alpha etc. ) ● Background neutral for charge exchange is required in passive measurement Difficult to obtain central information due to low back ground neutral around the plasma center. Double charge exchange is necessary to measure -particle Line integration →Pellet Charge Exchange (PCX) by combination of TESPEL & CNPA PCX has been tried in TFTR for -particle measurement New results can be obtained even in non-DT plasma device →Diagnostic development (1) Establishment of the PCX technique for proton (1/4 mass of ) (2)Try helium ion measurement by using PCX (3) PCX in ITER Pellet Charge Exchange Measurement

Diagnostic Principle of PCX d l = D t i ・ v pel (Typically 100μ s ) By measuring the charge exchange particle just behind the pellet trajectory, the time trace of the particle emission can be translated to the spatial distribution. v pel =500m/s→ 5cm Corresponding to the ablation diameter

Typical CNPA results in ICH plasma ICH+NBI#1 ( ●○ )、 ICH+NBI#1+#4 ( ■□ ) 、 ICH+NBI#4 ( ▲ △) Closed marks ( ●■▲ ) mean the standard heating, open marks ( ○□ △) mean the central heating of ICH. The difference of both cases is remarkable in the ICH+NBI#1. Particles from NBI#4 is also obviously observed. NBI#1 ICH#5 NBI#4 NBI#1 ICH#5 NBI#4 Standard heating Central heating

Difference of the resonance positions in PCX Rax=3.6,Bt=-1.25TRax=3.6,Bt=-1.375T ICH 2 nd harmonics -1.375T Standard heating -1.25T Central heating In -1.375T, the flux increase at =0. 5. However in - 1.25T, no enhancement of the flax appears. ←Time trace of the charge exchange particle flux during TESPEL injection. Here the time means the pellet penetration depth. The pellet reaches =0.1. Vertical axis shows the particle energy.

Difference of the resonance positions in PCX(cont.) In the standard heating 、 the flux increases at =0.5. In the central heating, the flux increase can not be found because the the pellet trajectory is not cross the resonance surface.

He(ρ) Pellet velocity 440m/s At plasma edge(ρ=1), the helium/hydrogen ratio of 0.085 is measure by visible spectrometer. We assume that the ratio is at the energy of 11keV ( minimum energy) H He →Scattering of the hydrogen atom

He 3 minority heating experiment He-3 minority experiment had been tried in LHD 9th experimental campaign. He4 was used as the majority target gas. Small increase of the temperature could be obtained because the hydrogen still remained. We have plan to measure the He-3 spectrum/profile in the next experimental campaign. ICH TiTi
