Experimental setup for tungsten transport studies at the NSTX tokamak

Clementson, Joel LU ; Beiersdorfer, P. ; Roquemore, A. L. ; Skinner, C. H. ; Mansfield, D. K. ; Hartzfeld, K. and Lepson, J. K. (2010) 18th Topical Conference on High-Temperature Plasma Diagnostics 81(10).
Abstract
Tungsten particles have been introduced into the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) in Princeton with the purpose to investigate the effects of tungsten injection on subsequent plasma discharges. An experimental setup for the study of tungsten particle transport is described where the particles are introduced into the tokamak using a modified particle dropper, otherwise used for lithium-powder injection. An initial test employing a grazing-incidence extreme ultraviolet spectrometer demonstrates that the tungsten-transport setup could serve to infer particle transport from the edge to the hot central plasmas of NSTX.
