Аннотация
2D poloidal contour plots of plasma potential, plasma density, and their fluctuations have been measured in low density plasmas sustained by Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating using a heavy ion beam probe (HIBP) system in the TJ-II stellarator. A HIBP has been used in the new energy scanning mode to obtain the measurements for a 2D poloidal cross section of the stellarator. The 2D map for the absolute plasma potential shows a local maximum in the plasma core as expected in low density plasma scenarios. Fluctuations in the HIBP secondary ion current, as a proxy of plasma density fluctuations, appear both in positive and negative density gradient regions, with a normalized level of density fluctuations higher in the negative density gradient region. The TJ-II innovative experimental setup developed using a dual HIBP diagnostic paves the way for model validation on core plasma potential asymmetries and particle transport and fluctuations under positive and negative density gradient scenarios.
