摘要

Using a recently installed impurity powder dropper (IPD), boron powder (mu m) was injected into lower single null (LSN) L-mode discharges in WEST. IPDs possibly enable real-time wall conditioning of the plasma-facing components and may help to facilitate H-mode access in the full-tungsten environment of WEST. The discharges in this experiment featured I (p) = 0.5 MA, B (T) = 3.7 T, q (95) = 4.3, t (pulse) = 12-30 s, n (e,0) similar to 4 x 10(19) m(-2), and P (LHCD) similar to 4.5 MW. Estimates of the deuterium and impurity particle fluxes, derived from a combination of visible spectroscopy measurements and their corresponding S/XB coefficients, showed decreases of similar to 50 in O+, N+, and C+ populations during powder injection and a moderate reduction of these low-Z impurities (similar to 50) and W (similar to 10) in the discharges that followed powder injection. Along with the improved wall conditions, WEST discharges with B powder injection observed improved confinement, as the stored energy W (MHD), neutron rate, and electron temperature T (e) increased significantly (10-25 for W (MHD) and 60-200 for the neutron rate) at constant input power. These increases in confinement scale up with the powder drop rate and are likely due to the suppression of ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence from changes in Z (eff) and/or modifications to the electron density profile.
