Area of Science:

  • Plasma Physics
  • Fusion Energy Research
  • Diagnostic Techniques

Background:

  • Tokamaks and stellarators are fusion devices requiring precise measurements of plasma properties.
  • Turbulent electron temperature fluctuations (δ Te) significantly impact plasma confinement and performance.
  • Current diagnostic methods face limitations due to restricted viewing access and the number of measurement lines of sight (LOS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a new pseudolocal tomography algorithm for soft X-ray (SXR) imaging.
  • To overcome limitations in viewing angle and LOS for measuring turbulent electron temperature fluctuations.
  • To assess the feasibility of reconstructing wavenumber spectra of turbulence with improved diagnostics.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a pseudolocal tomography algorithm tailored for SXR imaging.
  • Numerical modeling to simulate SXR measurements and reconstruct turbulence data.
  • Evaluation of the algorithm's performance with varying viewing angles, LOS, and detector signal-to-noise ratios (SNR).

Main Results:

  • The pseudolocal tomography algorithm successfully reconstructs the wavenumber spectrum of turbulence.
  • The method overcomes constraints imposed by limited viewing ports and LOS.
  • Reliable reconstruction is achievable with a practical number of viewing angles, LOS, and low SNR detectors.

Conclusions:

  • A pseudolocal reconstruction algorithm is a feasible approach for SXR imaging diagnostics.
  • This technique enables accurate measurements of turbulent electron temperature fluctuations (δ Te) in fusion devices.
  • The developed algorithm offers a significant advancement in plasma diagnostic capabilities for tokamaks and stellarators.
