Central Deuteron Temperature Derived from Total Neutron Emission Rate in Electron Cyclotron Heated LHD Plasmas

抄録

Total neutron emission rate from Large Helical Device plasmas is measured by using a neutron flux monitor newly installed for deuterium operations. Deuteron temperature is derived from the total neutron emission rates in electron cyclotron heated Large Helical Device plasmas. Time evolution of central deuteron temperature obtained by the neutron flux monitor approximately agrees with central impurity ion temperature measured by the EUV spectrometer.
