Abstract

The influence of the magnetic field intensity and direction with respect to the wave vector on the scattering cross-section resonances was studied. Good experimental conditions were used for studying these resonances. It is shown that the spectrum modulation of the scattered wave can be used to measure, in some configurations, the confining magnetic field direction. (auth)

Simultaneous measurement of magnetic field direction and ion temperature in a plasma by collective scattering with a CO/sub 2/ laser

Journal Article Kasparek, W ; Holzhauer, E - Appl. Phys. Lett.; (United States)

The effect of strongly magnetized electrons on the spectrum of collective electron density fluctuations was observed for the first time in a laboratory plasma. A single mode CO/sub 2/ laser and coherent detection were used to scatter from a hydrogen plasma with the scattering wave vector perpendicular to the magnetic field. The results demonstrate that both the ion temperature and direction of the magnetic field can be measured simultaneously.

Determination of magnetic-moment directions using x-ray resonant exchange scattering

Journal Article Detlefs, C ; Islam, A H ; Goldman, A I ; ... - Physical Review, B: Condensed Matter

We present determinations of the magnetic structures of NdNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C and SmNi{sub 2}B{sub 2}C by means of x-ray resonant exchange scattering (XRES). The integrated intensity of a number of magnetic reflections was measured as a function of the Bragg angle and compared to model calculations for various magnetic structures. The two compounds were found to have the same magnetic modulation wave vector but different moment directions. A resonant feature observed below the Sm L{sub 3}-absorption edge, similar to unexplained effects found in other light rare-earth compounds, is identified as quadrupolar XRES and is used to refine the details ofmore »« less

Stimulated Raman scattering of beat wave of two counter-propagating X-mode lasers in a magnetized plasma

Journal Article Verma, Kanika ; Sajal, Vivek ; Varshney, Prateek ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

Effects of transverse static magnetic field on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) of the beat wave excited by two counter-propagating lasers are studied. Two counter-propagating lasers with frequency difference, ω{sub 1}∼ω{sub 2}≥2ω{sub p}, drive a non resonant space charge beat mode at wave number k{sup →}{sub 0}≈k{sup →}{sub 1}+k{sup →}{sub 2} in a plasma, where k{sup →}{sub 1} and k{sup →}{sub 2} are wave vectors of lasers having frequencies ω{sub 1} and ω{sub 2}, respectively. The driven beat wave acts as a pump for SRS and excites parametrically a pair of plasma wave (ω,k{sup →}) and side band electromagnetic wave (ω{submore »« less

Feasibility of alpha particle measurement in a magnetically confined plasma by CO/sub 2/ laser Thomson scattering

Technical Report Richards, R. K. ; Vander Sluis, K. L. ; Hutchinson, D. P.

Fusion-product alpha particles will dominate the behavior of the next generation of ignited D-T fusion reactors. Advanced diagnostics will be required to characterize the energy deposition of these fast alpha particles in the magnetically confined plasma. For small-angle coherent Thomson scattering of a CO/sub 2/ laser beam from such a plasma, a resonance in the scattered power occurs near 90/sup 0/ with respect to the magnetic field direction. This spatial concentration permits a simplified detection of the scattered laser power from the plasma using a heterodyne system. The signal produced by the presence of fusion-product alpha particles in an ignitedmore »« less

Measurement of the magnetic field direction in a plasma by collective scattering with a CO/sub 2/ laser

Journal Article Holzhauer, E ; Kasparek, W - Rev. Sci. Instrum.; (United States)

The effect of strongly magnetized electrons on the spectrum of collective electron density fluctuations can be used to measure the magnetic field direction in a plasma with laser light scattering. The application of this method to measure the poloidal field in tokamaks is discussed. It is shown that noncircular beam cross sections will increase the angular resolution without loss in spatial resolution. In experiments to measure the ion temperature this technique results in an increase of scattered power received. The magnetic field direction was measured for the first time in a laboratory plasma using a pulsed CO/sub 2/ laser andmore » coherent detection.« less
