X-ray and extreme ultraviolet spectroscopy on DIII-D
Abstract
Two spectrometers were installed to measure tungsten emission in the core of DIII-D plasmas during a metal rings experimental campaign. The spectral range of the high-resolution (1340 spectral channels), variable-ruled grating X-ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer (XEUS) extends from10–71$$\dot{A}$$ . The spectral range of the second spectrometer, the Long-Wavelength Extreme Ultraviolet Spectrometer (LoWEUS), measures between 31–174$$\dot{A}$$ . Three groups of tungsten lines were identified with XEUS: W 38+-W 45+ from 47–63$$\dot{A}$$ , W 27+-W 35+ from 45–55$$\dot{A}$$ , and W 28+-W 33+ from 16–30$$\dot{A}$$ . Emission lines from tungsten charge states W 28+, W 43+, W 44+, and W 45+ are identified and the line amplitude is presented versus time. Peak emission of W 43+-W 45+ occurs between core Te=2.5-3 keV, and peak emission of W28+ occurs at core Te 1:3 keV. One group of tungsten lines, W 40+-W 45+, between 120–140$$\dot{A}$$ , was identified with LoWEUS. W 43+- W 45+ lines measured with LoWEUS track the sawtooth cycle. Furthermore, sensitivity to the sawtooth cycle and the correlation of the peak emission with core electron temperature show that these spectrometers track the on-axis tungsten emission of DIII-D plasmas.
