Effect of magnetic field ripple on parallel electron transport during microwave plasma heating in the Proto-MPEX linear plasma device

Journal Article Caneses Marin, Juan F. ; Spong, Donald A. ; Lau, Cornwall ; ... - Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion

The Prototype Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (Proto-MPEX) is a linear plasma device located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to develop the plasma source concept for the Materials Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX). Recent experiments have demonstrated the heating of electrons in a high-density deuterium plasma (n_e ~ 5 × 10¹⁹ m^-3) via electron Bernstein waves and source plasma production via helicon waves in this linear configuration. Moreover, experimental observations suggest that the magnetic ripple adversely affects the parallel transport of the heated electrons toward the target where material samples are to be exposed to the plasma. In order to understand themore »« less

Utilization of O-X-B mode conversion of 28 GHz microwaves to heat core electrons in the upgraded Proto-MPEX

Journal Article Biewer, T. M. ; Lau, C. ; Bigelow, T. S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

The magnetic geometry of the Prototype Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment (Proto-MPEX) was recently altered to enable more effective utilization of 28 GHz microwave auxiliary power, specifically: (1) to heat plasma electrons in the radial core of the device and (2) to deliver the heated plasma to the target plate of the device. To achieve this goal, the microwave launcher geometry and placement were significantly re-engineered, guided by previous experimental results and computational modeling. The core electron temperature in the launcher region is observed to increase from 3 eV to 11 eV with 30 kW of auxiliary power after the improvements,more »« less

Evidence of electron heating at different radial locations on Proto-MPEX

Journal Article Lau, Cornwall ; Caneses Marin, Juan F. ; Bigelow, Tim S. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

This paper reports on the observation of controlled underdense electron heating for high heat flux applications in the Prototype Material Plasma Exposure eXperiment. The goal of this experiment is to demonstrate the source and heating concepts to create a high intensity plasma at material targets to study plasma-material interactions in similar plasma conditions to magnetic fusion divertors. A 80 kW helicon source at 13.56 MHz is used for the plasma density production and a 15 kW microwave source at 28 GHz is used for electron heating. Moreover, for electron densities ~5 × 10¹⁸ m^-3, the electron temperature at the targetmore »« less
