Abstract
A high-resolution spectroscopic diagnostic for the measurement of spatial profiles of impurity ion toroidal rotation velocities on the ADITYA-U tokamak has been upgraded to cover the complete plasma minor radius. Earlier, the coverage of diagnostics toward the plasma edge was restricted due to the placement of collection optics on the tangential port outside the vacuum vessel. The coverage of the full plasma minor radius, from 0 to 24 cm, has been achieved using the newly designed and developed collection optics that have seven lines of sight to view the tokamak plasma mounted inside a customized re-entrant view port which is installed in the shadow of the limiter inside the vacuum vessel. The upgraded diagnostic also includes a faster charged coupled device detector with a smaller pixel size for the detection of a small wavelength shift. The complete spatial profile has been measured using the Doppler shifted passive change exchange spectral line at 529.0 nm from the C5+ ion. In this article, we present the collection optics' design, installation, calibration, and results obtained using the upgraded diagnostic.

Observations of visible argon line emissions and its spatial profile from Aditya-U tokamak plasma. THE REVIEW OF SCIENTIFIC INSTRUMENTS 2021; 92:053548. [PMID: 34243287 DOI: 10.1063/5.0043877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 05/07/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The spectroscopic studies of medium and high Z impurities have been the subject of interest in fusion research due to their role in mitigating plasma disruption and reducing heat load on the plasma facing components. Line emissions from these impurities provide the rotation velocity and ion temperature measurements along with the understanding of the overall impurity behavior in plasma. In the Aditya-U tokamak, the spatially resolved Ar II line emissions have been observed using a high resolution multi-track spectroscopic diagnostic consisting of a 1 m Czerny-Turner spectrometer coupled with a charge coupled device (CCD) detector using seven lines of sight viewing plasma tangentially along the toroidal direction. The spatially resolved Ar II lines at 458.96 nm have been observed. The singly ionized Ar emission peaks at the radial location of ρ = 0.8 of the plasma having a minor radius of 25 cm. Moreover, a 0.5 m UV-visible spectrometer coupled with a CCD detector and having a line of sight passing through the plasma midplane from the radial port was used to record visible Ar survey spectra within the 670-810 nm wavelength range, and all these lines have been identified for further analysis.

Poloidal Rotation and Edge Ion Temperature Measurements Using Spectroscopy Diagnostic on Aditya-U Tokamak. ATOMS 2019.

Abstract
The impurity ion poloidal rotation and ion temperature from the Aditya-U tokamak plasma have been measured using a high-resolution spectroscopic diagnostic. It comprises of a high resolution, 1 m, f/8.7, Czerny-Turner configuration spectrometer along with charge coupled device (CCD) detector. The system monitors the spectral line emission of C2+ impurity ions at 464.74 nm from the top port of the Aditya-U vacuum vessel with the lines of sight covering the plasma minor radius from r = 11.55 cm to 21.55 cm. The impurity ion poloidal rotation velocity and temperature have been estimated using the Doppler shift and Doppler broadening of the spectral lines respectively. The maximum poloidal rotation at a radial location of 21.55 cm in the edge of the plasma during the plasma current flat top was observed to be ~4 km/s for the analyzed discharges and the ion temperatures measured in the edge were in the range of 32–40 eV.
