- Abstract
- The radial profiles of KT-1 tokamak (major radius of 27 cm, minor radius of 4.25 cm, two poloidal stainless-steel limiters) edge plasma parameters are measured using single and triple electric probes. The particle transport parameters are calculated from the measured edge plasma parameters, and the results are analyzed by the simple fluid approximations. The cross-field particle diffusion coefficient (D⊥) in the boundary plasma of the KT-1 is calculated from the density scrape-off length (λn) measured by using a triple probe. The particle density and electron temperature fall exponentially in the radial direction with the e-folding length of λn=0.13 cm and λe=0.41 cm, respectively. From the scrape-off layer (SOL) model, the experimental values of scrape-off length (λn) is used to calculate the cross-field diffusion coefficient (D⊥=1.2×103cm2/s), roughly corresponding to one third of the typical Bohm value. A simple SOL model with the contribution of recombination is introduced to evaluate the Bohm diffusion in the KT-1 tokamak edge plasma. Cross-field heat conductivity calculated from these deduced values is ∼5.2D⊥ in the SOL of KT-1 edge plasma. These results provide the finally certain information for edge particle transport in the KT-1 boundary plasmas.
