Title 436: Sheath factor measurement in Pisces compared with DIII-D
Name:Charles Lasnier () Affiliation:Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory
Research Area:Thermal Transport in the Plasma Boundary Presentation time: Not requested
Co-Author(s): K. Umstadter, J. Boedo, J. Watkins
Description: Measure the sheath factor for power transmission in Pisces using a DIMES sample which can then be used for the same measurement in DIII-D.
Experimental Approach/Plan: use an instrumented carbon sample with a Langmuir probe in Pisces to measure electron temperature and density, and surface tmeprature using an IR camera.
Background: We have measured sheath factors different from the theoretical value. The Pisces sheath will be simpler than DIII-D in th absence of a magnetic field, so we should look at that first. Then when we uderstand it, move the sample to DIII-D
Resource Requirements: Pisces run time, Langmuir probe instrumented sample, IR camera
DIII-D shots or piggyback.
Diagnostic Requirements: IR camera, Langmuir probe
Analysis Requirements: Probe and IRTV analysis, compare with sheath model
Other Requirements: --
