The fast edge electron temperature profile(approximately from r a~ 0.6 to the scrape-off layer) is investigated using ME-SXR diagnostic system. The data process was performed by the ideal ‘multi-foil' technique, with no priori assumptions of plasma profiles. Reconstructed ME-SXR emissivity profiles for a variety of EAST experimental scenarios are presented here for the first time. The applications of the ME-SXR for study of the effects of resonant magnetic perturbation on edge localized modes and the first time neon radiating divertor experiment in EAST are also presented in this work. It has been found that neon impurity can suppress the 2/1 tearing mode and trigger a 3/1 MHD mode.展开更多

The density decay time during terminating gas puffing has been employed as a key parameter to evaluate the divertor particle exhaust performance. Comparative plasma discharges have been carried out on the particle exhaust performance between two toroidal field directions in the upper single null and lower single null divertor configurations. This work has enhanced the understanding of the effects of the in–out asymmetry and divertor geometry on the efficiency of the divertor particle exhaust. In addition, the sensitivity of the particle exhaust capability on different strike point locations has been analyzed. The experimental results are expected to provide important information on the future upgrade of EAST bottom divertor and facilitate the realization of longer pulse operation.展开更多
