The density was measured by a five-channel FIR interferometer. The density modulation amplitude was 10% of the central chord averaged background density and the modulation frequency was 10 Hz in the experiments. The particle diffusion coefficient （D） and the convection velocity （V） were obtained for different background plasmas with the central chord averaged density 〈ne〉 = 1.5×10^19m^-3 and 3.0×10^19 m^-3 respectively. It was observed that the influence of density modulation on the main plasma parameters was very weak. This technology is expected to be useful for the analysis of LHW and IBW heated plasmas on HT-7 tokamak in the near future.展开更多

Continuousoperation of more than 10000 pellet launching at 10 Hz has been demonstrated. The maximum repeatingrate is 11 Hz. No technical constraint for longer operation has been found. The reliability ofpellet launch has exceeded 99.9%. The initial application to the NBI-heated plasmas has beensuccessful in the last experimental campaign of LHD. Although the pulse length is limited by theoperational constraint of NBI, the plasma with a density of 8 X 10^(19) m^(-3) has been sustainedfor 2 s by the pellet injection at 10 Hz. A prospect for the future experiment is discussed on thebasis of the initial result.展开更多
