Attenuation of neutral beam injection is analyzed numerically under different plasma conditions： different plasma densities, beam energies, electron temperatures, and impurity concentrations. Both optimized plasma density and beam energy for plasma heating are obtained.展开更多

High are efficiency is necessary for a high power ion source, because it can decrease the load of the arc power supply. Thus the relationship between the discharge parameters （gas pressure, arc voltage, filament current, bias resistance connecting between the anode and plasma grid） and the arc efficiency is investigated in experiment especially. It is found that with increasing pressure, the arc efficiency increases fast if the pressure is below 0.4 Pa, but when it is above 0.4 Pa, the arc efficiency remains unchanged or increases slowly. If we increase the arc voltage or filament current, the arc efficiency decreases. The bias resistance also influences the arc efficiency, at the same pressure the arc efficiency increases with resistance.展开更多

The code can calculate the radial profile and energy spectrum of neutral particles in cylindrical plasmas. The calculation time of the code is dramatically reduced when the Splitting and Roulette schemes are applied. The plasma model of an infinite cylinder is assumed in the code, which is very convenient in simulating neutral particle transports in small and middle-sized tokamaks. The design of the multi-channel neutral particle analyser （NPA） on HL-2A can be optimized by using this code.展开更多
