abstract = {In this work the energy and impurity transport was
investigated by means of the active chargeexchange
recombination spectroscopy (CXRS). CXRS is a method to
determine the ion temperature, plasma rotation and impurity
density both space and time-resolved . It is based on the
investigation of the spectral shape of the lines, which are
emitted by the impurity ions after the CX processes with the
neutral particles . The source of the neutral particles are
high-energy beams (e.g. heating beams), which penetrate
deeply into the plasma and therefore enable the measurements
over the entire plasma radius. During this work a new CXRS
diagnostics was installed at TEXTOR-94. The principal part
of this diagnostics is the diagnostic hydrogen beam RUDI.
The RUDI injector ensures an equivalent neutral current of 1
.1 A with an energy of 50 keV and a pulse length of 4 s,
modulated with 500 Hz. The observation system covering the
whole beam path and a low divergence of 0.6° of the RUDI
beam lead to a good space resolution. Measurements using a
modified CXRS diagnostics at the heating beam were performed
for the characterisation of the plasma edge, particularly in
discharges with impurity seeding and improved energy
confinement (RI-mode) . With the measurements of the ion
temperature and plasma rotation profiles it was proven, that
in the RI-mode there is no transport barrier at the plasma
edge, which is typical for another regime with the improved
confinement, the H-mode. The ratio of the ion and electron
temperature at the plasma edge varies between 4 at the low
and 1 .5 at the high densities . The ratio TilT, becomes
larger with increasing radiation level, because the
electrons are cooled directly via inelastic collisions with
the impurity ions . A correlation between the measured edge
parameters and the global confinement characteristics was
observed: the confinement degradation leads to the higher
neutral particle densities at the edge, which slow down the
toroidal rotation influenced by the flows in the scrape-off
layer. Regarding CXRS the most important advantage of the
diagnostic beam in relation to the heating beam is the
possibility to measure under all discharge conditions.
Measurements with RUDI took place to a large extent under
conditions of ohmic plasma heating: the energy balance of
ions and electrons was investigated for different plasma
currents and densities ; in high density discharges the
transition to improved ohmic confinement (IOC) was observed
after switching off the external gas flow. In the standard
high density ohmic plasmas (saturated ohmic confinement -
SOC) the confinement time is independent of the plasma
density . In contrast, it scales in the IOC regime linearly
with the density . The SOC-IOC transition was investigated
regarding the influence of the toroidal ITG instability
driven by the ion temperature gradient. On the basis of the
measured ion temperature distributions the q;-parameter
(ratio of the density and ion temperature decay lengths) and
the growth rate of the ITG instability were calculated. The
ITG mode is destabilised, if ih is larger then a critical
value depending on the scale length of the density profile.
After the SOC-IOC transition i1i lies in a noticeably
smaller radial region over the critical value. As the
result, the IOC regime is characterised by a clear reduction
of the growth rate y1To. The steepening of the plasma
density profile after the reduction of the external gas flow
leads to the suppression of the ITG instability and to the
improvement of the confinement in the IOC regime. First
measurements of the impurity densities in ohmic and
additionally heated discharges were performed. Densities of
C6+, Nel°+, Ney+, Nex' and Ox+ were determined. The
measured density profiles show qualitatively a good
agreement in their radial shape with the profiles calculated
by the impurity transport code RITM. However, there are
relatively large quantitative deviations of up to 50 $\%,$
which can be explained by inaccurate CX rate coefficients
for the not completely ionised particles. For clarifying
these discrepancies additional measurements of the impurity
densities under different plasma conditions are needed.},
