Strathclyde, Glasgow, G4 0NG, UKPresent day large plasma
machines use a divertorcontaining a cold, dense plasma to
act as a buffer between the hot core and the plasma facing
material surfaces, providingprotection forthese surfaces.
The accurate prediction of the behaviour of the divertor
plasma, including the power radiated by fuel and impurity
species, is therefore crucial and requires transport
modelling of the plasma edge and divertor. Suchtransport
codes rely on the availability of accurate atomic and
molecular data both for the fuel and impurity species.
Recent workhas resulted in a new atomic dataset for
hydrogenic He II (He+)[1,2]and this is being tested in
EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations. Heliumis widely used in
laboratory fusion experiments both as a fuel asin the first,
non-nuclearphase of ITER, as a minority gas for RF
heatingand will occur asash fromthe thermonuclear reactions.
Theuseof He also has the advantage of testing the connection
ofthe atomic physics data with the transport codes without
the confusion that can result from the emissionfrom
molecules which cannot be avoided in D fuelled simulations.
This is particularly pertinent sinceextra terms relating to
the potential energy are sometimesincluded when the
transport model accesses the atomic data, these in addition
to the required kinetic energy contributions. This is the
case whenthe EDGE2D transport code accesses atomic data
contained inthe ADAS databaseand it is necessaryto
understand whether the differences due to these potential
energy terms are significant. Although agreement between
ADASand the new datahas been found for the modelled power
radiated by He II, there are significant differences for
other terms affectingthe electron power lossused in the
simulations, particularly at low temperatures. Lawson et
al.[3] demonstrated that the simulated temperatures were
particularly sensitive to this term and thismay limit the
lowest temperatures that can be achieved in the simulations.
Since the radiated power increaseswith decreasing
temperature,anyrestriction of the temperaturecouldexplain
the previously observed discrepancy in the measured and
simulated radiated powers [4,5].EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations
for discharges with a high concentration $(~80-90\%)$ of He
are being run to compare the effect of using ADASdataand the
new He II atomic database.[1] Lawsonet al., 2019, J. Phys.
