fding@ipp.ac.cnAn effective control of W erosion at the wall
is not only a concern for the lifetime of Plasma-facing
Material (PFM), but also a prerequisite for maintaining a
low W concentration in the plasma core. In high confinement
plasma discharges, a large amount of energetic particles in
pedestal are ejected onto divertor targets in a timescale
less than 1 ms during the burst of edge localized mode
(ELM), even penetrating the detached divertor edge and
inducing significant W erosion at the divertor targets [1],
which contributes most of the W source in H-mode plasma and
needs to be well understood and controlled. In EAST,
intra-ELM W sources are resolved and studied via photo
multiplier tube (PMT) measurements with optical filters. The
non-W spectral emissions passing through the narrowband
filter were deducted via a cross-calibration with
spectrometer system with high spectral resolution. It is
observed that the intra-ELM W erosion has a linear
dependence on the plasma energy loss during each ELM burst
when the carbon content in plasma is maintained at a
relatively low level. However, high carbon content in plasma
can alter this dependence by inducing stronger W sputtering
even with a low ELM energy loss. In helium plasma
discharges, the ELM-induced W sputtering behaves more like
those in deuterium (D) plasmas with high C content,
indicating the effect of main ion mass. ELM frequency
effects on divertor W source are addressed in two different
regimes, the natural ELMs and the resonant magnetic
perturbation (RMP) mitigated ELMs. It is found that
intra-ELM W erosion rate with natural ELMs can roll over
after a certain ELM frequency, that is, firstly rise and
then drop with the increase of ELM frequency, while a
continuous growth of intra-ELM W erosion rate is observed
with RMP-mitigated ELMs from around 40 Hz to 300 Hz. These
should be the major reason for the indistinctive mitigation
of total W source, including intra- and inter-ELM W sources,
with the increase of ELM frequency Moreover, the asymmetric
distribution of W source in the divertor during H mode
discharges are investigated both poloidally and toroidally.
The ELM burst can induce an obviously stronger W erosion at
outer divertor than at inner divertor, which can be
influenced by the toroidal magnetic field direction, plasma
density as well as the ELM-induced plasma energy loss. The
toroidal non-axisymmetric distribution at the outer divertor
can be observed by rotating RMP field toroidally,
characterized by local W erosion peaks in toroidal
direction. The two poloidally separated W sources at the
divertor targets exhibit different responses to the neon
seeding, mitigated around the strike point, while enhanced
in the outer one, which could enhance the leakage of W
impurity into main plasma.[1] S. Brezinsek et al., Nucl.
