Abstract

A specific experimental apparatus consisting of an ion source and a detector for the investigation of the interaction between supra-thermal ions and drift-wave turbulence is developed on the TORoidal Plasma Experiment (TORPEX). Due to the small plasma temperature (~5eV), a spatially localized, small-size ion source (~4cm) mounted inside the vacuum vessel, with relatively low ion energy (~100eV-1keV) can be used. The source consists of an aluminosilicate Li-6 ion emitter (6 mm diameter, 10-30μA current) installed on a 2D poloidally moving system. The location, energy and current density profile of the ion beam will be measured using a 2D movable gridded energy analyzer.
