Calculations of impurity radiation and its effects on tokamak experiments

Nuclear Fusion (1977)

Roderick V. Jensen D.E. Post W.H. Grasberger C. Bruce Tarter W.A. Lokke

The impurity radiation for typical tokamak parameters has been numerically calculated using an "average-ion model". Coronal equilibrium values for the emission of oxygen, iron, molybdenum, tungsten and gold were determined from the steady-state solutions of a set of related rate equations which included the effects of electron collisional ionization and excitation, dielectronic and radiative recombination, Δn = 0 and Δn ≠ 0 line transitions, and bremsstrahlung. The results for oxygen, iron, and molybdenum compare very well with other calculations. Since impurities diffusing in a tokamak are not expected to be in coronal equilibrium, time-dependent radiation calculations were also performed. A comparison of these non-equilibrium loss rates with those calculated under the assumption of coronal equilibrium indicates that coronal radiation calculations do not significantly underestimate the moderate- and high-Z impurity radiation losses for neoclassical diffusion velocities in large tokamaks, such as Princeton Large Torus and Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor. Finally, the detailed steady-state emission rates were used to investigate the effects of various concentrations of impurities on the neτ requirements for breakeven, ignition, and Q = 5 beam-driven reactor experiments.

Bruce Abstract Radiative recombination coefficients are calculated for complex ions of astrophysical interest. A least-squares procedure is used to obtain three-term parametric expressions which agree with the computed values to better than 3 percent over the temperature ranges of interest.

Coefficients Connecting the Stark and Field-Free Wavefunctions for Hydrogen

Journal of Mathematical Physics (1970)

C. Bruce Tarter

A general expression for the coefficients connecting the Stark (parabolic coordinates) and field-free (spherical coordinates) wavefunctions for hydrogen is obtained. The result, which involves a generalized hypergeometric function, has been numerically evaluated through principal quantum number n = 10.
