摘要:
Different methods are tested for the injection of small (<100 &mgr;m) pellets into tokamak plasmas using laser acceleration. In one type of method the pellets are formed in the random fragmentation process of a foil, while in another series of experiments aluminum granules were accelerated. In the first case pellet velocities up to 4 km/s were achieved, but the reproducibility was found to be poor. In the second case the reproducibility was much better, and pellets with diameters in the ten micron range were accelerated to 200–300 m/s velocity. With some further improvements, this technique may become a simple source of impurities for transport studies in fusion plasmas.
