Simulated plasma facing component measurements for an in situ surface diagnostic on Alcator C-Mod

The ideal in situ plasma facing component (PFC) diagnostic for magnetic fusion devices would perform surface element and isotope composition measurements on a shot-to-shot ( ∼ 10 min) time scale with ∼ 1 μm depth and ∼ 1 cm spatial resolution over large areas of PFCs. To this end, the experimental a...

description The ideal in situ plasma facing component (PFC) diagnostic for magnetic fusion devices would perform surface element and isotope composition measurements on a shot-to-shot ( ∼ 10 min) time scale with ∼ 1 μm depth and ∼ 1 cm spatial resolution over large areas of PFCs. To this end, the experimental adaptation of the customary laboratory surface diagnostic—nuclear scattering of MeV ions—to the Alcator C-Mod tokamak is being guided by ACRONYM, a Geant4 synthetic diagnostic. The diagnostic technique and ACRONYM are described, and synthetic measurements of film thickness for boron-coated PFCs are presented.
