Háček, Pavel ; Stöckel, Jan (vedoucí práce) ; Glosík, Juraj (oponent) ; Klír, Daniel (oponent)
Tato disertační práce prezentuje diagnostiku neutrálního lithiového svazku na tokamaku COMPASS v Praze. V technické části je popsán systém pro vstřikování urychleného lithiového svazku do tokamaku COMPASS a detekční systémy pro emisní spektroskopii na svazku. Fyzikální část popisuje analýzu naměřených spektroskopických dat zejména se zaměřením na hustotní fluktuace v okrajovém plazmatu. Je prezentována detailní analýza turbulentních struktur v neudržené části plazmatu a výzkum nestabilit typu ELM během módu plazmatu s vysokým udržením energie. Práce také představuje vývoj a měření nové unikátní diagnostiky - sondy atomového svazku - využívající detekce ionizované části svazku k měření okrajového profilu proudové hustoty plazmatu.

Plasma Boundary Reconstruction using Fast Camera on the COMPASS Tokamak
Háček, Pavel ; Berta, Miklós ; Stöckel, Jan ; Weinzettl, Vladimír ; Budai, C. ; Szabolics, T. ; Bencze, A.
Determination of the plasma boundary is an important task for safe operation of the tokamak and diagnostic systems as well as for correct interpretation of the measured data. Magnetic reconstruction codes routinely used to determine the shape of the plasma have a number of limitations which can make the reconstruction problematic. Recently, it has been demonstrated on several devices that it is possible to provide independent measurement of the plasma boundary by observation of the visiblelight emission using fast framing cameras. In the presented work, a single fast camera on the COMPASS tokamak was used for reconstruction of the optical plasma boundary, assuming a toroidally symmetric visible-light emission profile located in the edge of plasma. As a first result, application of the method on D-shaped COMPASS shot 7145 and its comparison with magnetic reconstruction from the EFIT code is given. Both methods show good agreement with average difference 0.5 cm.

New Detection System for Fast Density Measurements Using the Lithium Beam on the COMPASS Tokamak
Háček, Pavel ; Berta, M. ; Stöckel, Jan ; Weinzettl, Vladimír ; Anda, G. ; Bencze, A. ; Zoletnik, S.
The lithium beam diagnostic at COMPASS is designed for measurements of the edge plasma density profile and fluctuations and edge plasma current fluctuations. The principle of the diagnostic is detection of light coming from collisionally excited Li atoms — beam emission spectroscopy (BES) - and a direct detection of the ionized part of the beam (atomic beam probe — ABP). For slow density measurements a charged coupled device (CCD) camera has been installed and is already working. For fast twodimensional density profile and density fluctuation measurements an array of avalanche photodiode detectors (APDs) will be used. The two-dimensional resolution of the measurement will be possible using fast poloidal deflection and chopping of the beam. Apart from routine density profile measurement, the diagnostic will be capable of investigating the turbulent structures in the edge plasma by cross-correlating the signals coming from poloidally deflected virtual beams.

Diagnostic Lithium Beam System for COMPASS Tokamak
Háček, P. ; Weinzettl, Vladimír ; Stöckel, Jan ; Anda, G. ; Veres, G. ; Zoletnik, S. ; Berta, M.
The COMPASS tokamak has been re-installed in IPP Prague after its transport from Culham in UK. A Diagnostic Lithium Beam system is being developed for COMPASS tokamak. Its main goal is to provide edge density (Beam Emission Spectroscopy) and edge plasma current (Atomic Beam Probe) measurements to address the scientific programme focused on H-mode and pedestal physics. It features several newly designed and developed parts, including improved emitter and neutralizer. Atomic Beam Probe is an innovatory diagnostic for measurement of poloidal magnetic field and plasma current fluctuations in the plasma edge. Currently, the system is connected to tokamak (August 2011) and first experiments with plasma were performed. The system still undergoes vacuum, neutralization and high voltage testing. This article reviews the concept and current state of the Lithium Beam diagnostic for COMPASS and provides its first test results.

Atomic Beam Probe Diagnostic for COMPASS Tokamak
Háček, Pavel ; Weinzettl, Vladimír ; Stöckel, Jan ; Anda, G. ; Veres, G. ; Zoletnik, S. ; Berta, M.
The COMPASS tokamak has been re-installed in IPP Prague after its transport from Culham in UK. New diagnostic tools are under development to address the scientific program focused on H-mode and pedestal physics. Atomic Beam Probe (ABP) is an innovatory diagnostic for measurement of poloidal magnetic field and plasma current fluctuations in the plasma edge. It is planned to be an extension of the beam emission spectroscopy system by collecting the lithium ions stemming from beam ionization. In the first approximation, ionization is proportional to the local plasma density. The poloidal magnetic field moves the ions toroidally. Therefore, the two-dimensional poloidal-toroidal measurement of the ion current in the exit port reveals information on both the density and magnetic field profiles, thereby also on the edge current profile. This article reviews the concept of the ABP diagnostic and the status of its installation on the COMPASS tokamak.
