Abstract

The shift and fine line shape of H α emissions in large helical device (LHD) plasmas have been analyzed by a high resolution spectroscopic system. The minimum detectable velocity for hydrogen atoms is 10 3 m/s. This is confirmed by a newly developed light source with a magnetic field of 1.13 T. In a long-pulse NBI plasma of LHD, hydrogen atoms move toward the plasma from the divertor with velocity of 10 4 m/s. Fine spectral profile of H α was measured with a linear polarizer and it shows an asymmetric structure. The spectrum consists of cold component shifted to the blue side and tail extended to 656.0 nm. The energy corresponding to the tail is from 8 to 100 eV.
