Abstract
For the first time nitrogen-15 gas was used as a tracer for determining of global nitrogen retention in ASDEX-Upgrade. The injection done from the midplane gas inlet on the last day of the experimental campaign was followed by retrieval and ex situ analyses of many limiter and divertor tiles. The study was done by nuclear reaction analysis using the 15N(1H,γ4He)12C process and detecting both γ radiation and 4He. The highest and peaked concentrations of 15N, 8×1016cm2, were found on limiters close to the injection point, while fairly homogeneous flat profiles were measured on most of the divertor plates. The measured concentrations are compared to an ASCOT simulation of the injection.
