Abstract
In this report a concept of a new generation QSPA with external B-field up to 2 T has been discussed. A novel test-bed facility, which was recently constructed in Kharkov IPP NSC KIPT, has been described. It allows for a new level of plasma stream parameters and its wide variation in new QSPA-M device, as well as possible combination of steady-state and pulsed plasma loads to the materials during the exposures. First plasma is recently obtained. Careful optimization of the operational regimes of the plasma accelerator’s functional components and plasma dynamics in the magnetic system of QSPA-M device has started approaching step by step the necessary level of plasma parameters and their effective variation. The relevant results on plasma stream characterization are presented. Energy density distributions in plasma stream have been measured with calorimetry. Spectroscopy and probe technique have also been applied for plasma parameters measurements. The obtained results demonstrate the ability of QSPA-M to reproduce the ELM impacts in fusion reactor, both in terms of heat load and particle flux to the surface.
