RETRACTED: Structural properties of resonant electric and magnetic fields correlation with X-ray generation and MHD activity in tokamak

Abstract

Abstract In this research we have investigated on a Runaway electron generation in IR-T1 tokamak. For this purpose we used the hard X-ray spectroscopy and magnetic diagnostic. Hard X-ray emission produces due to collision of the Runaway electrons with the plasma particles or tokamak limiters. Runaway electrons in tokamaks can cause serious damage to the first wall of the reactor and decrease its life time. Also, hard X-ray emission generated from high energy Runaway electrons lead to the plasma energy loss. Therefore, suggesting methods to minimize Runaway electrons in tokamaks are very important. Applying external resonant field is one of the methods for controlling the Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) activity. Present study attempts to investigate the effects of limiter biasing and Resonant Helical magnetic Field (RHF) on the generation of Runaway electrons. For this purpose, plasma parameters such as plasma current, MHD oscillation, loop voltage, emitted hard X-ray intensity, H α impurity, safety factor in the presence and absence of external fields, were measured. Frequency activity was investigated with FFT analysis. The results show that applying resonant fields can control the MHD activity, and then hard X-ray emitted from the Runaway electrons.
