Abstract
Formation of dust particles and clusters is observed in almost all modern fusion devices. Accumulation of dust in next-generation thermonuclear installations can significantly affect plasma parameters and lead to accumulation of unacceptably large amounts of tritium. The use of a specially developed electrostatic probe is planned in the international thermonuclear experimental reactor ITER to collect dust for further analysis. The article describes a numerical model of movement of dust particles in an electrostatic probe. Dust particle trajectories inside the probe are analyzed. Several electrostatic probe design modifications are proposed on the basis of the analysis in order to increase the efficiency of dust collection.
