Abstract
Abstract We have measured extreme ultraviolet (EUV) and soft X-ray emission spectra of krypton (Kr) ions in the Large Helical Device (LHD) plasmas with Kr gas seeding intended for mitigating divertor heat loads. Several isolated lines or quasi-continuum bands from ion stages in the range of Kr5+–Kr25+ have been identified in a variety of wavelength ranges. The time trends of the line intensities indicate major contributions of ions with M-shell (n = 3) outermost electrons to the enhanced total radiation in the region closer to the core plasma. A line intensity ratio analysis for Kr25+ implies an unignorable contribution of the recombining component for the emissivity from this ion stage. A difference between the trends of neon (Ne) and Kr is also observed in a discharge with a combination of Kr and Ne seedings intended for more effective radiation enhancement.
