Title:

Observation of Dusts by Laser Scattering Method in the JIPPT-IIU Tokamak

Date of publication:

Key words:

Abstract:

Laser scattering signals which indicate the presence of small dusts ( diameter leq 2 mu m) were occasionally observed in the JIPPT-IIU tokamak chamber. This phenomenon was reproduced by deliberately spreading carbon dusts from the top of the vacuum chamber. No noticeable effect on the plasma was observed for dust-fall of up to at least 10^6 dusts (10 mu g) in 20 ms during discharge. Dusts fallen just before the plasma start-up seemed to be confined but soon be ejected in less than 30 ms.
