Abstract:

The fast-ion confinement properties with the three dimensional magnetic field components are investigated by using the FICXS-diagnostics on LHD. The dependence of fast-ion confinement properties on the Fourier-components of magnetic fields are evaluated by changing the axes of magnetic configuration. The experimental observation qualitatively agrees with the theoretical prediction by GNET. This implies tPhe improvement of fast-ion confinement with the reduction of the sideband components. On the other hand, the improvement of fast-ion confinement with the toroidal mirror components was not observed clearly by the experiment although this might be due to the limitation of observation area with the observation geometry.
