The J1-60 neutral beam system has been successfully operated for 4 years under a wide range of operation conditions: beam energy of 30-75 keV, beam pulse up to 6 s, injection power up to 26 MW with hydrogen beams. The maximum injection power of 26 MW was obtained at 73 keV with a two-stage accelerator. In a lower energy beam injection with a single-stage accelerator, the beam power at 38 keV reached 18 MW. The system could routinely inject a nominal power of 20 MW with high reliability. The beam energy could be changed during a beam pulse, e.g. from 40 keV to 70 keV for 1.5 s. Helium beams were injected with one of the beamlines for a simulation experiment of helium ash, and the injected power was 0.4 MW at 31 keV. The helium beams could deposit in the vicinity of the plasma center column. Helium gas in the beamline was evacuated by SF6 gas condensed cryo-sorption pumps whose pumping speed was about 800 m3/s.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
