A supersonically expanding argon cascaded arc plasma, with difFerent amounts of hydrogen added (0, 0.7, and 1. 4 vol % H2), was studied using Thomson-Rayleigh scattering and optical emission spectroscopy. %'ith hydrogen added, the electron density profile as a function of the distance from the onset of the expansion shows a large extra ionization loss {compared to the pure argon case), especially after the stationary shock front. This anomalous loss of ionization is attributed to molecular processes, such as associative charge transfer between Ar+ and H2, and dissociative recombination of the resulting ArH+ molecular ion. Spatially resolved emission spectroscopy shows that in the expansion the radial hydrogen emission profiles are broader than the argon profiles. The addition of hydrogen appears to change the characteristic shock behavior of pure argon. For both the argon and the hydrogen system it is shown that the uppermost levels are in Saha equilibrium with their adjacent continuum.

a b s t r a c tNew linear plasma devices are currently being constructed or planned in the Trilateral Euregio Cluster (TEC) to meet the challenges with respect to plasma surface interactions in DEMO and ITER: i) MAGNUM-PSI (FOM), a high particle and power flux device with super-conducting magnetic field coils which will reach ITER-like divertor conditions at high magnetic field, ii) the newly proposed linear plasma device JULE-PSI (FZJ), which will allow to expose toxic and neutron activated target samples to ITER-like fluences and ion energies including in vacuo analysis of neutron activated samples, and iii) the plasmatron VISION I, a compact plasma device which will be operated inside the tritium lab at SCK-CEN Mol, capable to investigate tritium plasmas and moderately activated wall materials. This contribution shows the capabilities of the new devices and their forerunner experiments (Pilot-PSI at FOM and PSI-2 Jülich at FZJ) in view of the main objectives of the new TEC program on plasma surface interactions.

The choice was made to use a highpressure plasma source, the so-called cascaded arc source [15], which typically operates at pressures around 10 4 Pa, which is to be compared with the pressure of a few Pa in typical LaB 6 assisted arc discharges [3].…”

Magnum-PSI is an advanced linear plasma device uniquely capable of producing plasma conditions similar to those expected in the divertor of ITER both steady-state and transients. The machine is designed both for fundamental studies of plasma-surface interactions under high heat and particle fluxes, and as a high-heat flux facility for the tests of plasma-facing components under realistic plasma conditions. To study the effects of transient heat loads on a plasma-facing surface, a novel pulsed plasma source system as well as a high power laser are available. In this article, we will describe the capabilities of Magnum-PSI for high-heat flux tests of plasma-facing materials.
