Abstract-During the last years electron cyclotron heating (ECH) has proven to be one of the most attractive heating schemes for stellarators, as it provides net current free plasma start up and heating. Both, the stellarator Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), which is under construction at IPP-Greifswald, Germany, and the ITER tokamak, which will be built at Cadarache, France, will be equipped with a strong EC-heating and current drive system. independently. The polarization as well as the poloidal and toroidal launch angle can be adjusted individually to provide optimum conditions for different heating and current drive scenarios.

“…Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) is the main heating mechanism in Wendelstein 7-X [1][2][3]. The ECRH system is capable of delivering up to 5 MW at 140 GHz in the first operational phase OP1.1 and up to 9 MW in the next campaign OP1.2 scheduled for 2017.…”

Inference of the microwave absorption coefficient from stray radiation measurements in Wendelstein 7-X

The efficiency of electron cyclotron heating is determined by the microwave absorption of the plasma. Good microwave absorption is also crucial for the machine safety. In this paper we present a method of evaluating the microwave absorption coefficient from stray radiation measurements. Evolution of the X2 microwave absorption coefficient in Wendelstein 7-X during the start up phase is presented in this paper, as well as an estimate of the O2 absorption coefficient.

“…1 Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) at 140 GHz is used as the main heating mechanism in the machine. [1][2][3][4] The ECRH system will deliver up to 10 MW of microwave power in continuous regime. 2 The ECRH system is a main source of stray radiation in Wendelstein 7-X and the contribution of ECE is negligible.…”

Here we report the first measurements of the power levels of stray radiation in the vacuum vessel of Wendelstein 7-X using absolutely calibrated sniffer probes. The absolute calibration is achieved by using calibrated sources of stray radiation and the implicit measurement of the quality factor of the Wendelstein 7-X empty vacuum vessel. Normalized absolute calibration coefficients agree with the cross-calibration coefficients that are obtained by the direct measurements, indicating that the measured absolute calibration coefficients and stray radiation levels in the vessel are valid. Close to the launcher, the stray radiation in the empty vessel reaches power levels up to 340 kW/m 2 per MW injected beam power. Furthest away from the launcher, i.e., half a toroidal turn, still 90 kW/m 2 per MW injected beam power is measured. [http://dx
