Observation of dust particles ejected from the tungsten surface by transient heat flux with small-angle scattering of cw laser light
2017
Abstract A new test facility for experimental simulation of transient heat load expected in the ITER divertor during unmitigated events is developed. Application of a long-pulse (0.1–0.3 ms) wide-aperture (up to 2 cm 2 ) electron beam as a heating device provides powerful energy loads at a tungsten target with F HF > 250 MJ m −2 s −0.5 . Dynamics of tungsten particles in the ablation plume is investigated with a novel for PSI experiments small-angle laser light scattering technique. The threshold of intense droplet generation and dynamics of particles sizes are estimated.
