Abstract

A diagnostic neutral beam will be installed on Alcator C-Mod for measurement of ñi, nz, Tz, vθ, vφ, and j. The beam will be used primarily for the study of thermal transport, Er in H-mode discharges, and to provide critical profile and turbulence data for tests of theoretically based models of turbulence and transport. The beam selected for this work was used on Texas Experimental Tokamak and is rated at 50 kV and 6 A of extracted current in hydrogen. It can produce beams of deuterium or helium as well. It is currently being reconfigured for installation on C-Mod. Capabilities for the intended measurements are described using simulations based on measured C-Mod profiles.
