- 요약Magnetic confinement fusion provides an attractive avenue towards carbon-neutral energy production through the generation of a burning plasma composed of deuterium and tritium. While several magnetic confinement concepts exist, the tokamak has so far demonstrated the highest performance, in particular in its so-called High-confinement mode, which is characterized by a steep gradient in pressure at the plasma boundary. However, the sharp pressure gradients and strong localized currents in the H-mode pedestal can drive a range of instabilities that in turn drive thermal and particle transport. Prominent modes predicted to arise in the pedestal include Microtearing Modes (MTMs), Kinetic Ballooning Modes (KBMs), and drift wave instabilities. Microtearing modes are of particular interest as they are predicted to cause substantial electron thermal transport in the H-mode pedestal, limiting fusion performance on high-power devices. However, their narrow predicted structure and low amplitudes make characterizing them challenging.Localized 2D measurements of low-to-intermediate wavenumber density fluctuations in the edge of DIII-D H-mode plasmas have revealed a clear signature of microtearing modes during the inter-ELM cycle in the steep gradient region. These measurements were obtained using the new high radial resolution multichannel Charge eXchange Imaging (CXI) diagnostic that measures the intensity of the CVI n=8-7 hydrogenic C 5+ emission at 529 nm emitted after charge exchange reactions between neutral beam atoms and the intrinsic carbon ion population in a 2-dimensional grid. Fluctuations are measured in a 12 (radial) x 2 (poloidal) array at 2 MHz with a resolution of ∆R ∼ 0.4 cm and ∆Z ∼ 1.2 cm. The use of the carbon charge exchange signal improves radial resolution when compared to BES through the elimination of the finite lifetime effect, optimized optics and detectors. First measurements with CXI at DIII-D demonstrate excellent spatial resolution and reasonable signal to noise ratios at all frequencies.In this thesis, the new CXI system is employed in conjunction with the Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) system at the DIII-D tokamak to characterize pedestal turbulence during an experiment featuring Low and High-Confinement Hydrogen plasmas with lower (∼ 4.0 x 1013 cm−3 ) and higher (∼ 8.5 x 1013 cm−3 ) densities. Under high-density H-mode conditions, microtearing mode-like fluctuations are observed that peak near ρ = 0.97 with a radial full-width half maximum of 1.0 cm and a normalized density fluctuation amplitude peak of dnC /nC ∼ 5%. The mode additionally features a broad spectral width from 20-180 kHz and propagates in the electron diamagnetic direction in the plasma frame at a velocity similar to the electron diamagnetic velocity. The mode exhibits a temporally bursting behavior that periodically precedes ELMs, suggesting a stiff gradient-driven instability. The comparison of carbon fluctuation amplitudes with electron fluctuation amplitudes measured by the BES system, in conjunction with magnetic fluctuation measurements performed by the Radial Interferometer Polarimeter (RIP) System, suggests that the mode has a clear electromagnetic signature. These observations are consistent with the presence of microtearing mode-induced turbulence. The new CXI measurements enable an enhanced analysis of the mode's radial structure, and CXI measurements indicate that microtearing modes appear in high collisionality plasmas. These findings provide valuable test cases for theories under development that will predict the effects of MTMs on the next generation of tokamak experiments including SPARC and ITER.
