Abstract

The invention discloses an optical mass spectrometer diagnosis technology for distinguishing helium and deuterium Tokamak residual gas by using penning discharge, and the difference between the characteristic spectrums He-I and D-alpha of the low temperature plasma emission spectrums produced by D2 and He discharge is utilized. The D2 and He to be measured are introduced into an ionization chamber, and a penning discharge system installed at one side of the ionization chamber ionizes the gas to be measured to produce low temperature plasma; then the He-I spectral line and D-alpha spectrum generated by the plasma are analyzed, so as to measure the absolute content of the two gases (He and D2). The invention realizes the diagnosis technology for real-time monitoring of the evolution of He and D2 in Tokamak, thus solving the problem that a commercial mass spectrometer cannot distinguish He and D2 due to close molecular mass numbers (He:4.003, D2:4.028). The diagnosis technology provides direct engineering and physical experiences for ITER and possible future in situ measurement of He / D2 on DEMO.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to the field of measurement of neutral gas in a divertor of a fusion reactor, specifically utilizing the different characteristic wavelengths of helium and deuterium discharges in the low-temperature plasma generated by Penning discharges, and designing through the combination of optical fibers, lens groups, and filters, etc. It is a technical means to quantitatively measure the partial pressure of helium and deuterium. Background technique: [0002] In the tokamak fusion reaction, no matter D-D or D-T, part of its energy is released in the form of a particle (which becomes helium after neutralization). In order to prevent the reaction product (He) from gradually diluting the fuel and eventually causing the plasma to go out, the He generated by the reaction must be extracted from the plasma as fast as possible in the next generation thermonuclear fusion device (ITER) (the content of He in the plasma must be less than 10%, otherw...
