AbstractA code that models signals produced by charge-exchange reactions between fast ions and injected neutral beams in tokamak plasmas is described. With the fast-ion distribution function as input, the code predicts the efflux to a neutral particle analyzer (NPA) diagnostic and the photon radiance of Balmer-alpha light to a fast-ion Dα (FIDA) diagnostic. Reactions with both the primary injected neutrals and with the cloud of secondary “halo” neutrals that surround the beam are treated. Accurate calculation of the fraction of neutrals that occupy excited atomic states (the collisional-radiative transition equations) is an important element of the code. Comparison with TRANSP output and other tests verify the solutions. Judicious selection of grid size and other parameters facilitate efficient solutions. The output of the code has been validated by FIDA measurements on DIII-D but further tests are warranted.

In conjunction with energy and particle fuelling, considerable mechanical or electromagnetic momenta are transferred to fusion plasmas, e.g. through neutral beam injection, limiter recycling, pellet injection and RF heating.The build up of electric fields through charge separation in the momentum absorption process is estimated for somewhat simplified cases of neutral particle injection and recycling.It is shown that for the parameters of large present-day tokamak devices remarkable electric field strengths of the order of 5 • 105 Volt/m can be created both in the plasma regions of beam absortion and near limiters.
