Impact of ICRF on impurity production in TEXTOR
Presented by Marek Rubel

Outline:
• Collector probe data
• Analysis of deposits from ICRF antenna grill
Impact of ICRF on impurity production Collector probe data (1)
Probe exposure in time-resolved mode to ICRF heated pulses.• Time resolution: 125 ms• Probe position: 25 – 85 mm in the SOL; data presented for 37 mm.
Message:
• Increase of metal (Ni, Cr, Fe) impurity fluxes during ICRF heated pulses.
• Increased deposition rates are measured also for deuterium and oxygen.

Composition of co-deposits:Deposition zone on limiter and antenna grill
Messages:
Differences in the content of elements
• More light elements – C and B - on ALT-II toroidal belt limiter
• Prevalence of heavy elements on the antenna grill
Distribution of elements in co-deposits on the toroidal belt limiter
Message:Heavier elements embedded in an uniform carbon matrix.

Si
Distribution of elements in co-deposits from the antenna grill
Message:Distinct separation of elements in co-deposits from the antenna.
• Increase of impurity fluxes in the SOL during ICRF phase.
• ICRF-induced modification of the SOL (edge temperature, electric sheath, ion trajectories) influence the structure and composition of co-deposits.
• The increase of deuterium atomic density (1.5-3 times) and ion energies (up to 5 times) cause preferential removal of carbon from co-deposits on the antenna.
