Research on Beam Emission Spectroscopy Combined HL-2A Tokamak Real Experimental Data With Spectra Simulation Code

A beam emission spectroscopy (BES) diagnostic system has been developed on HL-2A tokomak. Combined with motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostics, the BES could assess the radial electric field <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$E_{r}$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and the safety factor <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$q$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, which play an important role in plasma control and impurity transport processes. A simulation of spectra (SOS) code has been developed for spectra simulations based on various tokamak devices’ real situations. It can be used for designing visible spectral diagnostics systems and predicting their performance. In this paper, based on the HL-2A real experimental running parameters, we used the SOS code to simulate BES and MSE spectra. These spectra were consistent with experimental data fitting results. The SOS code was also able to get the safety factor <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$q$ </tex-math></inline-formula> and other parameters. The results reveal that the SOS code could be used to design similar diagnostic systems for ITER in the future.
