JT-60SA is the new tokamak device that is being built in Japan under the Broader Approach Satellite Tokamak Programme and the Japanese National Programme [JT-60SA Research Plan, Version 3.3, March 2016, www.jt60sa.org/pdfs/JT-60SA_Res_Plan.pdf] and will operate as a satellite machine for ITER. To provide valuable information for the steady state scenario for ITER and the design of DEMO, a high ?N scenario is included in the program, where the real-time control of the q-profile is needed. In this work we present a study of the geometry of the polarimetry chords, derived from a true realistic CAD-driven feasibility study, aiming at an optimization in terms of q-profile reconstruction, using the V3FIT code. Some magnetic and kinetic measurements are considered along with the FIR poloidal polarimeter in order to assess the possibility of estimating q in the core with the required accuracy (around 10%) providing a diagnostic for a continuous measurement useful in high density pulses where MSE measurements would not have adequate time resolution.

Abstract
JT-60SA is the new tokamak device that is being built in Japan under the Broader Approach Satellite Tokamak Programme and the Japanese National Programme [JT-60SA Research Plan, Version 3.3, March 2016, www.jt60sa.org/pdfs/JT-60SA_Res_Plan.pdf] and will operate as a satellite machine for ITER. To provide valuable information for the steady state scenario for ITER and the design of DEMO, a high ?N scenario is included in the program, where the real-time control of the q-profile is needed. In this work we present a study of the geometry of the polarimetry chords, derived from a true realistic CAD-driven feasibility study, aiming at an optimization in terms of q-profile reconstruction, using the V3FIT code. Some magnetic and kinetic measurements are considered along with the FIR poloidal polarimeter in order to assess the possibility of estimating q in the core with the required accuracy (around 10%) providing a diagnostic for a continuous measurement useful in high density pulses where MSE measurements would not have adequate time resolution.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
