Abstract:
We have experimentally studied the influence of toroidal magnetic field $(B_T)$ and plasma current $(I_p)$ on the capture and confinement of energetic ions (EIs) formed upon ionization of a neutral beam injected in a tokamak. Based on the results of measurements of the flux of 2.45-MeV fusion neutrons, it is concluded that the amount of EIs significantly grows with increasing $B_T$ from 0.7 to 1.0 T and $I_p$ from 140 to 180 kA. In addition to the classical Coulomb slowing down, a supplementary channel of EI losses is found that accounts for a 15% decrease in their confinement time.
