Inference of molecular divertor density from filtered camera analysis of molecularly induced Balmer line emission during detachment in JET L-mode plasmas

Here a previously presented Monte Carlo method for estimating local plasma conditions in 2D based on intensity ratios of deuterium Balmer D α , D γ and D ε lines was amended to consider also the D α and D γ emission contributions arising from molecular processes. The obtained estimates were used to infer the molecular divertor density with the help of the molecular databases of EIRENE. The method was benchmarked against EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations and observed to reproduce the molecularly induced emission fractions and the molecular divertor densities primarily within 25% of the references. Experimental analysis of a JET L-mode density scan suggested molecularly induced D α and D γ contributions of up to 60–70% and 20%, respectively, during the process of detachment. The independent estimates of the molecular divertor density inferred from the obtained molecularly induced D α and D γ intensities agree within uncertainties with each other. Both estimates show the molecular density increasing up to approximately 1.0–2.0 x 10 20 m -3 at the outer strike point in deep detachment with its ratio to the local electron density agreeing with EDGE2D-EIRENE predictions within the scatter of the experimental data.

A Possible Future for Space-Based Interferometry

We address the question of space interferometry following the recent outcome of the science themes selection by ESA for the L2/L3 missions slots. We review the current context of exoplanetary sciences and its impact for an interferometric mission. We argue that space interferometry will make a major step forward when the scientific communities interested in this technique will merge their efforts into a coherent technology development plan.

SWOT Oceanography and Hydrology Data Product Simulators

The proposed Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission would demonstrate a new measurement technique using radar interferometry to obtain wide-swath measurements of water elevation at high resolution over ocean and land, addressing the needs of both the hydrology and oceanography science communities. To accurately evaluate the performance of the proposed SWOT mission, we have developed several data product simulators at different levels of fidelity and complexity.
