摘要
Recent Tore Supra results supporting the feasibility of high-confinement. long duration discharges are reported. Two-minute discharges with improved confinement have been obtained. This progress is largely due to improvements in the operating control system of Tore Supra. which now allows real-rime feedback control of global plasma parameters. A clear correlation between improved confinement and current profile shape has been established. Transport barriers for electron heat diffusion are observed in experiments where the magnetic shear is weak or negative in the central part of the plasma. These observations strongly support development of new current drive schemes for current profile control. Considerable progress concerning particle and heat exhaust has also been achieved. A new technique allowing conditioning in the presence of a toroidal magnetic field has been implemented. A vented limiter has been tested as a means of particle exhaust through collection of neutrals, and its performance is compared with that of a "classical", ion collecting throat limiter. The knowledge gained from extensive long pulse experimentation has been used to develop a new generation of plasma facing components. which will permit further development of the long discharge capability of Tore Supra.
