Abstract Text:
The Lithium Tokamak Experiment (LTX) is a spherical tokamak designed to have a close-fitting low-recycling first wall conformal to the last closed flux surface. The wall is a set of four copper shells with stainless steel liners, onto which lithium is either evaporated or deposited directly (in liquid form). Approximately 90% of the surface area of the plasma column faces a lithium-coated wall. Two toroidal and two poloidal breaks in the shells account for the remaining 10% of the area, and this space is available for diagnostic access. Prior to and during the most recent vent of the vacuum vessel, many upgrades were performed on the diagnostic systems. New views for the CHERS system were added, improving the ability to measure the ion temperature and plasma flow profiles. Repairs to the existing magnetic diagnostics were completed and additional sensors were added to aid in equilibrium reconstructions. Other additions include: edge Thomson scattering channels, multiple Langmuir probes, and a multichannel microwave reflectometer (for density measurements). These, and the rest of the existing diagnostic tools (i.e. spectrometers, RGAs etc.) available on LTX are presented.
