Development of the Langmuir probe under q-distribution for NCST
Source abstract
Abstract
The Langmuir probe is one of the important diagnostic methods for measuring the edge plasma parameters of tokamak. A quadruple Langmuir probe (QLP) system was designed and built on the NanChang Spherical tokamak (NCST). The nonextensive single Langmuir probe (NSLP) theory [Qiu et al., Phys. Rev. E 101, 043206 (2020)] is extended to the nonextensive QLP (NQLP) theory, and then the electron temperature and electron number density of the edge plasma in NCST are obtained. The results show that the differences between the edge plasma parameters (electron temperature and number density) under the nonextensive statistics and those under the Maxwellian distribution are more than 50%, which indicates that the nonextensive parameters have an important influence on the actual measurement of QLP.
