First investigation on plasma impurities of the IR-T1 tokamak

One of the best ways to get information about plasma and interactions within it, is the study on visible light emitted from plasma. Detection of the emission spectrum from plasma leads to identify the spectral lines of ions and impurities inside the plasma and measurement of all related parameters to ion flux such as velocity and temperature. The first measurement of impurities into the IR-T1 tokamak plasma is done by spectroscopic technique. The CCD-based spectrometer device with the wavelength range of 400-550 nm is used to detection the spectrum emitted from the plasma. The impurities into the plasma in the intended wavelength range are identified. Furthermore, the Doppler broadening of the most intense peaks of impurities and their temperatures are measured. The methods in this paper can be used on all fusion devices.
