Abstract

The absolutely calibrated LLAMA diagnostic (LLAMA is the Lyman-Alpha Measurement Apparatus) has been recently installed on DIII-D [1, 2] to determine the neutral gas density (n₀) profile and thereby, quantify the edge particle source in deuterium plasmas. In the initial diagnostic commissioning, absolutely calibrated Ly-α brightness profiles were measured at the high field side (HFS) and low field side (LFS) in high confinement mode with forward and reversed toroidal magnetic field (B_t) direction. The deuterium n₀profiles and ionization rate profiles are reconstructed from the inverted Ly-α emissivity profiles, in combination with the electron density (n_e) and electron temperature (T_e) profiles, solving the rate equation system for the deuterium atom occupation density. LLAMA measurements exhibit HFS-LFS asymmetries in pedestal particle source, which depend on the B_tdirection highlighting the importance of scrape-off layer (SOL) drift direction and the necessity to consider the full poloidal particle source distribution in edge transport analyses.
