Determination of rate coefficients for fusion-relevant atoms and molecules by modelling and measurement in the boundary layer of TEXTOR

Abstract

Rate coefficients for the excitation and ionization of neutral as well as singly ionized particles and-predominantly-their ratios S(D)/XB, which are important for the conversion of photon into particle fluxes in ionizing fusion boundary plasma, have been modelled and experimentally determined in boundary plasmas for fusion-relevant species such as He I, Li I, C I, B I&II, O I&II, Si I&II, Mo I, W I&II, H-2, CH(D), C-2.
