The ion (T i) and electron (T e) temperatures at the last closed flux surface (LCFS) during density scanning discharges and in the scrape-off layer (SOL) with a constant plasma density have been measured in the J-TEXT tokamak using a retarding field analyzer and four-tip Langmuir probe, respectively. Both the LCFS T i and T e are found to reduce with increasing central line-averaged density (). The temperature ratio (τ = T i/T e) is about 2 for a low (1.5 → 2.5 1019 m−3), decays in a moderate (2.5 → 3.5 1019 m−3) and tends to unity at a high (3.5 → 4.2 1019 m−3). This suggests that the ions and electrons at the LCFS (even in the SOL) are thermally decoupled at low or moderate and tend to full thermal coupling in the high-density plasmas. In addition, both T i and T e decrease with the radius and T e falls more steeply than T i due to faster parallel energy loss of electrons in the SOL. In contrast, τ rises with the radius, which indicates that the ions and electrons are much more thermally decoupled in the deeper SOL.

J-TEXT托卡马克边缘离子电子温度比的研究
在 J-TEXT tokamak 中测量了密度扫描放电期间最后一个闭合通量表面 (LCFS) 和具有恒定等离子体密度的刮除层 (SOL) 中的离子 ( T i ) 和电子 ( T e ) 温度分别使用阻滞场分析仪和四尖端朗缪尔探头。发现LCFS T i和T e都随着中心线平均密度 ( ) 的增加而减小。温度比(τ = Ť 我/ Ť ë)为约2的低(1.5→2.5 10 19米-3),在一个温和的衰变(2.5 → 3.5 10 19 m -3 ) 并且在高处趋于统一(3.5 → 4.2 10 19 m -3 )。这表明 LCFS(甚至在 SOL 中)的离子和电子在低或中等热解耦,并在高密度等离子体中趋于完全热耦合。此外,由于 SOL 中电子的平行能量损失更快,T i和T e 均随半径减小,并且T e比T i下降得更快。相比之下,τ随半径增加,这表明离子和电子在更深的 SOL 中热解耦的程度更高。
