The MT-1M tokamak

MT-1M is a small-scale tokamak experimental device. Due to its small size its scientific goal is not directly to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion, but rather the investigation of plasma behaviour. The main parameters of the device are:

           Major radius of torus ......... 40 cm
           Minor radius of torus ......... 12.5 cm
           Plasma minor radius ........... 6-10 cm
           Toroidal magnetic induction ... 1 Tesla
           Maximum plasma current ........ 40 kA
           Typical electron density ...... 1-3 10^13 cm^-3
           Typical plasma temperature .... 100-300 eV (1-3 million K)
           Discharge time ................ 8 ms
           Working gas ................... Hydrogen

Scientific research projects at the MT-1M tokamak

• Study of impurity micro-pellet ablation and pellet cloud behaviour
• Investigation of impurity transport processes in the plasma
• X-ray tomography (Mostly numerical methods)
• Investigation of atomic physics processes of multiply charged impurity ions
• Analysis of impurity material deposition on solid probes
