Ray-tracing Analysis for Cross-polarization Scattering Diagnostic on MAST-Upgrade Spherical Tokamak
read the original abstract
A combined Doppler backscattering/cross-polarization scattering (DBS/CPS) system is being deployed on MAST-U, for simultaneous measurements of local density turbulence, turbulence flows, and magnetic turbulence. In this design, CPS shares the probing beam with the DBS and uses a separate parallel-viewing receiver system. In this study, we utilize a modified GENRAY 3D ray-tracing code, to simulate the propagation of the probing and scattered beams. The contributions of different scattering locations along the entire beam trajectories are considered, and the corresponding local $\tilde{\mathbf{B}}$ wavenumbers are estimated using the wave-vector matching criterion. The wavenumber ranges of the local $\tilde{\mathbf{B}}$ that is detectable to the CPS system are explored for simulated L- and H-mode plasmas.
