Abstract

With the help of the linear divertor simulation device Magnum-PSI, a fluctuation investigation of the impact of the target plate geometry was conducted. We simultaneously quantify coherent low-frequency fluctuations with a newly built 70-GHz microwave reflectometry system, a reciprocating probe, a light emission detector system, and a fast-framing camera system. The strong low-frequency fluctuations were observed at both the electron density and the plasma radiations by moving the target plate along the magnetic field line. Furthermore, a strong peak in fluctuation intensity and the influence of the target plate tilt angle on the fluctuation intensity were noted.
