Multiparametric data processing on fusion device stellarator L-2M

Abstract

In studying the high-temperature plasma physics, the researcher is faced with the need to process large amounts of semi-structured data. Dozens of multi-channel diagnostics, the results of which are multi-million ensembles of time samples of plasma signals, are usually installed at the same time in thermonuclear devices. These samples contain information necessary to understand the mechanisms of relation between plasma macroparameters (plasma density and temperature, plasma current, magnetic field, auxiliary heating power, etc) and plasma microparameters determined by turbulence (energy, spectral composition, amplitude density distribution, etc). The methods of analysis of plasma signals based on the processing of a single time realization of turbulence cannot be used as a basis for comparison with macroparameters and identification of new patterns of plasma containment in a magnetic trap. The main objective of this work is to obtain information about the relationship between the macro- and microparameters of the plasma based on the structuring of the acquired data and its multi-parameter processing using the modern software and hardware. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
