Measurement of BAAE and RSAE Mode Structures

with high-k Scattering System

Woochang Lee

High-k Scattering System

• 280 GHz (=1 mm) scattering system

• 5 detection channels (5 discrete k┴)

• Can cover arbitrary radial position from ~105 cm to ~145 cm

• The scattering volume is spatially localized (w = 3 cm, Lz = ~ 5 cm)

• Sensitive to the radial fluctuation

• Will be absolutely calibrated soon

Experiment Plan

• Obtain high-k scattering data at 8~9 R-positions from ~115 cm to ~145 cm for several plasma conditions.

Need 7 control access to change launching mirror angle
