摘要
Argon has been injected into the private flux zone of the Alcator C-Mod divertor and its transport into the confined plasma studied. The injected gas pulse lasts for about 200 ms, but the impurity concentration increases to an equilibrium level and remains there for similar to 200 ms. It is clear that the argon is acting as a recycling impurity. Nevertheless it has been observed that less than 0.5% of the injected atoms reach the confined plasma and that the percentage decreases with increasing plasma density. The good impurity screening is discussed in terms of the ionisation mean free path in the divertor.
