A QSS approach for particle source identification in Tore Supra tokamak

International audienceIn this work, we consider the problem of particle source identification from distributed electron density measurements in fusion plasmas, such as the ones obtained in Tore Supra tokamak. A transport model, suitable for identification purposes, is first proposed based on a simplification of classical particle transport models. We then derive a quasi-steady state (QSS) description, which is shown to converge exponentially towards the true solution. Finally, an identification method is proposed based on the QSS model and a shape approximation of the source term. ToreSupra data is used to illustrate the different results with experimental measurements
