Impurity Emission Behavior in the Soft X-Ray and Extreme Ultraviolet Range on EAST

Spectroscopy in the soft X-ray and extreme ultraviolet (XEUV) region is very im- portant in magnetic fusion research. Recently, two flat-field spectrometers that utilize a varied line spacing grating to image the spectra of 1-13 nm and 5-50 nm were installed on EAST for core impurity emission monitoring and impurity transport study. The instruments were proven to be capable of observing spectral lines from low-Z impurities (Li, C, O, N, Ar, etc.) and highly ionized medium- and high-Z impurities (Fe, Cr, Ni, Cu, Mo, etc.). For example, spectra in the wavelength intervals of 1-2 nm and 5-13 nm contained strong metal lines, especially molybdenum lines during H-mode phases. Argon and nitrogen lines were also observed, which were injected for diagnostic purposes. Impurity lines were identified and compared to measurements on other magnetic fusion research devices. Detailed measurements of radial emission profiles from various impurity line emissions were also presented.
