| contents | SPIDER (Source for the Production of Ions of Deuterium Extracted from Rf plasma) is a full-scale prototype of the ITER NBI source. It is based on the concept of inductive coupling between radio-frequency current drive and plasma. Present three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic calculations of stationary RF fields in SPIDER permit an evaluation of the power dissipation in its main constituents. Taking experimental plasma parameters as input, we concentrate on the power dissipation in the copper-made Faraday shield lateral wall (FSLW) of the source for discharges with and without a static magnetic filter field. In agreement with our previous results and a first comparison with calorimetry data from the FSLW cooling circuit, the FSLW cylinder alone absorbs around 50\% of the available power for the studied plasma parameters. A hypothesized improvement of transport confinement may increase significantly the efficiency. |
