“…Our first generation single-chamber device, MAP (material(s) and plasma), was developed by Bolt and Tanaka for the purpose of investigating mainly material erosion phenomena by plasma irradiation in about 1990 [16][17][18][19][20][21] in the Tokai-mura site of the University of Tokyo. MAP was modifi ed to a dual-chamber device MAP-II in 1999, which enabled the gas-target experiments and expanded the controllability of the discharge conditions [22].…”

Atomic and molecular processes in volumetric recombination phenomena relevant to divertor detachment are investigated in a divertor simulator MAP (Material and Plasma) -II. In the recombining plasmas, quantitative measurements of parameters, especially using a Langmuir probe, are diffi cult, so that the development of alternative diagnostics is important. Recombination can be induced in He plasma by puffi ng of He or H 2 . In the He puffi ng case, the Rydberg spectra show an electron temperature of lower than 0.1 eV, while in the H 2 puffi ng case, the Rydberg spectra disappear even though the reduction of the ion fl ux is apparent, showing that another type of recombination occurs. Negative hydrogen ions are observed in the peripheral region of the plasma column.
