Infrared reflection properties and modelling of in situ reflection measurements on plasma-facing materials in Tore Supra
Abstract
Tore Supra has—like ITER—reflecting internal surfaces, which can perturb the machine protection systems based on infrared (IR) thermography. To ameliorate this situation, we have measured and modelled in the 3-5 μm wavelength range the bi-directional reflection distribution function (BRDF) of wall material samples from Tore Supra and conducted in situ reflection measurements and simulated them with the CEA COSMOS code. BRDF results are presented for B4C and carbon fibre composite (CFC) tiles. The hemispherical integrated reflection ranges from 0.12 for the B4C sample to 0.39 for a CFC tile from the limiter erosion zone. In situ measurements of the IR reflection of a blackbody source off an ICRH and an LHCD antenna of Tore Supra are well reproduced by the simulation.
