Abstract

To allow the TMX Upgrade to meet its design parameters, the neutral reflux to the plasma must be much less than the fluxes of both charge-exchange neutral products to the first walls and transmitted neutral-beam atoms to the beam dumps. To achieve this, it is intended to evaporate titanium as a getter on the first wall and install vanadium-foil beam dumps. The vanadium beam dumps will be heated by the neutral beam during the shot, releasing most of the implanted hydrogen as they cool radiatively after the shot. The deposited titanium will be thick enough to retain the implanted charge-exchange neutral products. The design of these components is described, estimates of their performance are reported, and their performance is compared with the needs of TMX Upgrade.
