[论文解读] Real-time Tomography-based Bayesian Inference from TCV Bolometry Data
论文提出一种基于实时断层成像的贝叶斯方法,利用预计算系数从 TCV 脉冲计量数据估计辐射功率,并提供不确定性量化。
Radiated power information is crucial to diagnose and optimize the performance of fusion plasmas. Traditionally, at the TCV tokamak, radiated power analysis has only ever been possible following plasma discharge termination. However, recently, TCV bolometer data have become available in real-time. This offers the opportunity of integrating the radiated power information into the TCV plasma control system. In this work, we propose a novel real-time tomography-based Bayesian technique allowing estimation of the power radiated from user-defined regions of interest in the plasma. The real-time estimates are obtained as computationally cheap linear combinations of bolometer measurements, using pre-computed coefficients that are optimized for the specific discharge planned. This method is not, thus, trained on a set of synthetic or tomographically reconstructed emissivity profiles. We detail the derivation of the technique and show its equivalence to traditional tomographic estimates under suitable conditions. We then demonstrate that this technique enables accurate real-time estimation of the total, core, divertor and main chamber radiated power, by its application to a representative and heterogeneous set of TCV discharges. Finally, we discuss the robustness of the technique to faulty detectors, showing that simple precautions allow safe handling of many common issues. The computational routines implementing the described technique are provided as open-source code.
