Popis: As a high heat flux linear plasma device designed for studying divertor materials in future fusion reactors, HIT-PSI(Plasma Surface Interaction device at Harbin Institute of Technology) has been successfully constructed and has maintained stable operation since its completion. The characteristics of He plasma beams in HIT-PSI are investigated by emission spectroscopy and an infrared camera, with preliminary irradiation experiments conducted by bombarding tungsten with the beam. For relatively conservative discharge parameters, HIT-PSI achieved a steady-state heat flux capacity of ∼40 MW/m2 using infrared measurements, with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the heat flux beam reaching 4 mm. These characteristics make HIT-PSI an advanced platform for testing divertor materials and plasma-facing components, providing essential experimental supports for research and development of high-performance divertor materials.
