Experimental validation of beam particle self interaction in JT-60U by use of N-NB

In a toroidal system, circulating fast ions generated by neutral beam injection affect the beam stopping cross-section of the neutral beam itself. This effect is called "beam particle self-interaction (BPSI)". In a recent experiment in JT-60U with 350 keV H$$^{0}$$ beam, an indication of this BPSI effect has been found for the first time. In a low density discharge at about 1$$times$$10$$^{19}$$m$$^{-3}$$, the beam shine-through decreased by about 35% within several hundred msec after beam injection. This result is consistent with a prediction by the BPSI theory.
