15. 15 E. Delchambre Demoncheaux Culham (22/07/08) Euratom CONCLUSIONS Carbon sources identified on erosion zone, leading edge and radial gap tiles. Growth of deposits observed in CII, CD and Dα with highest Hα emission on deposits which increases during the campaign. Strong radiative activity in tangential area observed with CD filtered during LH heating probably related to flaking of deposits in this region need spectrally resolved observation with new fibres views Ytot deduced from CII(568nm)/H α ~ 2 % BUT no comparison available with CII(426nm)/Dγ since issues with CII lines mentionned yesterday was highlited after DITS campaign Issue under investigation
