Investigation of temporal evolution and spatial distribution of dust creation events in DITS campaign using visible CCD cameras in Tore Supra

Images of wide-angle visible CCD cameras contain information on dust creation events (flaking) that occur during plasma operations. Due to the interaction with plasma, flakes entering into the plasma left straight line-like visible traces behind in the images. Analyzing these traces by image processing, the temporal evolution, spatial distribution, and statistics on dust creation events in DITS campaign in Tore Supra were obtained.
