A majority of the planned fusion product diagnostics for the T-15 tokamak are described. These include a few dozen silicon diodes to detect escaping charged fusion products with high energy resolution. They will resolve the charged particle fluxes in radial, pitch angle, energy and time dependences. In addition, measurements of DD neutron birth profiles are proposed to be carried out using two independent systemsa bubble chamber and a 'sandwich' radiometer that have not been used in tokamaks to date. A new method of plasma current profile measurement is suggested, based on the detection of 'test' alpha particles emitted by radioactive sources at the vessel wall.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
