Abstract:Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) is a microwave diagnostic allowing measurements of a number of plasma parameters such as the bulk ion temperature, the plasma composition, drift velocities and fast ion velocity distribution function. A CTS system has been successfully installed and commissioned on the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator. The measured spectra are analyzed by the means of the CTS forward model eCTS and the Minerva scientific framework enabling the use of Bayesian inference of relevant plasma p… Show more
