Shenguang-III (SG-III) laser facility, developed by laser fusion research center (LFRC), is designed to provide the experimental capabilities to study the inertial confinement fusion (ICF) physics in China. The disintegrate experiments of inertial confinement fusion physics could be carried out at SG-III laser facility. Over 80 diagnostics have been installed at SG-III laser facility,...
All the information about a plasma species is encoded in its distribution function (DF). While it would be helpful to measure the DF directly it is only possible to measure its moments. If the form of DF is not known a priori it can be difficult to interpret diagnostic signals. This is particularly true in fast-ion physics where, due to the complicated nature of the fast-ion DF, velocity-space...
Main-ion charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (MICER) [1] uses the neutral beam induced D-alpha spectrum to measure local deuterium (D) temperature, rotation and density, plus neutral-beam parameters. An edge MICER system consisting of 16 densely packed chords was recently installed on DIII-D extending the MICER technique from the core to the pedestal and steep gradient region of H-mode...
The measurement of the magnetic field in tokamaks such as ITER and DEMO will be challenging due to the long pulse duration, high neutron flux and elevated temperatures. The long duration of the pulse makes standard techniques, such as inductive coils, prone to large error. At the same time, the hostile environment, with repairs possible only on blanket exchange, if at all, requires a robust...
