Motional Stark effect diagnostic expansion on DIII-D for enhanced current and Er profile measurements
2006
The motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic on DIII-D has been expanded to take advantage of a change in the neutral beam geometry, adding 24 new MSE channels viewing a beam injected counter to the plasma current. When data from these channels are used with those from two older MSE arrays viewing a different beam, the overall radial resolution improves near the magnetic axis at least a factor of 2, and the uncertainty in calculations of vertical magnetic field and radial electric field decreases in the edge at least a factor of 4. The new design uses two optical systems mounted on the same vacuum port with a common shutter and shielding.
