    Notes: The TFTR x-ray imaging system (XIS) is an array of 64-Si surface barrier diodes which image the plasma poloidally. Special absorber foils have been installed to permit measurement of electron temperature Te with 〈100-μs time resolution along 10–30 chords. The technique uses the ratio of x-ray fluxes transmitted through two different foils, which depend mainly on Te. Simulations show that strong line radiation can change this ratio. To correct for these effects, special beryllium–scandium filters are employed to select the line-free region between 2 and 4.5 keV. Separate filter pairs allow correction for strong L line radiation as well as Ti or Ni Kα emission. The Te determination is based on simulations. Comparison of results with Te values from the electron–cyclotron emission and x-ray pulse height analysis diagnostics is presented.

    Notes: An array of 64 silicon surface-barrier diodes on a circular arc view Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) plasmas through a slot aperture to provide poloidal imaging of x-ray emission in the 200 eV–15 keV range. Information is inferred on magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities, disruptions, radiation, impurity transport, electron temperature, and electron thermal conductivity. Spatial resolution is 2.5 cm. Movable absorber foil arrays provide energy selection. Preamplifier–amplifier pairs have gains of 0.05–100 V/μA. Two outputs are provided with (1) 40-, 80-, and 300-Hz and (2) 40-, 80-, and 600-kHz filtering. The signals are digitized at rates up to 500 kHz and stored in 128K (total system) memory. Foils, gains, and filters are selectable from the control room by a computer.

    Notes: The x-ray pulse-height analysis (PHA) diagnostic uses a liquid-nitrogen cooled array of 5 Si(Li) and one HpGe detectors to do time-resolved (5–100 ms) x-ray spectroscopy of the central horizontal chord of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) plasmas in the 1–50-keV range. Central electron temperature Te and concentration of medium and low-Z impurities are derived from the spectra. Remotely selectable absorber-foil arrays provide selection of the energy range. Fixed and movable aperture arrays allow approximate equalization of count rates in different energy bands and extend dynamic range. Amplifier pulse shapes are approximately triangular. Main amplifier peaking time is 4 μs yielding 230-eV FWHM at 5.9 keV. Pileup inspection times are selectable at 0.13, 0.4, or 0.9 μs. Throughput is up to 42 kHz. The PHA has been used to study temperature and impurities over a wide range of TFTR operational parameters. Dramatic variations in metal impurities with density, plasma current, and major radius have been observed.
