    Notes: The electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostic on FTU tokamak is routinely performed with a Michelson interferometer with spectral range extending up to 1300 GHz. The diagnostic allowed accurate electron temperature measurements during the recent 140 GHz electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) experiments on FTU. Very accurate measurements have been performed on a wide range of electron temperatures and profile peaking. The ECE measurements have been compared with Thomson scattering and with observations of x-ray spectra from highly stripped molybdenum ions. The suprathermal emission in these conditions has been studied. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: In the present article a new diagnostic device in the soft x-ray range, for magnetic fusion plasmas, is proposed based on a gas electron multiplier detector with 2.5×2.5 cm active area, equipped with a true two-dimensional readout system. The readout printed circuit board, designed for these experiments, has 128 pads. Each pad is 2 mm square and covers a roughly circular area. The operational conditions of the detector are settled to work in the x-ray range 3–15 keV at very high counting rates, with a linear response up to 2 MHz/pixel. This limitation is due to the electronic dead time. Images of a wrench and two pinholes were done at rates of 2.5 MHz/pixel with a powerful x-ray laboratory source showing an excellent imaging capability. Finally preliminary measurements of x-ray emission from a magnetic fusion plasma were performed on the Frascati tokamak upgrade experiment. The system was able to image the plasma with a wide dynamic range (more than a factor of 100), with a sampling frequency of 20 kHz and with counting rates up to 4 MHz/pixel, following the changes of the x-ray plasma emissivity due to additional radio frequency heating. The spatial resolution and imaging properties of this detector have been studied in this work for conditions of high counting rates and high gain, with the detector fully illuminated by very intense x-ray sources (laboratory tube and tokamak plasma). © 2001 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Measurements of plasma radiation in the infrared (IR) BREM_IR range (λ=978 nm, Δλ=38 nm), at 16 horizontal lines of sight intersecting the central vertical chord of the [Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU) R=0.935 m, a=0.3 m, B=4–8 T], from z=−0.22 m below, to z=0.08 m above the equatorial plane, are performed using the detection system of the Thomson scattering apparatus [F. Orsitto et al., Appl. Opt. 34, 2712 (1995)] (TS). The measured BREM_IR intensity is equal I(z)=〈ZeffGne2/Te1/2〉 where 〈〉 means line average. For determining the Zeff, the Gaunt factor (G) is needed, and the Born–Elwert formula is used. The Zeff spatial profiles are determined using the plasma temperature (Te) and density (ne) measured by the TS, DCN interferometer, and Abel inverted intensity profiles. Zeff(r) versus time behavior in FTU discharges is presented for krypton injection experiments aimed to investigate the particle confinement behavior during strong injection of impurities. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
