New diagnostics for density measurement on Frascati Tokamak upgrade

Fabio Avino, Anton Petrov

In FTU, density profile is measured with two new diagnostics: a CO2/CO scanning interferometer and a time-of-flight radar (denominated refractometer). The first, using two scanning beams, can provide a plasma density profile every 62.5 mu s. Two lasers (CO ...
