Development of the ITER Continuous External Rogowski: From conceptual design to final design

Duccio Testa, Christian Schlatter, Matthieu Toussaint, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Philippe Marmillod

In ITER, an accurate measurement of plasma current, with high reliability, is mandatory as this parameter is used to demonstrate licensing compliance with regulatory limits. For that purpose, several independent measurements based on magnetic diagnostics h ...
