Sala Bruno Brunelli (Frascati)

Tutorial MEASUREMENTS OF DENSITY AND TEMPERATURE Fusion machines (including subtopics on: measurements of temperature and density; DTT and East tokamaks)

Speaker

George Vayakis (ITER Organization (IO))

Description

This talk will outline the main techniques that provide density measurements in present magnetic fusion devices (interferometry, Thomson scattering, reflectometry and refractometry included) and provide application notes for their use where the plasma facing power density (particles, neutrons, photons) is very high and long life is needed.
