Available information in 2D motional Stark effect imaging.

Recent advances in imaging techniques have allowed the extension of the standard polarimetric 1D motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic to 2D imaging of the internal magnetic field of fusion devices [J. Howard, Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 50, 125003 (2008)]. This development is met with the challenge of identifying and extracting the new information, which can then be used to increase the ac...

Snapshot-imaging motional Stark effect polarimetry

Measurement of the motional Stark effect (MSE) for Balmer alpha light emitted from heating or diagnostic neutral beams is a standard technique for estimating plasma toroidal current density in tokamaks. Most techniques typically rely on a determination of the polarization angle or relative intensities of the multiplet components which are spectrally resolved using either an array of interferenc...

Two-point motional Stark effect diagnostic for Madison Symmetric Torus.

A high-precision spectral motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic provides internal magnetic field measurements for Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) plasmas. Currently, MST uses two spatial views--on the magnetic axis and on the midminor (off-axis) radius, the latter added recently. A new analysis scheme has been developed to infer both the pitch angle and the magnitude of the magnetic field from M...
