Development of a Set of Synthetic Diagnostics for the Confrontation between 2D Transport Simulations and WEST Tokamak Experimental Data

Transport codes are frequently used for describing fusion plasmas with the aim to prepare tokamak operations. Considering novel codes, such as SolEdge3X-HDG, synthetic diagnostics a common technique validate new models and confront them experimental data. The purpose of this study is develop set diagnostics, starting from bolometer visible cameras WEST tokamak, in order compare code results This research done framework Raysect Cherab Python libraries. allows us process various same fashion terms 3D ray tracing volume emitters developed specifically plasmas. We were able implement model design cameras. Synthetic signals, based on full-discharge plasma simulation, SolEdge3X-HDG output also considers optical properties plasma-facing components (PFCs) their influence performance diagnostics. paper shows unified approach diagnostic design, which will be further extended cover remaining tokamak.
