Two-point motional Stark effect diagnostic for Madison Symmetric Torus

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...

Improved spectral analysis for the motional Stark effect diagnostic.

The magnetic pitch angle and the magnitude from reversed field pinch plasmas in the Madison symmetric torus (MST) have been routinely obtained from fully resolved motional Stark effect (MSE) spectrum analyses. Recently, the spectrum fit procedure has been improved by initializing and constraining the fit parameters based on the MSE model in the atomic data and analysis structure. A collisional-...

High-speed three-wave polarimeter-interferometer diagnostic for Madison symmetric torus

A high-speed three-wave polarimeter-interferometer diagnostic has been developed on the Madison symmetric torus reversed field pinch to provide simultaneous measurement of electron density and poloidal magnetic field profile evolution. With increased digitizer bandwidth, polarimetry noise due to aliasing and cross-talk is minimized, and time response improved. System performance is demonstrated...
