Abstract

The applicability of neutral particle diagnostics for studying plasma parameters and additional methods of heating in the Tokamak with Reactor Technologies is analyzed. Options for the arrangement of diagnostic equipment, which includes three analyzers of charge-exchange atoms (neutral particle analyzers) for different energy ranges of recorded atomic fluxes, are given. It is shown that the diagnostic complex of analyzers makes it possible to measure the distribution functions of plasma thermal ions and to obtain information on the isotopic ratio of the main plasma ion component in the deuterium–tritium mode of facility operation. In addition, the proposed geometry of the analyzer arrangement makes it possible to measure the energy distribution of fast ions, which arise during neutral beam injection and ion cyclotron heating of plasma.
