The injection of energetic neutral particles into the plasma of magnetic confinement fusion
reactors is a widely-accepted method for heating such plasmas; various types of neutral …

A consistent, up-to-date description of the extremely manifold and varied experimental
techniques which nowadays enable work with neutral particles. Th book lays the physical …

The lithium beam emission spectroscopy (Li-BES) is a powerful diagnostic to resolve the
plasma edge density with high temporal and spatial resolution. The recent upgrades of the …

The knowledge of the electron temperature profiles T e (r) in the boundary of a tokamak is
important in several regards, eg, for the calculation of impurity fluxes from line intensities, for …

A probabilistic data analysis method was applied to analyze the spatially resolved beam
emission intensities from the lithium beam diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade. The method …

The I-mode confinement regime can feature small edge temperature drops that can lead to
an increase in the energy deposited onto the divertor targets. In this work, we show that …

Plasma‐wall interaction and impurity transport processes in the outermost region of
magnetically confined hot plasmas (the so‐called plasma edge) must be well understood for …

This book completes the physical foundations and experimental techniques described in
volume 1 with an updated review of the accessory equipment indispensable in molecular …

The upgrade of the edge charge exchange recombination spectroscopy diagnostic at
ASDEX Upgrade has enabled highly spatially resolved measurements of the impurity ion …

A diagnostic instrument is described for the Experimental Advanced Superconducting
Tokamak (EAST) for the measurement of the edge plasma electron density profile and …
