On the road to a fusion reactor, a thorough control of the fast-ion distribution plays a crucial
role. Fusion-born α α-particles are, indeed, a necessary ingredient of self-sustained burning …

FIDASIM is a code that models signals produced by charge-exchange reactions between
neutrals and ions (both fast and thermal) in magnetically confined plasmas. With the ion …

This paper introduces a new model to find the velocity-space location of energetic ions
generating ion cyclotron emission (ICE) in plasmas. ICE is thought to be generated due to …

We demonstrate the measurement of a 2D MeV-range ion velocity distribution function by
velocity-space tomography at JET. Deuterium ions were accelerated into the MeV-range by …

A simple model for the instrument function of scintillator-based fast-ion loss detectors (FILD)
has been developed which accounts for the orbit trajectories in the 3D detector geometry …

Recent upgrades to the FIDA (fast-ion D-alpha) diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade are
discussed. The diagnostic has been extended from three to five line of sight arrays with …

Velocity-space tomography of the fast-ion distribution function in a fusion plasma is usually a
photon-starved tomography method due to limited optical access and signal-to-noise ratio of …

High-resolution γ-ray spectroscopy (GRS) measurements resolve spectral shapes of
Doppler-broadened γ-rays. We calculate weight functions describing velocity-space …

Recent upgrades to the FIDA (fast-ion D-alpha) diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade allow to
reconstruct the fast-ion phase space at several radial positions with decent energy and pitch …

Fast ions in the MeV-range can be diagnosed by neutron emission spectroscopy (NES) and
gamma-ray spectroscopy (GRS). In this work, we present orbit weight functions for one-step …
