This paper focuses on the diagnostic analysis in magnetically confined fusion plasmas with attention drawn both to the methodology in common with that in astrophysics and to points of departure – such as species, transport, high density and the role of neutral hydrogen. Comment is also made on the state of high quality theoretical collision data …

The impurity line and continuum emission for International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor ( ITER ) reference H-mode and Internal Transport Barrier ( ITB ) plasmas were modeled using the SANCO impurity transport code. Using the instrument sensitivity for a spatially resolving crystal spectrometer array with doubly-curved crystals and two-dimensi…

The equilibrium state in tokamak core plasmas has been studied using the relative intensities of resonance x-ray lines. A full spatial analysis involves comparison of the line intensities with ion diffusion calculations, including relevant atomic rates. A zero-dimensional model using a global ion loss rate approximation has also been demonstrated b…

Crystal and synthetic multilayer diffractors, deployed either as flat Bragg reflectors, or curved, as in the Johann configuration, are used to study the spectrum of COMPASS-D and other tokamaks in the wavelength region of 1–100 A. In this article, we concentrate on the measurement of absolute photon fluxes and the derivation of volume emissivitie…

Quantitative measurements of the line and continua emissivities and the analyses of spectral line profiles are essential steps in the interpretation of the x-ray emission from high-temperature fusion plasmas. One method of placing the emissivities on an absolute basis is to use an absolutely calibrated spectrometer to record the data. The overall s…
