Comparative study design of a heavy ion and neutral beam diagnostic for the International Tokamak Experiment Reactor

In this article, we address the major physics principles and the engineering issues associated with the implementation of a heavy ion beam diagnostic for the International Tokamak Experiment Reactor (ITER) for the edge measurements of the plasma electric and poloidal magnetic fields. Two different diagnostic configurations are discussed. The ions’ trajectories and attenuations were calculated by dedicated simulation codes using the relevant ITER equilibrium parameters. Estimations of measurement accuracy are presented for a chosen configuration.
