Diagnostics are the eyes and ears of fusion reactors. They return vital parameters such as the temperature, the density, the impurity content, the magnetic field et cetera.
Below you find a list of different diagnostics, together with their main measurement parameters.

{| class="wikitable" align="center" border="1"
!''Name'' !!''Abbreviation''!!''Measurement parameters''
|-
|Thomson Scattering || TS || Electron temperature <math>T_e</math>, electron density <math>n_e</math>
|-
|Charge Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy || CXRS, CXS, CHERS, CER || Ion temperature <math>T_i</math>, toroidal and poloidal plasma rotation velocity <math>v_\phi</math>, <math>v_\theta</math>, impurity density <math>n_Z</math>

|Electron Cyclotron Emission || ECE, ECEi || Electron temperature <math>T_e</math>, electron temperature fluctuations (turbulence) <math>\tilde{T}_e</math>
|-
|Mirnov coils, pickup coils || - || magnetic field components and fluctuations (outside plasma)

A special bi-annual conference on fusion diagnostics is held in the U.S.: The [[Topical Conference on High Temperature Plasma Diagnostics]] (HTPD)

This is the FusionWiki, jointly hosted by
[[Laboratorio Nacional de Fusión|LNF]] and [[Fusenet]].

The goal of this Wiki is to collect specialist information on issues related to '''fusion and plasma physics''':
* Research topics (physics, engineering, theory, experiment, software, [[Diagnostics|diagnostics]], tools, [[Journals|journals]], [[Data analysis techniques|data analysis techniques]], [[Fusion databases|databases]], concepts, terminology, ...), with links to the main references in the field
* [[Fusion laboratories]], [[institutions]], and entities (devices, collaborations, projects, ...)
* Policy issues (organizations, commissions, programs, ...)
* [[FusionWiki:Current events|Meetings and Conferences]]

== How to help ==
