The fluorescent rod system used for flux surface mapping experiments at TJ-II.

After construction of TJ-II was completed, the accuracy of the magnetic field was checked by measuring the vacuum flux surface mapping and comparing to theoretical predictions. The mapping was done at a magnetic field strength of 10% of the nominal value. The detection process involved imaging the spots produced by electrons, emitted from an electron gun, when these intersected an array of fluorescent rods that swept the vacuum vessel cross section. [1] The agreement was found to be good. [2]

Flux surfaces. Left column: measured. Right column: calculated. Top row: n=4, n=3. Middle row: n=8, m=5. Bottom row: n=3, m=2. [2]
