TJ-II:Thomson Scattering

Revision as of 15:37, 15 July 2009 by Admin (talk | contribs)

The high-resolution Thomson Scattering system provides electron temperature, density, and pressure profiles at a single time in the discharge. [1] [2] [3] [4] The number of data points along the profiles can vary from shot to shot depending on magnetic configuration, the shape of actual plasma, the influence of stray light level on data quality, etc. The estimated spatial resolution of diagnostic is approximately 2.4 mm.
