The TJ-II stellarator is equipped with a unique diagnostic system - Dual HIBP, consisting of two HIBPs separated toroidally <ref>A. MELNIKOV, A.V. et al., Heavy ion beam probing - Diagnostics to study potential and turbulence in toroidal plasmas, Nuclear Fusion 57 (2017) 072004.</ref>. On top of the conventional measurements of the mean value of the plasma electrostatic potential φ, the dual HIBP in TJ-II is capable to measure oscillations of the potential, electron density, magnetic potential and Long Range Correlations as a proxy of Zonal Flows. The HIBP technique turned out to be applicable for measuring several other important plasma quantities too the radial ExB turbulent particle flux.
