A photodiode-based neutral particle bolometer for characterizing charge-exchanged fast-ion behavior

July 2012 | R. Clary | Review of Scientific Instruments | Paper

A neutral particle bolometer (NPB) has been designed and implemented on the TAE Technologies C-2 device in order to spatially and temporally resolve the charge-exchange losses of fast-ion populations originating from neutral beam injection into field-reversed configuration plasmas.
