One of the newest diagnostics for the C-2W plasma is main ion CHarge Exchange Recombination
Spectroscopy(mCHERS) to measure the main ion temperature and velocity.

Variations in axial and radial electric fields are determining factors in electron-ion confinement as well
as plasma rotation and heating.
