A Photoiode-based Neutral Particle Bolometer for Characterizing Fast-ion Behavior

A Photoiode-based Neutral Particle Bolometer for Characterizing Fast-ion Behavior

May 2012 | R. Clary | HTPD | Poster

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.

One of the goals of the C-2 experiment [1,2] is to explore FRC sustainment and current drive from neutral beam injection. Studies of the relaxation and confinement of hot anisotropic ions created by the neutral beams are considered to be key elements of the experimental research program.
