End loss analyzer system for measurements of plasma flux at the C-2U divertor electrode
March 2016 | M. E. Griswold | AIP Conference Proceedings | Paper
An end loss analyzer system was developed to study thermal transport on the open field lines that surround the advanced beam-driven field-reversed configuration (FRC) core of the C-2U experiment. The system is mounted directly to the divertor electrode and consists of gridded retarding-potential analyzers that measure ion current density and ion energy as well as pyroelectric crystal bolometers that measure the total power flux.
