Description

For over 25 years, General Atomics has been producing and using X-Ray systems for high temperature plasma diagnostics. Applications include measurement of electron temperature, determination of impurity concentrations, imaging, investigation of instabilities, and determination of the electron distribution function.

General Atomics operates the DIII-D tokamak for the U.S. Department of Energy. The DIII-D X-Ray System consists of a three-detector X-Ray spectrometer with variable geometry [2 Si(Li) and 1 Ge detector] and two 32-detector diffused junction arrays, plus three 24-detector detector diffused junction arrays for tomographic imaging. The three-detector spectroscopic array features a remotely controllable aperture and filter set and in-situ#160energy calibration. The spectroscopic electronics include pileup rejection, baseline restoration, and 1.7 microsecond conversion time.
