摘要
The Heavy Ion Beam Diagnostic (HIBD) on the tokamak ISTTOK (Instituto Superior Tecnico TOKamak) has been modified, in terms of signal conditioning, to measure the local fluctuations of the n(e)sigma(1,2)(T-e) product (plasma density times the effective ionization cross-section) along the tokamak minor diameter, in 12 sample volumes in the range of - 0.7a < r < 0.7a, with a maximum delay time of 1 mu s. The corresponding signals show high correlation with the magnetic Mirnov coils in the characteristic MHD frequency range of ISTTOK plasmas and enable the identification of tearing modes. This paper describes the HIBD signal conditioning system and presents a preliminary analysis of the radial profile measurements of local n(e)sigma(1,2)(T-e) fluctuations. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
