TL;DR: In this article, a detailed review of the physics basis for the DTE2 operational scenarios, including the fusion power predictions through first principle and integrated modelling, and the impact of isotopes in the operation and physics of DTE plasmas (thermal and particle transport, high confinement mode, Be and W erosion, fuel recovery, etc).

TL;DR: In this article, the authors derived expressions for FIDA weight functions accounting for the Doppler shift, Stark splitting, and the charge-exchange reaction and electron transition probabilities, and derived simple analytic expressions for their boundaries that separate the triangular observable regions in (v||, v⊥)-space from the unobservable regions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first measurement of a local fast-ion 2D velocity distribution function f(v?, v?). To this end, they heated a plasma in ASDEX upgrade by neutral beam injection and measured spectra of fast ion D? (FIDA) light from the plasma centre in three views simultaneously.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the first measurement of a local fast-ion 2D velocity distribution function (f(v_\parallel, v_\perp)$ by tomographic inversion.

TL;DR: In this article, a real-time algorithm for computing the NBI fast-ion distribution in real time is presented. But the algorithm requires a simplified beam geometry to calculate the beam attenuation.
