TL;DR: The gel-type bubble detector as mentioned in this paper can be used for high-yield (6×1013) targets with a precision of better than 25 μm and is insensitive to x-ray and gamma-ray background.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the diagnostic capabilities of PCX demonstrated on TFTR and discuss the prospects for applying this technique to ITER, where the pellet perturbation to the plasma and obtaining satisfactory penetration into the plasma are discussed.

TL;DR: In this article, the first two years of the Tokamak test fusion reactor (TFTR) D-T operation is summarized and a brief summary of the concept, instrumentation, and analysis techniques for each diagnostic is given, followed by examples of alpha physics results.

TL;DR: Modeling shows that the variation in gyrophase of 80 keV beam ions at the FILD aperture can produce an apparent measured energy signature spanning across 50-140 keV, which compares favorably with experiments in which neutral beam prompt loss provides a well known energy and pitch distribution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the status of the pellet charge exchange (PCX) diagnostic including a brief description of the measurement technique and discussion of operational experience, as well as measurements of the energy spectrum, radial density distribution, and heating deposition profile of rf-driven tritium ions during 2ΩT heating of L-mode plasmas are presented.
