Diagnostics for MR • Characteristic for MR experiment in lab plasma
– High spatial resolution: small size Vs large enough S/N– Wide signal bandwidth: Low freq. ~ MHz or microwave High Spatio-temporal resolution
• What we have now:– 3D B dot probe B0 , B1 Current sheet, E…– Retarding grid energy analyzer EVDF & IVDF & flux– Electrostatic probes: Langmuir probe, emissive probe, Mach
probe… Ne, Te, Vf, Vp, Iion, Ie, Ion flux… – Laser induced fluorescence(LIF) IVDF & ion flux – Microwave antenna and related instrument EM radiation
– DAQ system: 12 channels x 5M; 128 x 2M; 2 x 60M
