Abstract

This contribution provides an overview of the core diagnostics as they are required for W7-X steady-state high-density operation with a divertor and profile control. The inferred profiles then address the stellarator optimization. A particular task is the characterization of fast ion slowing down and -losses, which in a classical stellarator reactor could result in unacceptable wall loads and ultimately are deleterious for the heating efficiency.
