Abstract

Experience with the αcharge exchange recombination spectroscopy and pellet charge exchange confined, nonthermal alpha particle diagnostics over the first two years of Tokamak test fusion reactor (TFTR) D-T operation is summarized. A brief summary of the concept, instrumentation, and analysis techniques for each diagnostic is given, followed by examples of alpha physics results. Issues important to further development of these diagnostic techniques for TFTR and ITER are discussed.
