Design and Fabrication of Multipurpose Diagnostic in IR-T1 Tokamak

Abstract

The first results of the movable multipurpose probe (MPP) experiments performed on the IR-T1 Tokamak are presented. For this purpose, a moveable MPP was designed, constructed, and installed on the IR-T1 Tokamak for the first time. MPP can measure radial variation of floating potential and ion saturation current, electrostatic fluctuation, magnetic fluctuation, and flow velocity simultaneously. The relation between gradient of Reynolds stress and poloidal particle flux can be investigated by MPP. It can measure the radial variation of radial electric field and poloidal electric field. The most advantage of MPP is to measure electric and magnetic plasma fluctuations simultaneously. MPP is composed of three sections: electrical part, magnetic part, and flow measurement section. This is a compact probe in which do not disturb plasma. The results are presented and discussed.
