摘要：
Hydrogenic fast-ion populations are common in toroidal magnetic fusion devices, especially in devices with neutral beam injection. As the fast ions orbit around the device and pass through a neutral beam, some fast ions neutralize and emit Balmer-alpha light. The intensity of this emission is weak compared with the signals from the injected neutrals, the warm (halo) neutrals and the cold edge neutrals, but, for a favourable viewing geometry, the emission is Doppler shifted away from these bright interfering signals. Signals from fast ions are detected in the DIII-D tokamak. When the electron density exceeds similar to7 x 10(19) m(-3), visible bremsstrahlung obscures the fast-ion signal. The intrinsic spatial resolution of the diagnostic is similar to5 cm for 40 keV amu(-1) fast ions. The technique is well suited for diagnosis of fast-ion populations in devices with fast-ion energies (similar to30 keV amu(-1)), minor radii (similar to0.6 m) and plasma densities (less than or similar to10(20) m-3) that are similar to those of DIII-D.
