    Author: Wang B, Wang S, Tan Y, Gao Z.
    Journal: Rev Sci Instrum; 2018 Oct; 89(10):10D128. PubMed ID: 30399918.
    Abstract:
    The plasma current ramp-up and ramp-down are the basic processes in the tokamak operation. In order to research these processes in SUNIST (Sino-UNIted Spherical Tokamak), some diagnostic systems that detect the plasma radiation ranging from hard X-rays to visible light are developed. CdZnTe and silicon drift detectors measure the energy spectrum of hard X-rays and soft X-rays coming from the plasma. A pinhole camera equipped with absolute extended ultraviolet array photodiodes has been installed on the top of SUNIST to observe the radiation power loss and the magneto-hydrodynamic activities with high temporal and spatial resolution. The spectrum of vacuum ultraviolet is acquired by using a CCD camera, and the intensity of the lines can be measured by using a photomultiplier tube with a scintillator. The full spectrum of the visible light can be acquired in every 3 ms, and the intensity of some lines, such as Hα, Hγ, can be measured by filter scopes with high time response. Additionally, a Doppler broadening measurement system is developed to measure the ion temperature of edge plasma.
