Multi-Channel Mass-Separated Neutral Particle Energy Analyser for Simultaneous Measurements of Hydrogen and Deuterium Atoms Emitted from Tokamak Plasma

Abstract
A mass-separated neutral particle energy analyser able to carry out the simultaneous measurement of hydrogen and deuterium atoms emitted from a tokamak plasma was constructed. The analyser was calibrated for the energy and mass separation in the energy range from 0.4 keV to 9 keV. It was installed in the JFT-2 tokamak in order to investigate the behavior of deuterons and protons in a JFT-2 tokamak plasma heated by ion cyclotron wave and neutral beam injection. It was found that the energy spectrum could be determined with sufficient accuracy, and the ion temperature obtained from the energy spectrum was in good agreement with the ion temperature deduced from the Doppler broadening of the impurity ion line.
