Fast Ion Dynamics in ASDEX Upgrade and TEXTOR Measured by Collective Thomson Scattering
Fast ions are an essential ingredient in burning nuclear fusion plasmas: they are responsible for heating the bulk plasma, carry a significant amount of plasma current and moreover interact with various magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities. The collective Thomson scattering (CTS) diagnostic is sensitive to the projection of fast ion velocity distribution function.
This thesis is mainly devoted to investigations of fast ion physics in tokamak plasmas by means of CTS.
