US ITER team preps design of first-of-a-kind real-time plasma diagnostic
As the first phase of ITER tokamak assembly begins, the US ITER diagnostics team is busy preparing the systems essential for first plasma. The team, which is based out of Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory and is responsible for a total of seven ITER diagnostics, will hold a final design review in summer for the first of those systems: an antenna array for the low-field side reflectometer (LFSR) that will gather data from the outer layers of the ITER tokamak plasma.
