Optimization of the Collective Thomson scattering diagnostic for future operation
Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) is a microwave diagnostic allowing measurements of a number of plasma parameters such as the bulk ion temperature, the plasma composition, drift velocities and fast ion velocity distribution function. A CTS system has been successfully installed and commissioned on the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator. The measured

Design and performance of the collective Thomson scattering receiver at ASDEX Upgrade [PDF]
Here we present the design of the fast-ion collective Thomson scattering receiver for millimeter wave radiation installed at ASDEX Upgrade, a tokamak for fusion plasma experiments. The receiver can detect spectral power densities of a few eV against the electron cyclotron emission background on the order of 100 eV under presence of gyrotron stray ...

105-GHz Notch Filter Design for Collective Thomson Scattering [PDF]
A millimeter-wave notch filter with 105-GHz center frequency, >20-GHz passband coverage, and 1-GHz rejection bandwidth has been constructed. The design is based on a fundamental rectangular waveguide with cylindrical cavities coupled by narrow iris gaps, i.e., small elongated holes of negligible thickness.

Effects of relativistic electrons on the calculated collective Thomson scattered spectra [PDF]
The effects of relativistic electrons on the spectral density function {ital S}({bold k},{omega}) are evaluated in the collective Thomson scattering regime for ion diagnostics. An electromagnetic code that calculates the electron density fluctuation term of {ital S}({bold k},{omega}) has been modified by treating the electrons with a relativistic ...

On the influence of plasma turbulence on collective Thomson scattering measurements
Plasma turbulence can result in significant distortion of probing and receiving microwave beams, and this effect can modify the registered spectrum in a collective Thomson scattering (CTS) experiment. An analytical description of the CTS experiment is provided in this paper for the probing beam distortion due to the plasma edge turbulence.
