Abstract

A divertor imaging radiometer (DIR) diagnostic is being studied to measure spatially and spectrally resolved radiated power P rad(λ) in the tokamak divertor. A dual transmission grating design, with extreme ultraviolet (∼20-200 Å) and vacuum ultraviolet (∼200-2000 Å) gratings placed side-by-side, can produce coarse spectral resolution over a broad wavelength range covering emission from impurities over a wide temperature range. The DIR can thus be used to evaluate the separate P rad contributions from different ion species and charge states. Additionally, synthetic spectra from divertor simulations can be fit to P rad(λ) measurements, providing a powerful code validation tool that can also be used to estimate electron divertor temperature and impurity transport.
