Charge exchange recombination spectroscopy on Alcator C-Mod

The optical systems for charge-exchange recombination spectroscopy (CXRS) on Alcator C-Mod have been developed and installed. They will provide measurements of Ti, νθ, and νφ. With the addition of the motional Stark effect diagnostic to determine Bp, Er can be inferred from the ion pressure balance equation, Er=(Zenz)−1∇rpz+νφzBθ−νθzBφ. The optical systems are simple and have high throughput. In particular, the toroidally viewing systems must be designed for invessel installation close to the plasma where they are subject to large forces and are inaccessible between vacuum vents. Two optical systems, located invessel, provide 20 channels of Ti and νφ data from 67.3 cm
