Scattering functions are calculated for conditions anticipated for D-T plasmas in JET. It is concluded that scattering at millimetre wavelengths may be capable of providing useful information about the alpha particle velocity distribution function, but scattering of CO 2 laser radiation at a wavelength of 10.6 μm will not. The alpha distribution function is most easily determined when the geometry is such as to minimize the effect of the plasma magnetic field.
