A new probe for the detection of fast escaping ions has been installed and operated at the W7-AS stellarator. Fast ions generated from neutral beam injection or ion cyclotron heating were used to study the fast ion confinement properties of the partially drift-optimized magnetic field structure as well as losses induced by magnetohydrodynamic perturbations. The design of the probe is based on the α-particle detectors of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor using scintillator plates and allows the detection of co-and countergoing ions simultaneously in a wide range of gyroradii and pitch angles.
