Info tab content
Introduction to plasma diagnostics methods, including those used to measure high-temperature plasmas for fusion in both magnetic and inertial confinement systems. Also included are measurement methods used in low-temperature plasmas for industrial applications, in space and solar plasmas (or heliophysics), and astrophysical plasmas (or astronomy). Example plasma diagnostic techniques are magnetic measurements, Langmuir probes, microwave techniques, spectroscopic techniques, electron cyclotron emission, Thomson scattering, neutron measurements. Vacuum technology and associated diagnostics will be also introduced.
