Abstract
An overview describes the evolution of HIBP diagnostics from the origins till today. The progress in the beam technology is presented by examples of HIBPs in tokamaks and stellarators. At the beginning, HIBP provided timeaveraged measurements of plasma potential in single space location, then it evolves to time-resolved measurements of radial distributions and finally it becomes a multi-purpose diagnostics to study the temporal evolution of 2D distributions of potential and turbulence, including the long-range potential correlations with dual HIBP. Highlights in plasma potential profile evolution, a link between potential, density and confinement, geodesic acoustic modes, steady and chirping Alfvén eigenmodes, turbulent particle flux are presented.
