Abstract

Measurement of the Asymmetry factor (Shafranov parameter) is essential in tokamak plasma experiments. The purpose of this paper is comparing of the magnetic probes, poloidal flux loops, and diamagnetic loops techniques in determination of the Asymmetry factor in tokamaks. For this reason, array of magnetic probes, flux loops, and diamagnetic loop with its compensation coil, were designed, constructed, and installed on outer surface of the IR-T1 tokamak chamber, and then the Asymmetry factor and poloidal beta measured. Moreover, a few approximate values of the internal inductance for the different plasma current density profiles are also calculated. Experimental results compared.
