Abstract
We have set up a diagnostic magnet (D-Mag) laboratory for a wide range of applications in plasma physics. It consists of a superconducting magnet for field strengths of up to 5.9 T. The main purpose is to provide an experimental environment for the development of plasma diagnostics for nuclear fusion studies and the investigation of dusty plasmas in strong magnetic fields. We describe in the article the setup and operation of the D-Mag. Some applications are presented for the development of plasma diagnostics, such as neutral pressure gauges and Langmuir probes that have to be operated in strong magnetic fields. Among the examples is the test of the long-pulse capability and stability of the diagnostic pressure gauge (DPG) for the ITER device.
