Abstract

COMPASS Upgrade is a medium size and high field tokamak that is capable of addressing key challenges for reactor grade tokamaks, including power exhaust and advanced confinement scenarios. Electron cyclotron emission will be available among the first diagnostics to provide measurements of high spatial and temporal resolution of electron temperature profiles and electron temperature fluctuation profiles through a radial view. A separate oblique view at 12° from normal will be utilized to study non-thermal electrons. Both the radial and oblique views are envisioned to be located in a wide-angle midplane port, which has dimensions that enable simultaneous hosting of the front-end of their quasi-optical (QO) designs. Each QO design will have an in situ hot calibration source in the front-end to provide standalone and calibrated Te (R,t) measurements. The conceptual design for each QO system, the Gaussian beam analysis, and the details of the diagnostic channels are presented.
