Abstract

Two Triple Gas Electron Multiplier (Triple-GEM) detectors were developed for high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy measurements for tokamak plasma to serve as plasma evolution monitoring in soft X-ray region (SXR). They provide energy resolved fast dynamic plasma radiation imaging in the SXR with 0.1 kHz frequency. Detectors were designed and constructed for continuous data-flow precise energy and position measurement of plasma radiation emitted by metal impurities, W46+ and Ni26+ ions, at 2.4 keV and 7.8 keV photon energies, respectively. High counting rate capability of the detecting units has been achieved with good position resolution. This article presents results of the laboratory and tokamak experiments together with the system performance under irradiation by photon flux from the plasma core.
