Abstract
Fusion product diagnostics based on four commercially available single-crystal chemical vapor deposition (s-CVD) diamond detectors are installed in the Large Helical Device (LHD) in order to understand energetic ion confinement. Characteristics of s-CVD diamonds were surveyed using alpha and D-T neutron sources. It is found that the energy resolutions of s-CVD diamonds for ∼ 5 MeV alpha particles and 14 MeV neutrons are 1%–3% and ∼ 1.7%, respectively. Moreover, the response of four s-CVD diamond detectors to alpha particles and D-T neutrons is almost identical. The installation positions of the diamond detectors in the vacuum vessel are searched for, based on the loss points of charged fusion products reckoned by Lorentz orbit calculations. Energy- and time-resolved measurement of fusion product flux will progress in further understanding of energetic ion confinement in LHD.
