Abstract
The charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (CXRS) diagnostics at ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) have been upgraded and extended to provide high-resolution measurements of impurity ion temperature, density, and rotation profiles. The existing core toroidal CXRS diagnostic has been refurbished to increase the level of signal, thus enabling shorter exposure times down to 3.5 ms. Additional lines of sight provide more detailed profiles and enable simultaneous measurements of multiple impurities. In addition, a new CXRS system has been installed, which allows for the measurement of poloidal impurity ion rotation in the plasma edge with high temporal (1.9 ms) and spatial resolution (down to 5 mm). A new wavelength correction method has been implemented to perform in situ wavelength calibrations on a shot-to-shot basis. Absolute measurements of the poloidal impurity ion rotation with uncertainties smaller than 1.5 km/s have been obtained. Comparison of all the CXRS measurements provides a consistency check of the diagnostics and good agreement has been found for all of the CXRS systems.
