Abstract

—A multi-chord beam diagnostic system for an open multiple-mirror trap GOL-NB is described. The system is based on a 10 keV ribbon beam of fast neutral hydrogen atoms generated by a wide-aperture ion injector with an arc plasma source. The plasma linear density profile is calculated from the attenuation of the beam after passing through the plasma. This paper discusses the design of the diagnostics and its capabilities, and also presents the measured profiles of the linear plasma density in the experiment on filling the trap with the starting plasma. The modernized version of diagnostics and the expected increase in its resolution are described. The prospects of using the Charge eXchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS) method on the existing element base are evaluated.
