Abstract

International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is currently under construction in France. Three diagnostic systems intended for control and measurement of ITER plasma are being developed in Ioffe Institute as a part of the Russian Federation international responsibilities. They are the neutral particle diagnostic system (NPA diagnostics), the divertor Thomson scattering (DTS) diagnostics system, and the gamma-ray spectrometry system (GAMMA).The main goal of NPA diagnostics is to monitor the density ratio of deuterium and tritium ions in the burning plasma by measuring atomic fluxes emitted by plasma as a result of ion neutralization processes. The DTS diagnostics detects the laser light scattered by plasma electrons in the divertor, allowing monitoring of divertor power loads and serves for the reactor protection from breakdown. The Gamma-ray diagnostics registers continuous and line gamma-ray spectra emitted by the ITER plasma. Continuous spectrum measurements will be used for the ITER protection as they allow monitoring of the intensity and the growth rate of the runaway electron beam. In turn, line spectrum measurements will be used to determine the fast ion confinement time in the ITER plasma.
