Thomson scattering diagnostics at the Globus M2 tokamak

The paper is devoted to the Thomson scattering (TS) diagnostics recently developed for the Globus-M2 spherical tokamak and prototyping the ITER divertor TS diagnostics. The distinctive features of the system are the use of spectrometers, acquisition system and lasers that meet the base requirements for ITER TS diagnostics. The paper describes the diagnostic system that allows precise measurements of TS signals, as well as the results of the first measurements of electron temperature and density in both central region of the plasma column and scrape-off layer. The system provides measurements of electron temperature $T_{e}$ in the range of 5 eV to 5 keV and density $n_{e}$ in the range of $5{\cdot}10^{17}{\div}3.25{\cdot}10^{20} m^{-3}$. The use of two ITER-grade probing lasers of different wavelengths (Nd:YAG 1064.5 nm and Nd:YLF 1047.3 nm) allows reliable measurement of $T_{e}$ in multi-colour mode, i.e., assuming that spectral calibration is unknown

Device For Electron Bunch Length Measurement In the Picosecond Region

We designed, created, and tested a device for measuring electron bunch length in the picosecond region. The basic idea behind the method is a circular scanning of the electron bunch in the rotating magnetic field of a TM110 rf cavity. As a result, the longitudinal position of the electrons is transformed into an angular position in a plane orthogonal to the axis. The resolution limit of the instrument is 4 ps (rms)

Modulator For Klystron 5045

The first modulator for a forinjector klystron of VEPP -- 5 is being tested now in BINP in Novosibirsk. The forinjector of VEPP -- 5 will involve a 510 MeV Linac consisting of four accelerating modules. The Klystron 5045 manufactured at SLAC [1] was chosen to drive the accelerating modules. This paper presents a design and some testing results of this modulator. I. INTRODUCTION The modulator is a conventional line type modulator with some supplementary characteristics. A simplified electrical layout of this modulator is shown in Fig. 3. The voltage value in a filter capacitor CF is determined by a phase-control system with six SCRs. The CF charging current is limited by three 500#H inductors connected to the primary winding of the rectifier transformer. In addition, this system provides "soft-start" capability and fast protection. The PFN is resonantly charged through a charging high-voltage SCR-switch (HV-switch), a charging inductor, and de-spiking circuits. The resonant PFN charge..
