The physics of diagnostic techniques used to determine the properties of plasmas produced in fusion research is examined. The physics behind particle and probe diagnostics, plasmas refractive index measurements, the spectroscopy of plasma emission from free and bound electrons, the scattering of electromagnetic radiation and fusion product detection are reviewed.
The underlying physics behind diagnostic techniques used in fusion research.
Methods of measuring key fusion parameters from first principles.
