Development of bolometers for ITER
Research report (imported) 2014 - Max-Planck-Institut für Plasmaphysik
Summary
Special requirements have to be met in developing diagnostics for the ITER international experimental reactor, which is to produce an ignited, energy-yielding plasma. The bolometers – radiation detectors for measuring light ranging from radiant heat to X-rays, emerging from the ITER plasma – are being developed at the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Garching.
