A Laser-Based Diagnostic for Tracing Magnetic Field Lines in Spheromks and Other Self-Organized Magnetically Confined Plamas

Description: We are in the process of testing a new technique for measuring the magnetic field-line topology in magnetically confined plasmas. The basic idea behind the FLIRT (Field LIne TRacing) diagnostic is to use a high powerful short pulse laser to launch a burst of energetic ({approx}100keV) electrons from a target passing through the plasma of interest; these electrons then generally follow field lines until they strike a solid surface, where a burst of x-rays is produced and then detected. The field… more
