Expanded Capability of the Edge Charge-Exchange Recombination Spectroscopy System on JET

A new instrument has been added to the Joint European Torus (JET) edge Charge-eXchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS) suite of diagnostics. The new instrument consists of a short focal length spectrometer coupled to a fast framing CCD camera. With the addition of this instrument, the number of (predominantly poloidal) sightlines is increased by 20 to a total of 58 views. The radial range of the edge CXRS system extends from r/a ~0.5 to ~1.0. The time resolution of this instrument is 10ms, but can be improved to 5ms. This instrument observes simultaneously the neutral-beam induced charge-exchange emission of C VI at 529nm and of Ne X at 524nm, complementing the existing edge CXRS instruments, which can be tuned to observe any visible wavelength of interest. The entire edge CXRS diagnostic suite has been absolutely calibrated and provides measurements of impurity ion temperatures as well as the toroidal and poloidal components of impurity ion rotation. An overview of the edge CXRS diagnostic system on JET will be presented. Preliminary data will be shown from the current JET campaign. In particular, the temporal and spatial improvements afforded by this instrument will provide additional data during the formation of ion Internal Transport Barriers (ITBs) in JET, especially on the relative timing and location of emerging rational-q flux surfaces and poloidal flow spin up.
