Abstract

Using the low energy channels of neutral particle analyzers to measure edge ion temperature profile in tokamaks is investigated. The perpendicular velocity distribution of the edge ions is simulated for an H-mode AUG discharge using the guiding-center orbit-following Monte Carlo code ASCOT, and the local temperature is extracted assuming the distribution is Maxwellian. The CX-fluxes due to the test ion ensemble are evaluated.
