Charge-exchange neutral particle analyzer up to MeV range

[Objectives]
Measure energy spectrum of charge-exchange neutral particles of energetic alpha particle and hydrogen isotopes (H, D, T) emitted from the plasma.

[Detectors, Diagnostic Method]
Energetic neutral particles entering the analyzer are ionized by stripping in a thin carbon foil. The energy and mass of secondary ions are resolved by a combination of magnetic and electrostatic fields (E//B type). Secondary ions are measured with detectors consisting of CsI(Tl) scintillators each connected to a photomultiplier tube (PMT).

Two analyzers have been installed in a vertical and tangential direction.
