Abstract
Charge-exchange recombination spectroscopy (CHERS), motional Stark effect (MSE), and Rutherford scattering diagnostics are now in operation on the Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) reversed-field pinch (RFP). This is the first time MSE has been applied to measure |B| in the core of a low-field (≤ 0.5 T) magnetic confinement device, an accomplishment made possible by a high quality diagnostic neutral beam and carefully designed collection optics. The Rutherford scattering diagnostic has demonstrated the robustness of this technique for reliable measurement of majority (H) ion temperature.
