Abstract
For physics interpretations as well as for control of advanced operational scenarios the knowledge of electron temperature and density profiles of the ITER plasma is absolutely necessary. The specifications for the core measurements are 10% accuracy for the electron temperature at a spatial resolution of 10 cm over the temperature range 0.5 – 30 keV, 5% accuracy for the density at a spatial resolution of 30 cm over the range 0.1 – 3.0* 1020 m-3. The repetition rate of the measurements should be 100 Hz.
