Abstract
To control the isotope density ratio of the hydrogen ions in the plasma is an important issue for optimization of burning plasma parameters in ITER. The measurement of the ratio of deuterium/tritium fluxes emitted by the plasma in the energy range of few maximal ion temperatures has been proposed to determine n d /n t ratio in the ITER plasma [1]. Along with the isotope ratio control the measurement of the energy distribution of He atoms in the energy range up to a few MeV can be used to diagnose the fast confined alpha particle behaviour [2]. In this report we will concentrate on the isotope ratio measurements. Possibilities of alpha particle diagnostics have been discussed earlier [3].
