1. Objectives Much better spatial resolution Velocity space discrimination W. Heidbrink, M. Van Zeeland, J. Yu FIDA Imaging Proposal

2. Van Zeeland, PPCF (2008) to be submitted. “Imaging” neutral beam (30L) produces red-shifted light (filtered out) Oppositely directed fast ions from counter beam (210R) produces blue- shifted light (accepted by filter) FIDA imaging: Put bandpass filter in front of a camera

3. Excellent agreement with expected image in a quiet plasma Fast-ion distribution function from TRANSP Only one normalization constant in this comparison

4. Improved Ability to Detect Changes in Fast-ion Profile DATA Db=0 Simulation Data - Simulation Theory (no D B ) predicts “hole” near center but this is not observed Transport less evident for “s-FIDA” equivalent (spatially averaged vertically)

5. Velocity-space sensitivity demonstrated by time evolution Camera sees counter Spectrometer favors co Neutrons measure high energy (favor ctr) #132607 on-axis

6. NSTX Camera Will View Co-going Ions View beams from Bay L Radial view of beams  small Doppler shift for injected neutral light Large toroidal component for fast ions  large blue shift for co- circulating fast ions

7. Split light for bremsstrahlung background Not feasible to modulate all of the heating beams routinely Must measure background simultaneously Use custom splitter to image both FIDA light & VB Send some light to s-FIDA to monitor spectra

8. Some Energy Resolution Feasible Used 4-nm wide BES filter to date Custom 2-nm wide filters are available Can rotate filter to image higher energies Narrow filter degrades time resolution (emissivity is ~5 times lower than in DIII-D)

9. Rough Cost Estimate Port Lens assembly (PPPL) Camera $120K Custom splitter ($25K?) Bandpass filters $12K Misc. $20K

10. Conclusions Imaging provides much better spatial resolution Installation will also give velocity-space resolution Coarse energy resolution feasible But…a 2 nd tangentially viewing s-FIDA/f-FIDA system can give comparable velocity-space resolution, better energy resolution (but much poorer spatial resolution) for less money Proposed system is Outstanding for NBCD & AE physics Of limited value for HHFW physics

11. SSNPA Proposal Current system: four radii/pitch with ~10 keV energy resolution & ~5 ms temporal resolution Sacrifice energy resolution to achieve ~0.1 ms temporal resolution Complements f-FIDA with superior pitch resolution Details: open up apertures, operate in current mode, ~$20K cost

12. Measured Spectra Make Sense Background of impurity lines, visible bremsstrahlung, and scattered cold & injected neutral light Net signal appears at the expected wavelenths As expected for vertical views, the blue-shifted and red-shifted spectra are similar.
