Neutral pressure measurement in TCV tokamak using ASDEX-type pressure gauges

Holger Reimerdes, Hammam Elaian, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Mateusz Gospodarczyk, Guang-Yu Sun, Marc Noël, Elena Tonello

Probing the neutral gas distribution at the edge of magnetic confinement fusion devices is critical for plasma exhaust studies. In the TCV tokamak, a set of ASDEX-type hot ionization pressure gauges (APGs) has been installed for fast, in situ measurements ...
