Abstract

A new pseudolocal tomography algorithm is developed for soft X-ray(SXR) imaging measurements of the turbulent electron temperature fluctuations (d Te) in tokamaks and stellarators. The algorithm overcomes the constraints of limited viewing ports on the vessel wall (viewing angle) and limited number of lines of sight (LOS). This is accomplished by increasing the number of LOS locally in a region of interest. Numerical modeling demonstrates that the wavenumber spectrum of the turbulence can be reliably reconstructed, with an acceptable number of viewing angles and LOS and suitable low SNR detectors. We conclude that a SXR imaging diagnostic for measurements of turbulent d Te using a pseudolocal reconstruction algorithm is feasible.
