Strategy and guidelines for the calibration of the ITER radial neutron camera
M. Cecconelloa, R. Miklaszewski, D. Marocco +6
A calibration procedure is proposed for the ITER Radial Neutron Camera. No in-vessel calibration using external neutron sources is required: instead, it is proposed to rely on embe…
The design and performance of the real time software architecture for the ITER Radial Neutron Camera
N. Cruz, B. Santos, A. Fernandes +9
The neutron detection system for characterization of emissivity in ITER Tokamak during DD and DT experiments poses serious challenges to the performance of the diagnostic control a…
Real-time data compression for data acquisition systems applied to the ITER Radial Neutron Camera
B. Santos, N. Cruz, A. Fernandes +10
To achieve the aim of the ITER Radial Neutron Camera Diagnostic, the data acquisition prototype must be compliant with a sustained 2 MHz peak event for each channel with 128 sample…
FPGA code for the data acquisition and real-time processing prototype of the ITER Radial Neutron Camera
Ana Fernandes, Nuno Cruz, Bruno Santos +10
The main role of the ITER Radial Neutron Camera (RNC) diagnostic is to measure in real-time the plasma neutron emissivity profile at high peak count rates for a time duration up to…
