First Ion Temperature Measurements in the MAST-U Divertor via Retarding Field Energy Analyzer
Y. Damizia, S. Elmore, P. Ryan +5
This study presents the first ion temperature (\(T_i\)) measurements from the MAST-U divertor using a Retarding Field Energy Analyzer (RFEA). Embedded within the flat tile of the c…
