Description
The retarding field energy analyzer (RFEA) remains the more reliable diagnostic to measure the ion temperature in the boundary plasmas of magnetic fusion devices. A compact, simple design RFEA have been developed for investigations on the tokamak ISTTOK and TJ-II stellarator. More recently a five-channel RFEA has been successfully tested allowing the simultaneous measurement of the ion temperature profile. The conditions of the RFEA operation in poor alignment along magnetic field are considered
