Description
A method is developed for calculating uncertainties in reconstructing the equilibrium profiles of the safety factor q and plasma pressure p in the ITER device from external magnetic measurements and from motional Stark effect line polarization (MSE-LP) and motional Stark effect line shift (MSE-LS) signals from excited NBI atoms inside the plasma core. It is shown that, with MSE-LP signals, as well as with MSE-LS signals (the use of which was recently proposed by Nova Photonics, Inc.), it is possible to substantially improve the reconstruction of the profiles that determine the plasma magnetic configuration
