Description

In this contribution we report on various types of special probes which have been developed during the last few years at several European fusion experiments for the purpose to measure relevant plasma parameters in the edge plasma region. The rationale was that in particular the spatial structure and temporal evolution of the plasma potential and its derivative, the electric field, are decisive for the overall stability and in particular for the particle transport across the magnetic field. The probe types used were electron emissive probes, ball-pen probes, cold probes, and various combinations of these. (author)
