Description

Spatial profiles of soft X-ray intensity (E approximately equal or greater than 1.75 KeV) are measured on JET. One vertical and one horizontal X-ray diode array (100 detectors total), are used. By means of tomographic reconstruction techniques spatial distributions of local X-ray emissivity are derived. Differences in the X-ray emissivity distributions are observed. X-ray distributions measured during limiter discharges have a gaussian shape. Extremely peaked profiles of X-ray emissivity are observed after pellet injection and flat or hollow emissivity profiles are observed during the H-mode of X-point discharges. Simulations of shape and absolute emissivity of the measured profiles are presented. They show that peaked or hollow emissivity profiles reflect similar changes in the density distributions of the different species
