Notes:
The results of the activity of Kharkov and Moscow joint HIBP group during recent years are presented in this report. The mathematical aspects of the diagnostics are discussed more specifically. The HIBP diagnostics need the preliminary trajectory calculations to find the probing pattern, which is possible to realize the plasma facility, and to determine the compatibility between the device and diagnostics. The idea is to receive as much information as possible (that means to cover the maximal plasma cross section by the detector grid) leads to the formulation of the HIBP optimization problem. The properties of this multidimensional optimization problem are discussed and the examples of its solution (HIBP projects for a large number of facilities) are presented. The processing of the experimental data is discussed mainly from the point of view of the formulation of the mathematical problems, the sensitivity and the clearance of the integral operational relations between the plasma parameters to be found, and the measured beam properties. The computational aspects and the results of numerical tests and treatment of the experimental data are discussed for the problems of the electric field, plasma density, and current distribution determination. The common feature of the integral operators containing the specific parts for describing the secondary ionization point in the plasma is emphasized and their regularizing properties are discussed. The probing apparatus used for measurements of the plasma electric potential, density, and current are described. Some results of recent measurements are discussed and the newest data obtained on T-10 tokamak are presented. © 1995 American Institute of Physics.
