Notes:
In conjunction with γ-ray diagnostic development for the NOVA Upgrade and Alcator C-MOD experiments, we have assembled a comprehensive set of absolutely calibrated γ-ray sources and several γ-ray detectors. These tools will be used in characterizing and calibrating new γ-ray diagnostic systems as they are assembled. The γ-ray sources comprise both radioisotopes and nuclear reactions. The latter are generated in the MIT Cockcroft–Walton fusion-product generator. The detectors include several "standard'' NaI(Tl) scintillators and a high-resolution germanium detector. This paper briefly discusses the diagnostics planned for NOVA Upgrade and Alcator C-MOD. In addition it describes the γ-ray sources and detector characterizations we have performed in the laboratory.
