Popis: The beam neutralization system for measurement of the spatial and velocity distributions of alpha particles of ITER plasmas was studied. As forward angle detection against the beam injection direction is required for effective neutralization, arrangement of the measurement system using possible ports in ITER configuration is proposed. The count rate of neutralized alpha particles produced by the double charge exchange interaction with energetic He0 beam particles injected is estimated. The ratios of signal to neutron-induced noise are evaluated. When a He0 beam produced by autodetachment from a 1–1.5MeV He− beam of 10mA is injected, the signal to noise ratio becomes greater than 1 at ρ
