Popis: A phenomenological probe model was developed for quantitative fast-ion-measurement using a hybrid directional probe (HDP), which is a directional probe to measure ion current and heat flux at the same position. The secondary electrons due to fast-ion-injection onto the probe surface enhances the ion-saturation-current, thus a thermal probe method was required for quantitative measurement of fast ions. The model gives a simple expression of the secondary electron yield as a function of ion currents and heat fluxes measured by the HDP, and can determine the net fast-ion-current without the calibrations of the thermal probe method. The model was applied to the experimental results of fast-ion-measurements using a HDP in CHS, and the secondary electron yield obtained by the model agrees with the calibration results of the HDP.
