| Popis: | A gold film detector was developed in order to measure the plasma density profile by use of the gold neutral beam probe. The detector is a kind of neutral beam detector composed of a rectangular entrance collimator, two sets of grid plates, a gold thin film, a quartz backing, and a microcarbon coated copper plate. The secondary electrons emitted from the gold film were utilized for the neutral beam detection. The yield curves of the secondary electrons were measured as a function of the incident angle and electron energy in both cases of the gold neutral probing beam and ultraviolet ray injection. Time evolution of the plasma line density was measured by adjusting the incident angle and adding a beam chopping method. The result was in good agreement with the line density measured by a microwave interferometer. It was found that this film detector was quite useful in the viewpoint of simultaneous measurements of the electrostatic potential and plasma density profiles. |
