Abstract:
The mission of the JT-60SA project is to complement ITER's capabilities by addressing the fundamental physics and engineering challenges necessary to develop a practical and reliable fusion power plant. Diagnostics play a pivotal role in achieving this mission, especially the Thomson Scattering (TS) diagnostic systems developed by a collaborative Japan-EU team. The edge Thomson scattering of JT-60SA is tailored to measure the low field side outer region of the plasma, in particular, to resolve the electron temperature Te and density ne. The collection optics of the edge TS system have a critical role in meeting the required field of view and spatial resolution despite the limited space. This work presents a comprehensive optomechanical design of the optics assembly, whose main features are telecentricity and compactness, highlighting its capabilities. The tests undertaken to verify its performance: focal plane identification, thermal cycle, and magnification, are described.
