The Radial Gamma Ray Spectrometers (RGRS) system is been designed at a conceptual level for alpha particle and runaway electron measurements at ITER and is here described. The system benefits from the most recent advances on gamma-ray spectrometry for tokamak plasmas and combines space and high energy resolution in a single device. We find that RGRS as designed can provide information on α particles on a time scale of 1/10 of the slowing down time for the ITER 500 MW full power DT scenario. In case of disruptions with a typical duration of 100 ms, a time resolution of at least 10 ms for runaway electron studies can be achieved depending on the scenario at the different mitigation levels and beam currents we have simulated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
