22.67J Principles of Plasma Diagnostics

22.67J Principles of Plasma Diagnostics (Fall 2023, MIT OCW). Instructor: Prof. Jack D. Hare. This course is an introduction to the physical processes used to measure the properties of plasmas. It will cover diagnostics suitable for a wide range of plasmas, including magnetically confined fusion plasmas and high-energy-density plasmas. Techniques include the measurements of magnetic and electric fields, particle flux, refractive index, emission and scattering of electromagnetic waves, and nuclear diagnostics. (from ocw.mit.edu)
