Compact Torus Diagnostics

Compact Torus Diagnostics involve the use of specialized instruments to measure and analyze the behavior of plasma in compact torus devices, which are experimental fusion reactors. These diagnostics assess various parameters, such as temperature, density, and magnetic field strength within the plasma. Understanding these factors is crucial for optimizing the conditions for nuclear fusion, as they help researchers evaluate performance and stability. Accurate diagnostics enable scientists to gather data that informs the design and operation of future fusion reactors, ultimately contributing to advancements in clean energy technology.
