2 -D bent crystal (not to scale) The source is deep and optically thin. A toroidally-bent crystal is required, to place the spatial focus in the plasma. Raw spatial resolution depends on: - Crystal height - Chord length in plasma - Chord-weighted emission - Optical aberrations and crystal bending Requires / ~ 10 -3 (cf. / ~ 10 -4 for -focus) For a crystal of height h: - r(Uport) ~ h/6 ~ 1 cm r(Eport) ~ h/3 ~ 2 cm - - r/r ~ 100 (optically) R Barnsley, Moscow, Nov 2003.

Factors leading to choice of Bragg angle Detector Crystal Low Bragg angle (~30°) :

Factors leading to choice of Bragg angle Detector Crystal Low Bragg angle (~30°) : + Reduced dispersion: = /tan. a) Smaller first-wall penetration for a given bandwidth. b) Smaller detector movement for tuneable spectrometer. + Larger crystal radius for a given crystal-detector arm - helpful with long sight-line. + Greater choice of crystals for short wavelengths. + Detector more remote from port plug. + Reduced effect of conical ray geometry for imaging optics. - Shallower input angle to detector - parallax problems with gas-chamber detector. ~ Requires a toroidal crystal for imaging at B < 45° R Barnsley, Moscow, Nov 2003.

Estimated Poisson signal-to-noise ratios based on counting statistics - SNR ~ (Integral counts in line) / sqrt(line + continuum + n -background). - Main noise source for data reduction is continuum, not n -background. - A wide operational space is available between 10 -7 < f-Kr < 10 -4. - Uses a modest instrument sensitivity of 1. 4. 10 -7 cm 2 per chord. (10 x higher is possible). R Barnsley, Moscow, Nov 2003.

Fits to the simulated noisy raw data - Illustrative of the raw data quality

Fits to the simulated noisy raw data - Illustrative of the raw data quality – (obviously) not the best method of analysis. - Due to the narrower profile, chord-integral effects are less for H-like Kr than for He-like. - For r/a > 0. 7, lower-ionized Kr ions or lower-Z impurities are required. - Under favourable conditions, a quasi-tomographic deconvolution is possible (L-C Ingesson et al).
