●Direct measurement of energetic particles in plasma ( proton, alpha etc. )●Background neutral for charge exchange is required in passive measurement Difficult to obtain central information due to low back ground neutral around the plasma center. Double charge exchange is necessary to measure -particle Line integration
→Pellet Charge Exchange (PCX) by combination of TESPEL & CNPA PCX has been tried in TFTR for -particle measurement New results can be obtained even in non-DT plasma device →Diagnostic development
(1) Establishment of the PCX technique for proton (1/4 mass of )(2)Try helium ion measurement by using PCX(3) PCX in ITER

(Typically 100μs )
By measuring the charge exchange particle just behind the pellet trajectory, the time trace of the particle emission can be tran
slated to the spatial distribution.

He3 minority heating experiment
He-3 minority experiment had been tried in LHD 9th experimental campaign. He4 was used as the majority target gas. Small increase of the temperature could be obtained because the hydrogen still remained. We have plan to measure the He-3 spectrum/profile in the next experimental campaign.
