Abstract

The scientific objectives of Ignitor, centered on the study of fusion burning plasmas, lead to a choice of diagnostic systems that give priority to those objectives and have a special set of characteristics. These systems have to withstand large fluxes of neutrons and γ-rays which are produced in the surrounding materials. This hostile radiation environment introduces new problems, like radiation induced background and permanent damage to components such as detectors and electronics. The selection of diagnostics tools for an ignition experiment should therefore be based on a set of strict rules. All diagnostics must have a high degree of reliability; a straight line of sight plasma-detector should be avoided as much as possible, and instruments must allow the placement of the detection section at a safe distance from the plasma where it can be properly shielded. A set of important diagnostic systems satisfying these criteria are discussed
