Course Objectives
This is a special topics course for those who are interested in experimental and theoretical plasma physics for their future work and ongoing top-notch plasma experiments around the globe.
Course Content
A theoretical course on plasma diagnostics, describing experiments to study plasma diagnostics and instrumentation. Basic approach to invasive and non-invasive diagnostic in general, physics probes, plasma emission and radiation probes, fusion grade plasma diagnostic, laser spectroscopy, particle beam diagnostics, analysis of active and passive diagnostic data, fluctuation analysis.
Course Learning Outcomes
I expect students to develop a sense of understanding and judgment on what kind of diagnostics are acceptable/suitable for different types of plasmas.
