| Research Abstract |
Simultaneous measurements of the magnetic field pitch angle, ion temperature, rotation, electron density and its fluctuation in the plasma edge region are obtained by using Zeeman polarimetry, Charge eXchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS) and Beam Emission Spectroscopy (BES) with a 10keV Li-beam probing system on JT-60U. The diagnostic has 20-ch viewing chords covering the plasma peripheral region of normalized minor radius r/a ~0.8-1 with a spatial resolution of up to ~1cm. The edge current density profile with the local peak at the plasma edge has been identified in the H-mode plasma, which is correlated with large pressure gradient in the pedestal region.
