Recent upgrades to CDX-U spherical torus diagnostics include two 10-channel AXUV diode arrays. The multilayer mirror (MLM) array measures the O VI brightness profile in the poloidal plane using the synthetic multilayer structures as dispersive elements. The foil filter array has a tangential view and is equipped with interchangeable clear aperture, beryllium and titanium filters. This allows measurements of radiated power, O VI or C V radial distributions, respectively. The O VI and C V emissivity and the radiated power profiles are highly peaked. A Neoclassical impurity accumulation mechanism is considered as an explanation. For radiated power measurements in the eV plasmas, photon energy dependent corrections must be used in order to account for nonlinear AXUV sensitivity in the range eV. The arrays are also used for characterization of resistive MHD phenomena, such as the low modes, saw-tooth oscillations and internal reconnection events. Based on the successful operation of the diagnostics, a new ultra soft x-ray multilayer mirror diode AXUV diode array monitoring the 34 Å emissivity distribution of C VI will be built and installed on the National Spherical Torus Experiment.
