Abstract
The neutron diagnostic of future deuterium-tritium (DT) burning experiments [such as ITER] will be of fundamental importance in determination and control major parameters of plasma ion component. Two-dimensional neutron emission measurements will give information for burn and fuelling control and optimization, disruption avoidance and instabilities study. Perpendicular and tangential DT-neutron spectrometers will give information about dynamic of tritium and deuterium distribution function (f(E,r)) for different pitch angle ranges and α-particle birth energy distributions on different magnetic surfaces. Such information gives possibility for bum optimization, determination of α-particle heating profile and study of high energetic ions transport.
