Initial studies of plasma facing component surface conditioning in the national spherical tokamak experiment upgrade with the materials analysis particle probe

An innovative PFC diagnostic, the Materials Analysis Particle Probe (MAPP) was used to study the chemistry of Plasma Facing Components (PFCs) in the National Spherical Tokamak Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U). NSTX-U used boronization as conditioning strategy during the 2015–2016 experimental campaign. D...
