A Magnetic Diagnostic Code for 3D Fusion Equilibria
Authors: Samuel Aaron Lazerson
Abstract:
A synthetic magnetic diagnostics code for fusion equilibria is presented.
This code calculates the response of various magnetic diagnostics to the equi-
libria produced by the VMEC and PIES codes. This allows for treatment
of equilibria with both good nested
ux surfaces and those with stochastic
regions. DIAGNO v2.0 builds upon previous codes through the implemen-
tation of a virtual casing principle. The codes is validated against a vacuum
shot on the Large Helical Device where the vertical field was ramped. As
an exercise of the code, the diagnostic response for various equilibria are
calculated on the Large Helical Device (LHD).
