Abstract:  The Core Imaging X-Ray Spectrometer (CIXS) diagnostic is an x-ray diagnostic to be used at ITER. CIXS will be located in a diagnostic port arranged at the equatorial plasma mid-plane position and used to measure x-rays from the mid to upper parts of the plasma. This diagnostic is designed to measure ion temperature, impurity density, and plasma rotation as a primary diagnostic. Backup measurement include of the electron temperature profile. Achieving these measurements will require the use of an x-ray detector to take measurements of the incoming xrays from the plasma.
