Abstract
This paper describes the design and the calibration of a time of flight (TOF) neutral particle analyser (NPA) used - in the diagnostics of plasma close to thermonuclear fusion conditions. The analyser can select energy and mass of charge exchange neutrals in the energy range from 0.5 to 250 keV and it is calibrated for hydrogen, deuterium and helium atoms. The utilization of the coincidence technique in the measurement of the time of flight of the detected neutrals also permits discrimination of the particle signal from a random background. In this way, the NPA can operate successfully also in the large neutrons and gammas fluxes characteristic of the high performance fusion plasmas produced in large tokamaks.
