A new high spatial resolution main-ion (deuterium) charge-exchange spectroscopy system covering the toka- mak boundary region has been installed on the DIII-D tokamak. Sixteen new edge main-ion CER sightlines have been combined with nineteen impurity sightlines in a tangentially viewing geometry on the DIII-D mid- plane with an interleaving design that achieves 8 mm inter-channel radial resolution for detailed profiles of main-ion temperature, velocity, charge-exchange emission and neutral beam emission. At the plasma bound- ary, we find a strong enhancement of the main-ion toroidal velocity that exceeds the impurity velocity by a factor of two. The unique combination of experimentally measured main-ion and impurity profiles provide a powerful quasi-neutrality constraint for reconstruction of tokamak H-mode pedestals.
