Abstract
A diamagnetic diagnostic system is designed, prepared and installed at Aditya Upgrade Tokamak. Also, the raw data is acquired in a specified acquisition system with suitable front-end electronics. The entire system consists of separate loops and is first calibrated in the presence of all coils, which conduct electricity during the plasma discharge. Then, the change in the toroidal magnetic field due to the plasma is measured using the diamagnetic system, and hence, several plasma parameters including poloidal beta, stored energy, etc. are estimated. The measurements were then repeated during various tests of the tokamak plasma, and several interesting facts were observed. The present paper covers the entire concept of designing magnetic diagnostics–from basic considerations to final data interpretation.
