In the first two weeks of July 2022, a delegation of researchers from the IPPLM and the University of Opole participated in setting up and testing the components of the CO monitor diagnostics installed on the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator in the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald, Germany.
This system was designed by Polish resarchers and is now entering the commissioning phase before the next W7-X experimental campaign, which is planned for the end of 2022. The CO monitor is a spectrometer used to measure light plasma impurities which are of the greatest importance for stable and optimal conditions fot the device operation. Ultimately, it will consist of four independent systems that will measure the spectral lines of elements such as carbon, oxygen, boron and nitrogen.
During the upcoming operational phase, the first part of the spectrometer responsible for measuring the intensity of the carbon and oxygen lines will be put into operation for the first time and tested under experimental conditions.
