Reflectometría de microondas como técnica de diagnosis en plasmas de fusión y su aplicación en el stellarator TJ-II.

Abstract

This work reports on an experimental technique -microwave reflectometry- frequently used to diagnose magnetically confined fusion plasmas. A description of the microwave reflectometers installed at the TJ-II stellarator is presented, along with some experimental results. Finally, it has been included a brief description of the prospects for reflectometry in ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor).
