Electron-Cyclotron Emission Diagnostic

Reads the plasma's own microwave glow to map electron temperature.

Glossary of Fusion & Plasma TermsUpdated 2026-08-11

The plasma emits at the electron-cyclotron frequency, and because that frequency maps to position via the field, the emission gives a radial electron-temperature profile continuously — a core diagnostic.
