Abstract

It has been previously suggested that crossed-sightline correlation of electron cylotron emission might be used to measure magnetic fluctuations in high-temperature plasmas. Reported here are the results of a continuing project to determine under what conditions (if any) this measurement will be feasible. An initial conceptual design for the device hardware has been completed. Large portions of the numerical simulation are working, including ray-tracing and emission/absorption packages. An initial discussion of data analysis for the experimental data is presented, and an analysis of the uncertainty in the line center (magnetic field) measurement in terms of the experimental uncertainties is given.
