Abstract
A silicon-detector-based neutral particle analyzer array was used for spatially resolved measurements of energetic neutral particle distributions in the large helical device. An insertable 13 μm Be foil allowed the neutral particle analyzer to be used as a soft x-ray spectrometer. Measurements were made on LHD for a variety of plasma heating conditions which included neutral beam heating, ion cyclotron heating, and electron cyclotron heating. GNET code simulations were used to solve the drift kinetic equation for the energetic particle distribution in five dimensional phase using a Monte Carlo method.
