Abstract

This paper describes the computation of fusion protons detection efficiency, which has been carried out by means of the known GOURDON code. For this purpose an analytical model of the tokamak magnetic field has been used. Computer simulations of different trajectories of charged particle, on the basis of the motion equations, have been performed with the GOURDON code. Detection efficiency, defined as the ratio of the number of detected particles to that of particles emitted from plasma, has been calculated. The transparency function of the detector system has been derived for given geometry of the ion-pinhole camera. Calculations have been carried out for the detector position used in recent experiments. The poloidal-and toroidal-symmetry of plasma and standard fusion-product source profile have been assumed. The computed detection efficiency is presented as a function of the main radius and particle pitch-angle for different spatial orientations of the detector head.
