RESUMO

In this work, we have made simultaneous measurements of three hydrogen emission lines on our tokamak. From the measurements of absolute brightness of the Ha , H b e Hg lines an using data from Johnson an Hinnov table, was possible to determine electronic ensities an temperatures during the tokamak ischarges. For this,we have used, an refined, a technique developed in a recent PhD thesis in our work group. This technique uses the concept of particle confinement time uniqueness. The main upgrades made in this diagnostic were: the use of three spectrometers for simultaneous measurements of the hydrogen emissions, installation of optical fibers to collect the light emitte by the plasma, adoption of a collimation system for having some spatial definition of the measurements, use of a greater range of temperature values uring the data analysis and development of a new method (algorithm) for obtaining the electronic densities and temperatures in the plasma. The average temperature and density obtained was about 7.5 eV and 7.0 ·1012cm-3, respectively. The results obtained are in accordance with the expected values for these parameters at the edge of the NOVA-UNICAMP tokamak plasma. This indicates that this diagnostic can be used to monitor the electronic densities and temperatures in tokamak plasmas. Additionally, we have made experiments with multichannel detectors, and the hydrogen gas was replaced by helium, in an attempt to show the versatility of the proposed diagnostic.
