TCV Divertor Imaging Videos for X-Point Radiator Studies

Four video files provide supplementary imaging data from the TCV tokamak for research on power exhaust in multiple X-point configurations. The data includes multi-spectral imaging from the MANTIS diagnostic and fast imaging from a dedicated camera, capturing the divertor region. S. Gorno of École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne submitted the accompanying article for publication in 2024.

Use Cases

• Analyzing plasma behavior in the divertor region based on multi-spectral video data
• Estimating electron temperature distributions based on the MANTIS diagnostic data mentioned in the description
• Studying turbulent time-scale plasma dynamics based on fast imaging camera data with ~0.01 ms exposure
• Comparing plasma configurations like Jellyfish, Single Null, and Snowflake Minus based on the provided experimental videos

Strengths

• Data is directly linked to a submitted 2024 journal article, providing research context
• Includes data from two distinct imaging diagnostics: MANTIS (9 spectral lines) and a fast camera
• Videos correspond to specific, documented experimental shots (e.g., #77021, #77067)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The fast imaging camera data is noted as 'not absolutely calibrated'
