| Title | Multi-Wavelength Imager (MWI) |
| Description | We have developed a 10-channel multi-wavelength imager to observe the exhaust plasma in the MAST-Upgrade tokamak. Laboratory testing is complete and installation at MAST-U is scheduled from April 2020, in time for the first physics campaign in September 2020. A specific goal of this experiment is to understand how to control plasma detachment which will be essential to control the heat exhaust in future fusion power plants. |
