Abstract
Elementary procedures of linear algebra and numerical integration are combined for processing neutral atom time of flight spectra from a tokamak plasma. The method presented provides for on-line information about total neutral particle flux, mean energy, wall erosion rates, etc. at a time resolution of a single time of flight cycle.Keywords
