Abstract
A new method combining Li0‐beam probing and spectroscopic techniques has been developed to measure local magnetic fields in a bumpy torus. A collimated thermal Li0 beam is injected into the plasma. The Zeeman pattern of the lithium resonance radiation (22S–22P, 6708 Å) is observed with a Fabry–Perot interferometer. The strength of the local magnetic field is determined from the splitting between two π components of the 22S1/2–22P1/2 transition with the spatial resolution of about 7 mm. The magnetic fields from 2 to 4 kG were measured with accuracy of ±2%. This method is applicable to plasmas of a line‐integrated electron density below 5×1012 cm−2.
