Research activities:
Activities are centred around a small tokamak (SINP), R=30 cm, a=7.5 cm, BT=2T, pulse duration variable upto 20 ms. The machine can work either in normal q or low q modes. Major diagnostics available are a multichannel ECE radiometer, mw interferometers, a neutral particle energy analyzer, soft x-ray tomography and spectroscopy. The facility is also equipped with a fairly advanced data acquisition and computational facility.
