Ion temperature, rotation, and density are key parameters to evaluate the performance of present and future fusion reactors. These parameters are critical for understanding ion heat, momentum, and particle transport, making it mandatory to properly diagnose them. A common technique to measure these properties is charge exchange recombination...

We describe the design of a Thomson scattering (TS) diagnostic to be used on the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART). SMART is a spherical tokamak being commissioned in Spain that aims to explore positive triangularity and negative triangularity plasma scenarios at a low aspect ratio. The SMART TS diagnostic is designed to operate at high...

A multi-energy soft x-ray diagnostic is planned to operate in the small aspect ratio tokamak (SMART), consisting of five cameras: one for core measurements, two for edge, and two for divertors. Each camera is equipped with four absolute extreme ultra-violet diodes, with three of them filtered by Ti and Al foils for C and O line emissions,...

The SMall aspect ratio tokamak (SMART) is a new spherical device, that is, currently being constructed at the University of Seville. The operation of SMART will cover three phases reaching a maximum plasma current ( $I_{P}$ ) of 400 kA, a toroidal magnetic field ( $B_{T}$ ) of 1 T, and a pulse length of 500 ms. Such operating conditions present...
