First simultaneous measurements of Reynolds stress with ball-pen and Langmuir probes.

A new multi-pin probe head was installed and tested at the COMPASS tokamak. The probe head consists of several ball-pen and Langmuir probes in similar geometric configurations, which enables fast, simultaneous measurements of the radial and poloidal electric field components from differences of plasma or floating potentials using appropriately positioned ball-pen or Langmuir probes, respectively. The fast measurements of the radial electric field are compared with other methods of measuring selected frequency components of the radial electric field.
