Collective Thomson scattering (CTS) can provide measurements of the confined fast-ion distribution function resolved in space, time and 1D velocity space. On ASDEX Upgrade, the measured spectra include an additional signal which previously has hampered data interpretation. A new set-up using two independent heterodyne receiver systems enables subtraction of the additional part from the total spectrum, revealing the resulting CTS spectrum. Here we present CTS measurements from the plasma centre obtained in L-mode and H-mode plasmas with and without neutral beam injection (NBI). For the first time, the measured spectra agree quantitatively with the synthetic spectra in periods with and without NBI heating. For the discharges investigated, the central velocity distribution of neutral beam ions can be described by classical slowing down. These results will have a major impact on ITER physics exploration, since CTS is presently the only diagnostic to measure the confined alpha particles produced by the fusion reactions.

集団トムソン散乱(CTS)は、閉じ込められた高速イオン分布関数を、空間、時間、および1次元速度空間において測定することができる。ASDEX Upgradeでは、測定スペクトルに付加的な信号が含まれており、これまでデータ解釈の妨げとなっていた。2つの独立したヘテロダイン受信機システムを用いた新しいセットアップにより、全スペクトルから付加成分を差し引くことが可能となり、CTSスペクトルを抽出できるようになった。本稿では、中性粒子ビーム入射(NBI)の有無によるLモードおよびHモードプラズマにおいて、プラズマ中心部で得られたCTS測定結果を報告する。NBI加熱の有無にかかわらず、測定スペクトルが合成スペクトルと定量的に一致したのは今回が初めてである。調査した放電において、中心部の高速イオン速度分布は古典的な減速過程によって記述できる。CTSは現在のところ、核融合反応によって生成される閉じ込めアルファ粒子を測定できる唯一の診断手法であるため、これらの結果はITERの物理探求に大きな影響を与えるものである。
