Sample interview questions: Can you discuss any experience you have with designing and building plasma diagnostics?
Sample answer:
- Designed and constructed a Langmuir probe array for measuring electron density and temperature in a helium plasma.
- Developed a spectroscopic system for measuring the ion temperature and impurity content in a hydrogen plasma.
- Built a microwave interferometer for measuring the electron density in a large tokamak plasma.
- Designed and constructed a reflectometer system for measuring the density and density fluctuations in a fusion plasma.
- Developed a novel diagnostic technique for measuring the electric field in a plasma.
