SUMMARY OF ECE PRESENTATIONS AT EC-16

At the EC-16 workshop there were 17 presentations primarily on ECE and an invited talk on EBE. There was also a discussion session on the ITER ECE diagnostic system design. ECE imaging, correlation ECE, oblique ECE and EBE imaging diagnostic performance has continued to improve since EC-15. There have been some interesting developments in ECE receiver technology and data analysis that show promise for the future. There is still a need to agree on some potentially critical details of the ITER ECE diagnostic design, and it remains unclear how important the Thomson scattering/ECE discrepancy, seen previously on TFTR and JET, will be for ITER.
