Shadowing effects in simulated Alcator C-Mod gas puff imaging data

A synthetic gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostic is applied to a gyrokinetic turbulence simulation of Alcator C-Mod with the objective of assessing the impact of turbulent plasma fluctuations on the GPI neutral density field. We find that these effects are significant for much of the run, resulting in...
