Experimentally-based ExB drifts in the DIII-D divertor and SOL calculated from integration of Ohm's law using Thomson scattering measurements of Te and ne

The 2D spatial distributions of cross field drift velocities are calculated from 2D Thomson scattering measurements of Te and ne in the divertor and SOL of DIII-D. In contrast with the method that has been used on DIII-D where the 2D distribution of plasma potential Vplasma is obtained from measurem...
