In this work, we use a method based on the concept of particle confinement time [Formula: see text] uniqueness to calculate the electron density and temperature in ohmically heated, edge plasma of the Hefei tokamak-7. Here, with the help of the data taken from Johnson and Hinnov’s table, we have done an extensive work to find electron densities and temperatures that satisfy the [Formula: see text] uniqueness to evaluate the temporal evolution of electron density [Formula: see text] and temperature [Formula: see text]. The results are in good agreement as measured from the Langmuir probe array in previous works.

The neutral density and particle confinement time in the ELMO Bumpy Torus-Scale Experiment (EBT-S) have been determined by two different techniques. These involve a spectroscopic measurement of molecular and atomic hydrogen emissions and a time-decay measurement of a fast-ion population using a diagnostic neutral beam. The results from both diagnostics exhibit identical trends for either estimate, although the absolute values differ by a factor of 2 to 3. The observed variations with fill gas pressure and microwave power from either technique are consistent with measurements of electron density and temperature. In this paper, the measurement techniques are discussed, and the results are compared in the context of consistency with independently observed plasma behaviour.
