Below is a list of instruments that are used in the Lawrenceville Plasma Physics Experiment LPPX.  The instruments measure various things.  Some measure how much fusion is taking place.  This video shows why quality instruments and measurements are a crucial part of fusion experiments.

Instruments

ICCD Camera
Pinhole Camera
X-ray Lens
Scintillators (3 of them, PMT-xray detectors, each behind a different thickness of copper filter)
X-ray spectrometer
2 Neutron Time of Flight Detectors
1 large Faraday Cup with Graphite Collector Surface
2 smaller Faraday cups
2 rogowski coils
Other rogowski coils
Oscilloscopes synched up to everything
[[High Voltage probes]
Radiation Badge in a lead box
Radiation Shielded room
Bubble Detector
Silver Activation Detector
Pressure Transducer

(Note:  In addition to pictures of instruments, include pictures of data gathered, and schematics.  Keywords required.)

Workflow

1) Develop Posts on Instruments  In lieu of this wiki we could set up a specific “blog” for instruments so that one could just fill in fields for each section such as:
*  name
* purpose
* description (appearance, how it works)
*  classification
*  alternatives (what else could do/take this sort of measurement?  Redundancy is important)
*  stage used in (at what point of experiment - pipeline)
*  range (measurement range)
*  cost
* issues (pros and cons, reliability)
* What we hope to get - “ideal measurements would look like…”
* As used elsewhere (examples, links of this instrument used elsewhere)

2)  Integrate Posts and LPPX Pictures
This requires development of the “Photo Project”.  The workflow for this is:

* see what pictures we already have of each of these instruments,
* take more pics of different facets of them to fill the gaps
* develop a full working sequence of images to explain the process and relevance,
* Get action shots of the images as used by the LPPX team
* encourage people from other projects to post like images
* Get pics of the results, readouts, data. 

3)  Make the information and images available for further use
This information has many uses. 
*  Open source science - making the experiment transparent, inviting scrutiny, feedback and help
*  Demonstration of process - telling the story of the hunt for fusion
*  Demonstration of the work and costs -  inviting funding
*  Educational Resource - Making assets available (info and images) for developing educational materials,
*  Cultural Resource - Making assets available for cultural projects, to inspire art and involvement
*  Marketing Resource - Making assets available to help spread the ideas
