Metal droplet emission by arcing is one of the mechanisms generating dust in a magnetic confinement fusion device. Tungsten droplet production is of particular interest for full tungsten wall devices. The potential of a droplet to introduce impurities in the plasma depends on its velocity, diameter, and angle. The distributions of these parameters has been measured in a dedicated device with multiple independent methods in order to provide useful data to evaluate their effect on plasma operation.

In a addition to a time-of-flight detection system based on light scattering by droplets to measure their size, velocity and angle, a high-speed camera was added to record videos of the flying droplets. Dedicated software was developed to track the trajectories in the video, and fitting the thermal radiation curves to a model of the cooling of particles allows measurement of diameter and initial temperature. This first measurement of initial temperatures reveals that a significant fraction of particles are ejected in a solid state. This is supported by microscopy analysis of the particle deposition showing non-spherical particles.
