Looking for others to discuss Thomson scattering measurements of electron
temperature in plasmas. Specifically, anyone who has experience with this
diagnostic on spheromaks would be great.

I'm a graduate student currently working on a Thomson scattering system
for a small spheromak at Berkeley. I'm interested in technical nuances
associated with this diagnostic some of which are specific to spheromaks
and some of which are just general technical problems with this system.

Thanks.
