Abstract
The presented synchrotron radiation model is an addition to the library of Cherab’s radiation
models and follows the ideology used in both Cherab and Raysect. This makes it applicable
to a wide range of diagnostics and allows it to cover many features of synchrotron radiation
observed in Tokamak discharges. To make the model variable, the two main inputs into the
model were made as general as possible. The first is a 6D electron distribution function and
the second is a magnetic field in the form of a 3D vector function. These inputs in
combination with the Raysect’s general 3D ray tracing capabilities make it possible to treat a
wide range of phenomena. For example observable effects of 3D magnetic fields on camera
images and reflections of the synchrotron radiation from the first wall. The contribution will
give a brief description and discussion of the model possibilities and examples of forward
models of 2D CCD camera images.
