Novel approach to Abel inversion.
Simple yet versatile, physically valid emissivity functions for peaked and hollow profiles with only two determinable parameters are proposed for performing Abel inversion. The advantages of the proposed functions have been explored. The inversion is very fast, accurate, convenient, and viable, in contrast to the existing methods. The validation of these functions has been confirmed by using simulated data under various conditions. The error in the process has been computed and found to depend on the functional form of the model emissivity. A comprehensive comparison has been drawn with the existing method and it has been found to offer a definite advantage over the existing technique in some respects, especially for real time applications. Limitation of this technique has also been discussed. The soft x-ray and visible light emissivity profile of SINP tokamak has been successfully obtained by using this method.
