Abstract
Abstract
The Monte Carlo kinetic code EIRENE (Sect. 2) is used for simulating the behavior of neutral species in the edge of tokamak plasma and coupled with fluid plasma codes for a self-consistent description to be compared with measured experimental conditions. The data and visualization toolbox HYDKIN (Sect. 3) has been developed as a pre-processing tool for validation of those atomic and molecular (A &M) data used in EIRENE simulations, such as cross sections and reaction rates for plasma-neutral and neutral-neutral collisions. The restructuring that is being performed to increase HYDKIN readability and usability is here presented (Sect. 4).
