The Poloidal and Tangential X-ray imaging Crystal Spectrometers (PXCS and TXCS) were developed on Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) to provide spatially and temporally resolved plasmas ion temperature (Ti), electron temperature (Te) and rotation velocity (poloidal- and toroidal-, Vp and Vt) profiles. Each spectrometer consisted of a spherically curved crystal and a CMOS pixelated X-ray Detector. Both spectrometers have recently been upgraded to enhance their measurement capabilities and stabilities. A He-like argon crystal (2...
