Spectroscopic diagnostics of the edge ion temperature were developed on the T-10 tokamak. Spatially resolved measurements of C and other ionization states of carbon spectral line shapes are provided. Spectra were measured with high spectral resolution using 14 lines of sight in one poloidal section of the tokamak. Each measured line-integrated spectrum contains a combination of multiple local spectra with corresponding values of ion temperature. Modeling of spatial distribution of line emissivity and spectral line shapes along the lines of sight allows the reconstruction of the ion temperature profile on the basis of the closest match of measured and modeled spectra. The fine structure of spectral line, Zeeman effect, and apparatus function are taken into account during data processing. Obtained ion temperature profiles, T(r), at the plasma edge are in good agreement with ion temperature profiles measured by Charge eXchange Recombination Spectroscopy (CXRS) diagnostics of T-10. Use of the CXRS equipment for measurements of passive spectra can provide additional information on the temporal evolution of the edge ion temperature. Developed diagnostics provide necessary data for the research of geodesic acoustic modes, which are strongly dependent on plasma edge ion temperature.
