Abstract
For ITER operations, additional heating systems are required. One of these systems is the neutral beam injector (NBI). The SPIDER experiment, a small-scale NBI, is going to be built with the aim to optimize the beam source. For this reason it is provided with several diagnostics, among which the Short-Time Retractable Instrumented Kalorimeter Experiment (STRIKE). In this contribution, a characterization of the Carbon Fiber Composite (CFC) tiles, which are the main component of the diagnostic, is presented. Such analyses include tests with a power laser, exposure to particle beams and thermal stress tests. The results are discussed, which will drive the definition of the acceptance tests of the final supply of CFC tiles.
