A Fast Neutral Lithium Beam (FNLB) diagnostics was developed to perform the measurement of the density profile and its fluctuations at the edge of the plasma in ETE. The first light signals were collected after the filling of ETE chamber with He gas (10(-4) Torr), where the optimization of this diagnostics was done, to adjust the better point for focalization of the beam and for the optical detection system setup. An extensive study of the variation of the intensity of the light signal with the variation of the gas pressure was carried out. This calibration will be used during shots in ETE to measure the rapidly varying pressure of the pulsed discharge by FNLB technique, a requirement imposed by the use of puff valves for injection of the gas. This paper will also describe the several phases of the development of this diagnostics, discuss the problems occurred and the adopted solutions and show the first measurements of the probing of the edge plasma of ETE with FNLB.. %8 Dec. %N 4B %T First results on the fast neutral lithium beam diagnostics probing the edge plasma of the ETE tokamak %@secondarytype PRE PN %K PLASMA, Emission properties, Density, System, Neutral lithium, ETE, PLASMA, Propriedades de Emissão, Densidade, Sistema, Lítio neutro. %@visibility shown %@group LAP-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LAP-INPE-MCT-BR %@group LAP-INPE-MCT-BR %@secondarykey INPE-12816-PRE/8106 %@copyholder SID/SCD %@issn 0103-9733 %2 sid.inpe.br/marciana/2005/06.29.17.24.55 %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais, Laboratorio Associado de Plasma (INPE.
