Christmas Night
Twas the night before Christmas when all through the houseNo electrons were flowing through even my mouse.
All devices were plugged in by the chimney with careWith the hope that St. Nikola Tesla would share.

Dynamics of light impurities at multimirror trap GOL-3 was studied using imaging spectroscopy diagnostics in VUV and visible spectral range. The results of impurity balance and transport simulation as well as comparison with measurements are presented in this paper. Concentration of impurities in plasma and diffusion coefficient are found out from the measurements. Suitability using VUV and XUV spectroscopy for measuring main plasma parameters is considered.
