D-T plasmas require a series of additional measurements for the optimisation and control of the configuration: the14MeV neutrons, the isotopic composition of the main plasma, the helium ash and the redistribution and losses of the alpha particles. On JET an integrated programme of diagnostic developments, for JET future and in preparation for ITER, has been pursued and many new results are now available. In the field of neutron detection, the neutron spectra are now routinely measured in the energy range 1-18 MeV by TOFOR and they have allowed studying the effects of RF heating on the fast ions. CVD diamond detectors have been qualified both as neutron counters and as neutron spectrometers, with a potential energy resolution of about one percent. For the first time the temperature of the fast particle tails has been obtained with a new High purity Germanium detector measuring the gamma emission spectrum from the plasma.
