Tungsten will be an important element in nearly all future fusion reactors because of its presence in plasma facing components. This makes tungsten a good candidate for a diagnostic element for ion temperature and toroidal velocity measurement, and it makes understanding tungsten emissions important for tokamak power balance. The effect of tungsten on tokamak plasmas is investigated at the Alcator C-Mod tokamak using VUV, bolometry, and soft X-ray spectroscopy. Tungsten was present in Alcator C-Mod as a plasma facing component and through laser blow-off impurity injection. Quasi-continuum emission previously seen at other tokamaks has been identified. Theoretical predictions are presented of tungsten emission that could be expected in future Alcator C-Mod measurements. Furthermore, spectra of highly charged tungsten ions have been studied at the SuperEBIT electron beam ion trap. This emission could prove useful for spectroscopic diagnostics of future high-temperature fusion reactor plasmas.

CO<sub>2</sub> is a promising gas for replacement of SF<sub>6</sub> in high voltage circuit breakers. The electric breakdown in CO<sub>2</sub> and mixtures with C<sub>2</sub>F4 from PTFE nozzles is, however, still not fully understood. To understand the electric breakdown in CO<sub>2</sub> and mixtures with C<sub>2</sub>F<sub>4</sub> from PTFE nozzles fundamental parameters like the temperature and pressure dependence of critical electric fields are needed. Data on critical fields is usually available based on simulations only and experimental validation is lacking so far. Our present contribution aims to close this gap and presents experiments where the breakdown fields in uniform and weakly non-uniform electric fields are determined at various temperatures and pressures. The gas temperatures were estimated from measurements with pyrometers. The results are compared to theoretical predictions.
