Plans for alpha-particle experiments on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor and Compact Ignition Tokamak are described. The main physics issue is whether alpha particles are confined long enough to be thermalized. Some of the diagnostic methods required to measure alpha-particle confinement are briefly described.
