The pitch-angle scattering rate of a dilute population of 75 keV deuterium ions is measured in a well-diagnosed, relatively quiet, magnetically-confined deuterium plasma. Neutral particle diagnostics detect the fast-ion density in velocity space following a short 10 ms pulse of injected beam ions. The data are compared to the classical theory of diffusion in velocity space caused by many, small-angle, Coulomb-scattering events. Within uncertainties of ≲15%, the data confirm the classical theory.
