In positive ion based Neutral Beam Injectors (NBI), generally corona model is used in analyzing the Doppler shifted spectroscopy diagnostics data for estimating the ion species mix in the ion-source, ion and beam species fractions in extracted beam and power fractions injected into Tokomak. At the beam energies 10-60 keV/amu, the non-radiative processes such as collisional quenching of the excited neutrals affect these estimations when background pressure is ≥ 1 mTorr. We present here a modified corona model that takes into account the effect due to collisional quenching. We describe the application of the present model to a typical Doppler shifted spectral data obtained in SST-1-NBI injector.
