First self-consistent simulations of trapped electron clouds in a gyrotron gun and comparison with experiments

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Jérémy Genoud, Francesco Romano, Ioannis Pagonakis

We report on the initial validation of the novel code FENNECS, which simulates the spontaneous formation of trapped electron clouds in coaxial geometries with strong externally applied azimuthal flows and in the presence of a residual neutral gas. For this ...

Homogenous power distribution along gyrotron collector walls

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray, Miguel Filipe Silva Füglister, Pierre-François Isoz

EC RF power sources will play a major role in the future operation of large scale tokamaks (ITER, DEMO). A 1MW/170GHz gyrotron is the standard RF power unit considered for ITER. Even though the efficiency of such devices has been significantly increased th ...

Experimental Testing of the European TH1509U 170-GHz 1-MW CW Industrial Gyrotron-Long Pulse Operation

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Francisco Sanchez, Ioannis Pagonakis, Konstantinos Avramidis

The upgraded European 1-MW, 170-GHz continuous wave (CW) industrial prototype gyrotron (TH1509U) for electron cyclotron resonance heating and current drive in ITER was tested at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). In this work, we report on the ma ...

European 1 MW, 170 GHz CW Gyrotron Prototype for ITER - long-pulse operation at KIT -

Jean-Philippe Hogge, Francisco Sanchez, Ioannis Pagonakis, Konstantinos Avramidis

The upgraded EU 1 MW, 170 GHz continuous wave (CW) industrial prototype gyrotron (TH1509U) for Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating and Current Drive (ECRH&CD) in ITER was tested at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT). The gyrotron surpassed the pe ...

A Validation Roadmap of Multi-Physics Simulators of the Resonator of MW-Class CW Gyrotrons for Fusion Applications

Stefano Alberti, Francisco Sanchez, Konstantinos Avramidis

For a few years the multi-physics modelling of the resonance cavity (resonator) of MW-class continuous-wave gyrotrons, to be employed for electron cyclotron heating and current drive in magnetic confinement fusion machines, has gained increasing interest. ...

Prototype mitre bends of the ex-vessel waveguide system for the ITER upper launcher: Thermal hydraulic simulations and experiments with off-center mm-wave beams

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Anastasia Xydou, Matteo Vagnoni, Humberto Torreblanca Quiroz

On ITER, long pulse gyrotrons are required as a power source for electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (CD). The microwaves are guided from the gyrotrons, which are placed far from the Tokamak, into the plasma by transmission lines (TLs) and a ...

Large Area Diamond Disk Growth Experiments and Thermomechanical Investigations for the Broadband Brewster Window in DEMO

Minh Quang Tran, Konstantinos Avramidis

An electron cyclotron system (ECS) is required in the European DEMO fusion reactor for plasma heating, magnetohydrodynamic control, especially the suppression of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs), and thermal instability control. Microwave beams of 2 MW, g ...

Integration concept of an Electron Cyclotron System in DEMO

Minh Quang Tran, René Chavan, Hartmut Zohm, Konstantinos Avramidis

The pre-conceptual layout for an electron cyclotron system (ECS) in DEMO is described. The present DEMO ECS considers only equatorial ports for both plasma heating and neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) control. This differs from ITER, where four launchers in ...

The high-power helicon program at DIII-D: gearing up for first experiments

Alessandro Marinoni

Helicon current drive (CD), also called fast wave CD in the lower hybrid range of frequencies, has long been regarded as a promising CD tool for reactor grade plasmas. A newly installed MW-level system at DIII-D will be the first test of this technology in ...
