R&D around a photoneutralizer-based NBI system (Siphore) in view of a DEMO Tokamak steady state fusion reactor

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier

Since the signature of the ITER treaty in 2006, a new research programme targeting the emergence of a new generation of neutral beam (NB) system for the future fusion reactor (DEMO Tokamak) has been underway between several laboratories in Europe. The spec ...

Nondiffusive transport regimes for suprathermal ions in turbulent plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson, Alexandre Dominique Bovet

The understanding of the transport of suprathermal ions in the presence of turbulence is important for fusion plasmas in the burning regime that will characterize reactors, and for space plasmas to understand the physics of particle acceleration. Here, thr ...

Progress in the ITER electron cyclotron heating and current drive system design

Timothy Goodman

An electron cyclotron system is one of the four auxiliary plasma heating systems to be installed on the ITER tokamak. The ITER EC system consists of 24 gyrotrons with associated 12 high voltage power supplies, a set of evacuated transmission lines and two ...

Quantitative study of the trapped particle bunching instability in Langmuir waves

Stephan Brunner

The bunching instability of particles trapped in Langmuir waves is studied using Vlasov simulations. A measure of particle bunching is defined and used to extract the growth rate from numerical simulations, which are compared with theory [Dodin et al., Phy ...

Development of scalable electronics for the TORCH time-of-flight detector

Christoph Frei

The TORCH detector is proposed for the low-momentum particle identification upgrade of the LHCb experiment. It combines Time-Of-Flight and Cherenkov techniques to achieve charged particle separation up to 10 GeV/c. This requires a time resolution of 70 ps ...

Exploring the physics of sediment transport in non-uniform super-critical ows using a large dataset of particle trajectories

Christophe Ancey, Joris Heyman

In this article, we present 10 experiments carried out in a steep, shallow water ume made of an erodible bed of natural, uniform gravel. We simultaneously recorded bed load particle motion, bed and water elevation using two high-speed cameras. Particle tra ...

On recent results in the modelling of neoclassical-tearing-mode stabilization via electron cyclotron current drive and their impact on the design of the upper EC launcher for ITER

Olivier Sauter, Timothy Goodman, Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli

Electron cyclotron wave beams injected from a launcher placed in the upper part of the vessel will be used in ITER to control MHD instabilities, in particular neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs). Simplified NTM stabilization criteria have been used in the pa ...

Suprathermal electron studies in Tokamak plasmas by means of diagnostic measurements and modeling

Josef Kamleitner

To achieve reactor-relevant conditions in a tokamak plasma, auxiliary heating systems are required and can be realized by waves injected in the plasma that heat ions or electrons under certain conditions. Electron cyclotron resonant heating (ECRH) is a ver ...
