Validation of 2D T e and n e measurements made with Helium imaging spectroscopy in the volume of the TCV divertor

Basil Duval, Patrick Blanchard, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Artur Perek, Sophie Danielle Angelica Gorno, Claudia Colandrea, Dmytry Mykytchuk, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Hugo De Oliveira, Filippo Bagnato, Lorenzo Martinelli, Nicola Offeddu

Multi-spectral imaging of helium atomic emission (HeMSI) has been used to create 2D poloidal maps of T-e and ne in TCV's divertor. To achieve these measurements, TCV's MANTIS multispectral cameras (Perek et al 2019 Rev. Sci. Instrum. 90 123514) simultaneou ...

Molecular and ionized gas in tidal dwarf galaxies: the spatially resolved star formation relation

Yves Revaz

Tidal dwarf galaxies (TDGs) are low-mass objects that form within tidal and/or collisional debris ejected from more massive interacting galaxies. We use CO(1-0) observations from Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array and integral-field spectroscopy ...

A 1.5D fluid-Monte Carlo model of a hydrogen helicon plasma

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

Helicon plasma sources operating with hydrogen or deuterium might be attractive for fusion applications due to their higher power efficiency compared to inductive radiofrequency plasma sources. In recent years, the resonant antenna ion device (RAID) has be ...

Towards understanding reactor relevant tokamak pedestals

Jonathan Graves, Ben McMillan, Daniele Brunetti

The physics of the tokamak pedestal is still not fully understood, for example there is no fully predictive model for the pedestal height and width. However, the pedestal is key in determining the fusion power for a given scenario. If we can improve our un ...

An improved understanding of the roles of atomic processes and power balance in divertor target ion current loss during detachment

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Nicola Vianello, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Roberto Maurizio, Mirko Wensing, Hugo De Oliveira, Claudio Marini

The process of divertor detachment, whereby heat and particle fluxes to divertor surfaces are strongly diminished, is required to reduce heat loading and erosion in a magnetic fusion reactor to acceptable levels. In this paper the physics leading to the de ...

Progress in simulating SOL plasma turbulence\\with the GBS code

Paolo Ricci, Paola Paruta, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Christoph Wersal, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

The GBS code has been developed in the last few years to simulate plasma dynamics in tokamak SOL conditions. GBS advances the drift-reduced Braginskii equations, solving at the same time the neutral atoms kinetic equation by the method of characteristics. ...

Migration of surface excitations in highly-excited nanosystems probed by intense resonant XUV radiation

Marcel Drabbels

Ionization dynamics of resonantly excited helium nanodroplets have been studied by intense XUV light. By doping the nanodroplets with atoms that either attach to the surface or submerge into the center of the droplet, one can study the dynamics of excitati ...

The interaction between neutral particles and turbulent plasma in the tokamak SOL

Paolo Ricci, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Christoph Wersal

The first-principle understanding of the processes in the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) of a tokamak is crucial for the development of a thermonuclear reactor. Since the plasma temperature in the SOL is rather low, the plasma is typically not fully ionized, and t ...

Collective Autoionization in Multiply-Excited Systems: A novel ionization process observed in Helium Nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Nils Benedict Brauer, Robert Richter

Free electron lasers (FELs) offer the unprecedented capability to study reaction dynamics and image the structure of complex systems. When multiple photons are absorbed in complex systems, a plasma-like state is formed where many atoms are ionized on a fem ...

NBI fast ion confinement in the helical core of MAST hybrid-like plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, David Pfefferlé, Cyril Misev

Energetic ions are found to be transported strongly from the core of MAST hybrid-like plasmas during long-lived mode (LLM) magnetohydrodynamic activity. The resulting impact on the neutral beam ion deposition and concurrent current drive is modelled usin ...
