Actuator and diagnostic requirements of the ITER Plasma Control System

The ITER Plasma Control System (PCS) requires an extensive set of about 50 diagnostic systems to measure the plasma response and about 20 actuators to act on the plasma to carry out its control functions. The specifications and real limitations of the actu ...

Edge Localized Mode Control in TCV

Jonathan Rossel

The Tokamak concept, based on magnetic confinement of a hydrogen plasma, is one of today's most promising paths to energy production by nuclear fusion. The experimental scenarios leading to the largest fusion rate are based on a high confinement plasma reg ...

Interpretation of the effects of electron cyclotron power absorption in pre-disruptive tokamak discharges in ASDEX Upgrade

Olivier Sauter, Daniele Brunetti, Hartmut Zohm

Tokamak disruptions are events of fatal collapse of the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) confinement configuration, which cause a rapid loss of the plasma thermal energy and the impulsive release of magnetic energy and heat on the tokamak first wall components. T ...

Infrared Thermography of Divertor ELM Heat Loads on TCV

János Márki

Edge Localised Mode (ELM)-induced heat loads, in particular divertor heat loads present one of the main challenges in adopting nuclear fusion as an industrial-scale energy source. At present, the type-I ELMy plasma regime is chosen as the most suitable ope ...

Feedback control of the proximity to marginal RWM stability using active MHD spectroscopy

Holger Reimerdes

DIII-D experiments yield the first proof-of-principle results in feedback control of the proximity to the resistive wall mode (RWM) stability boundary using an active MHD spectroscopic stability measurement and neutral beam injection heating. In contrast t ...

Boundary conditions for plasma fluid models at the magnetic presheath entrance

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern

The proper boundary conditions at the magnetic presheath entrance for plasma fluid turbulence models based on the drift approximation are derived, focusing on a weakly collisional plasma sheath with Ti≪Te and a magnetic field oblique to a totally absorbing ...

Integrated real-time control of MHD instabilities using multi-beam ECRH/ECCD systems on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Jonathan Rossel

Simultaneous real-time control of multiple MHD instabilities is experimentally demonstrated in the TCV tokamak. Multiple sources of EC heating and current drive, injected through real-time controlled launchers, are used to stabilize 3/2 and 2/1 neoclassica ...

First results on the plasma fluctuations of the TORPEX device in the new magnetic field configurations

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Fabio Avino, Annamaria Mosetto, Alexandre Dominique Bovet

The TORoidal Plasma EXperiment (TORPEX) is a basic plasma physics device where a Simple Magnetized Torus configuration (SMT) can be obtained superimposing a small vertical magnetic field component on the main toroidal field, resulting in open magnetic heli ...

Low-frequency linear-mode regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Paolo Ricci, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Annamaria Mosetto

Motivated by the wide range of physical parameters characterizing the scrape-off layer (SOL) of existing tokamaks, the regimes of low-frequency linear instabilities in the SOL are identified by numerical and analytical calculations based on the linear, dri ...
