Plasma radiation dynamics with the upgraded Absolute Extreme Ultraviolet tomographical system in the Tokamak a Configuration Variable

We introduce an upgraded version of a tomographical system which is built up from Absolute Extreme Ultraviolet-type (AXUV) detectors and has been installed on the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV). The system is suitable for the investigation of fast ...

A comprehensive study of electrostatic turbulence and transport in the laboratory basic plasma physics device TORPEX

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Fabio Avino, Kyle Gustafson, Alexandre Dominique Bovet, Davoud Iraji

TORPEX is a toroidal device located at the CRPP-EPFL in Lausanne. In TORPEX, a vertical magnetic field superposed on a toroidal field creates helicoidal field lines with both ends terminating on the torus vessel. The turbulence driven by magnetic curvature ...

Bifurcated Helical Core Equilibrium States in Tokamaks

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Antoine Pochelon, David Pfefferlé, Federico David Halpern, Daniele Brunetti, Jonathan Rossel, Mattia Albergante

Tokamaks with weak to moderate reversed central shear in which the minimum rotational transform

q_{min}

is in the neighbourhood of unity can trigger bifurcated MagnetoHydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium states, one of which is similar to a saturated ideal ...

Helical core tokamak MHD equilibrium states

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Antoine Pochelon, Jonathan Rossel, Mattia Albergante

Bifurcated magnetohydrodynamic tokamak equilibrium states with axisymmetric or helical core structure are computed. When a peaked pressure profile is chosen, the helical core structures appear like the {em snakes} that are observed in the JET tokamak. They ...

Blob-induced toroidal momentum transport in simple magnetized plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler

The link between toroidal flows and density blobs is experimentally demonstrated in TORPEX simple magnetized plasmas: momentum is transferred from an ideal-interchange mode to density blobs. The phase shift between the toroidal flow and the density perturb ...

Blob motion and control in simple magnetized plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Davoud Iraji

The radial propagation of plasma blobs and possibilities of influencing it are investigated in the TORPEX toroidal experiment [Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 (2006)]. The effect of changing the connection length and the neutral background pressure ...

Transport studies in the snowflake divertor in TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Wouter Vijvers, Francesco Piras

The transport of heat and particles in a tokamak plasma with a snowflake divertor has been studied in recent TCV experiments. Estimates of the power flux onto the divertor plates are obtained from measurements with multiple infrared cameras and Langmuir pr ...

Three-Dimensional Imaging of a Radially Propagating Plasma Blob Using Conditional Sampling Techniques

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler

We present 3-D imaging of plasma blobs, generated from ideal interchange turbulence in the TORPEX device, obtained by applying different conditional sampling techniques to electrostatic probe data. Time-evolving spatial profiles of electron density, temper ...

"Snowflake" H Mode in a Tokamak Plasma

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jean-Marc Moret, Benoît Labit, Francesco Piras, János Márki, Andreas Pitzschke

An edge-localized mode (ELM) H-mode regime, supported by electron cyclotron heating, has been successfully established in a snowflake (second-order null) divertor configuration for the first time in the TCV tokamak. This regime exhibits 2 to 3 times lowe ...
