Experimental confirmation of efficient island divertor operation and successful neoclassical transport optimization in Wendelstein 7-X

Jieping Zhu, Jonathan Graves, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Eduardo Sanchez, Antoine Baillod, Mike Machielsen, Xiaoxue Han, Nicola Vianello, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Alberto Bottino

We present recent highlights from the most recent operation phases of Wendelstein 7-X, the most advanced stellarator in the world. Stable detachment with good particle exhaust, low impurity content, and energy confinement times exceeding 100 ms, have been ...

Determination of tungsten sources in the JET-ILW divertor by spectroscopic imaging in the presence of a strong plasma continuum

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Duccio Testa, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Li Shuai, Alberto Hernando de Castro

The identification of the sources of atomic tungsten and the measurement of their radiation distribution in front of all plasma-facing components has been performed in JET with the help of two digital cameras with the same two-dimensional view, equipped wi ...

Long-lived coupled peeling ballooning modes preceding ELMs on JET

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

In some JET discharges, type-I edge localised modes (ELMs) are preceded by a class of low-frequency oscillations (Perez et al 2004 Nucl. Fusion 44 609). While in many cases the ELM is triggered during the growth phase of this oscillation, it is also observ ...

EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations of the influence of isotope effects and anomalous transport coefficients on near scrape-off layer radial electric field

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Richard Pitts, Sun Hee Kim

EDGE2D-EIRENE (the 'code') simulations show that radial electric field, Er, in the near scrape-off layer (SOL) of tokamaks can have large variations leading to a strong local E x B shear greatly exceeding that in the core region. This was pointed out in si ...

Analysis of deposited layers with deuterium and impurity elements on samples from the divertor of JET with ITER-like wall

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Cristian Sommariva, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

Inconel-600 blocks and stainless steel covers for quartz microbalance crystals from remote corners in the JET-ILW divertor were studied with time-of-flight elastic recoil detection analysis and nuclear reaction analysis to obtain information about the area ...

Measuring fast ions in fusion plasmas with neutron diagnostics at JET

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

Fast ions in fusion plasmas often leave characteristic signatures in the neutron emission from the plasma. In this paper, we show how neutron measurements can be used to study fast ions and give examples of physics results obtained on present day tokamaks. ...

Comparison of the structure of the plasma-facing surface and tritium accumulation in beryllium tiles from JET ILW campaigns 2011-2012 and 2013-2014

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

In this study, beryllium tiles from Joint European Torus (JET) vacuum vessel wall were analysed and compared regarding their position in the vacuum vessel and differences in the exploitation conditions during two campaigns of ITER-Like-Wall (ILW) in 2011-2 ...

Micro ion beam analysis for the erosion of beryllium marker tiles in a tokamak limiter

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Joan Decker

Beryllium limiter marker tiles were exposed to plasma in the Joint European Torus to diagnose the erosion of main chamber wall materials. A limiter marker tile consists of a beryllium coating layer (7-9 mu m) on the top of bulk beryllium, with a nickel int ...

Population modelling of the He II energy levels in tokamak plasmas: I. Collisional excitation model

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Cristian Sommariva, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

Helium is widely used as a fuel or minority gas in laboratory fusion experiments, and will be present as ash in DT thermonuclear plasmas. It is therefore essential to have a good understanding of its atomic physics. To this end He II population modelling h ...

Modelling of tungsten erosion and deposition in the divertor of JET-ILW in comparison to experimental findings

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Duccio Testa, Sun Hee Kim, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Daniel Scott Alessi, Julio Rodriguez

The erosion, transport and deposition of tungsten in the outer divertor of JET-ILW has been studied for an H-Mode discharge with low frequency ELMs. For this specific case with an inter-ELM electron temperature at the strike point of about 20 eV, tungsten ...
