Radial variation of heat transport in L-mode JET discharges

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 paper, we analyze heat transport in the JET tokamak using data from its high resolution ECE diagnostic and analyses based on the transfer entropy (TE). The analysis reveals that heat transport is not smooth and continuous, but is characterized by ' ...

Beryllium global erosion and deposition at JET-ILW simulated with ERO2.0

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

The recently developed Monte-Carlo code ERO2.0 is applied to the modelling of limited and diverted discharges at JET with the ITER-like wall (ILW). The global beryllium (Be) erosion and deposition is simulated and compared to experimental results from pass ...

Improved neutron activation dosimetry for fusion

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Semin Kwak

Neutron activation technique has been widely used for the monitoring of neutron fluence at the Joint European Torus (JET) whereas it is foreseen to be employed at future fusion plants, such as ITER and DEMO. Neutron activation provides a robust tool for th ...

Overview of the JET preparation for deuterium-tritium operation with the ITER like-wall

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Martinus Gijs, Duccio Testa, Jonathan Graves, Patrick Blanchard, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Alessandro Pau

For the past several years, the JET scientific programme (Pamela et al 2007 Fusion Eng. Des. 82 590) has been engaged in a multi-campaign effort, including experiments in D, H and T, leading up to 2020 and the first experiments with 50%/50% D-T mixtures si ...

Interpretative and predictive modelling of Joint European Torus collisionality scans

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Henri Weisen, Alessandro Pau

Transport modelling of Joint European Torus (JET) dimensionless collisionality scaling experiments in various operational scenarios is presented. Interpretative simulations at a fixed radial position are combined with predictive JETTO simulations of temper ...

On a fusion born triton effect in JET deuterium discharges with H-minority ion cyclotron range of frequencies heating

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

An effect due to fusion born triton production has been observed in JET high-performance deuterium plasma discharges with neutral beam injection (NBI) and H-minority ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) heating, using DD and deuterium tritium (DT) neu ...

First principles and integrated modelling achievements towards trustful fusion power predictions for JET and ITER

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Samuel Lanthaler, Alessandro Pau

Predictability of burning plasmas is a key issue for designing and building credible future fusion devices. In this context, an important effort of physics understanding and guidance is being carried out in parallel to JET experimental campaigns in H and D ...

A new mechanism for increasing density peaking in tokamaks: improvement of the inward particle pinch with edge E x B shearing

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Yiming Li, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Federico Nespoli, Alessandro Pau

Developing successful tokamak operation scenarios, as well as confident extrapolation of present-day knowledge requires a rigorous understanding of plasma turbulence, which largely determines the quality of the confinement. In particular, accurate particle ...

Conduction-based model of the Scrape-Off Layer power sharing between inner and outer divertor in diverted low-density tokamak plasmas

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Benoît Labit, Mirko Wensing, Umar Sheikh, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh

A simple analytic model for the repartition of the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) exhaust power between the inner and outer divertors in a diverted low-density tokamak plasma is introduced. Electron heat conduction is assumed to dominate the heat transport, from t ...

Novel method for determination of tritium depth profiles in metallic samples

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

Tritium accumulation in fusion reactor materials is considered a serious radiological issue, therefore a lot of effort has been concentrated on the development of radiometric techniques. A novel method, based on gradual dissolution, for the determination o ...
