Direct damping rate measurements of AEs are obtained using the active MHD spectroscopy system installed on the JET tokamak. The system was recently equipped with new antennas, designed to study especially the modes of intermediate toroidal mode number n, | ...
The Tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) features the highest electron cyclotron wave power density available to resonantly heat (ECRH) the electrons and to drive noninductive currents in a fusion grade plasma (ECCD). In more than 15 years of exploitatio ...
The stability of Alfv´en eigenmodes (AEs) is studied experimentally in the JET tokamak, by observing the plasma response to antenna-driven frequency-sweeping perturbations at the plasma edge. During the 2008/9 experimental campaigns, the complete set of th ...
We have investigated the effect of different ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) heating schemes, of error field modes, of the plasma shape and edge magnetic shear, and of the ion delB drift direction on the stability of Alfven eigenmodes (AEs). The u ...
The influence of local equilibrium parameters on the Alfven spectrum is studied. The aim is to solve the inverse problem: identification of the plasma profiles, and especially the safety factor profile, using measurements of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves ...
Global Alfven eigenmodes are studied using fluid and kinetic plasma models to determine how the finite Larmor excursions of the bulk species and the resonant Landau interactions modify the spectrum in the toroidicity Alfven eigenmode (TAE) range of frequen ...
Experiments are conducted on the JET tokamak to demonstrate the diagnostic potential of Magneto-Hydro-Dynamics (MHD) spectroscopy, for the plasma bulk and its suprathennal components, using Alfven eigenmodes (AEs) excited by external antennas and by energe ...
A hybrid magnetohydrodynamic (M H D)-gyro-kinetic model CASTOR-K developed for the study of Alfven eigenmode (AE) stability in the presence of energetic ions has been applied to the interpretation of recent measurements of Alfven waves in JET. These includ ...
During plasma excitation by high power Alfven waves at TCA, signals at harmonics of the generator frequency are observed in the plasma scrape-off layer. In this paper, experimental investigations of the sheath effect and the excitation efficiency and dispe ...
Alfven waves in fusion plasmas play an important role in a number of situations. First, in Alfven Wave Heating (AWH) schemes. Second, both theory and experiment have demonstrated the existence of Global Alfven Eigenmodes (GAEs). GAEs have been observed in ...
