Manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and first results with the 3D low-temperature co-fired ceramic high-frequency magnetic sensors on the Tokamak a Configuration Variable

Innovative high-frequency magnetic sensors have been designed and manufactured in-house for installation on the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV), which are now routinely operational during the TCV experimental campaigns. These sensors combine the Low ...

Modeling of the response function of CdTe detectors for a hard X-ray synthetic diagnostic

Stefano Coda, Joan Decker

The response function of CdTe detectors used in a hard X-ray spectrometer system (HXRS) on the TCV tokamak fusion experiment is modeled based on the measured energy spectra from multiple gamma-ray sources. The response function consists of an asymmetric Ga ...

Modelling of turbulent fluctuations measured in the TCV tokamak with gyrokinetic simulations and a synthetic phase contrast imaging diagnostic

Stefano Coda, Stephan Brunner, Gabriele Merlo, Aylwin Iantchenko

Proper comparison of simulated turbulent fluctuations with experimental observations is neces- sary for code validation, and for establishing a link between experimental fluctuation measure- ments and the underlying physics. In this contribution we report ...

Millimeter-Wave Beam Scattering by Edge Turbulence in Magnetically-Confined Plasmas

Oulfa Chellaï

High-power millimeter-waves (mmw) in the electron cyclotron range of frequencies are extensively used in fusion devices. They have become essential for a number of applications ranging from plasma heating and current drive to core confinement preservation. ...

The effect of the secondary x-point on the scrape-off layer transport in the TCV snowflake minus divertor

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Roberto Maurizio

The snowflake (SF) magnetic configuration is investigated as a potential power exhaust solution for a fusion reactor, but also to improve our understanding of divertor physics in general. Unlike a conventional single null (SN), it features an additional ne ...

Millimeter-wave beam scattering by edge-plasma density fluctuations in TCV

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabio Riva, Oulfa Chellaï, Emanuele Poli

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the use of millimeter waves (mmw) at the electron cyclotron (EC) frequencies ranges from plasma diagnostics to plasma heating, current drive and core confinement preservation. For large tokamaks such as ITER, numeri ...

Global Flux-Driven Simulations of Ion Temperature-Gradient and Trapped-Electron Modes Driven Turbulence with an Improved Multithreaded Gyrokinetic PIC Code

Emmanuel Lanti

Performance of tokamak fusion plasmas is heavily linked to the radial heat and particle transport, which is known to be mainly produced by turbulence driven by micro-instabilities. Understanding such processes is thus of key importance for the design and o ...

Homogenization theory for the effective permittivity of a turbulent tokamak plasma in the scrape-off layer

Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno, Oulfa Chellaï

There has been a growing interest, over the past few years, on understanding the effect on radio frequency waves due to turbulence in the scrape-off layer of tokamak plasmas. While the far scrape-off layer density width is of the order of centimetres in co ...
