The effects of thermal trapped particles on the internal kink mode are studied using drift kinetic theory. For equal electron and ion temperatures, the trapped particles increase the marginal poloidal beta at q=1 substantially. For unequal temperatures, dr ...
An analysis of the effect on the wall stabilization of external kink modes due to toroidally continuous gaps in the resistive wall is performed. The effects both with and without toroidal rotation are studied. For a high-beta equilibrium, the mode structur ...
The Joint European Torus (JET) has recently operated with deuterium-tritium (DT) mixtures, carried out an International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) physics campaign in hydrogen, deuterium, DT and tritium, installed the Mark IIGB 'Gas Box' div ...
This contribution describes the results of impurity seeding experiments using neon gas injection into the private fl zone of an ohmically heated TCV single null lower, deuterium fuelled, open divertor configuration. In these first experiments, neon has bee ...
The effect of ELMs on confinement in ohmic H-modes has been investigated by analysing the rates of change of global parameters such as the electron content and the stored energy as a function of ELM frequency. In double-null H-modes, ELMs are found to expe ...
This work describes ion temperature measurements made by means of Doppler line broadening in a rotating magnetic field pinch experiment. A 12-channel Fabry-Perot interferometer has been constructed and profiles of various helium and impurity lines were mea ...
A double discharge TEA CO2 laser of simple design has been tested. The linearly polarized beam delivers a total energy of 14 Joules in 25 ns. The influence of the different gas mixtures on the problem of arcing, delay between pumping and lasing, and evolut ...
The maximum normalized beta achieved in long-pulse tokamak discharges at low collisionality falls significantly below both that observed in short pulse discharges and that predicted by the ideal MHD theory. Recent long-pulse experiments, in particular thos ...
Measurements of toroidal and poloidal rotation of the TCA plasma with Alfven wave heating and different levels of gas feed are reported. The temporal evolution of the rotation was inferred from intrinsic spectral lines of C V and C III, and, using injected ...
