The deployment of high power radio frequency waves in the ion cyclotron range (ICRF) constitutes an important operational facility in many plasma devices, including ITER. Any charged particle describes a helical motion around a given magnetic field line, t ...
Numerical simulation of the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is an essential tool for the prediction of the conditions to be expected in future fusion reactors such as the ITER project, now under construction in Southern France. One particularly important is ...
The discovery of an upward counter flow of helium in the outer annulus of the vertically oriented and top-to-bottom cooled ITER PF-FSJS (Poloidal Field Coil-Full Size Joint Sample) in 2002 led to closer investigations of the effect because it may lead to a ...
Understanding particle transport physics is of great importance for magnetically confined plasma devices and for the development of thermonuclear fusion power for energy production. From the beginnings of fusion research, more than half a century ago, the ...
The measurement performance of the baseline system design for the ITER high-frequency magnetic diagnostic has been analyzed using an algorithm based on the sparse representation of signals. This algorithm, derived from the SparSpec code [S. Bourguignon et ...
In parallel to the ITER program, the Broader Approach (BA) activities with three projects are being implemented by the European Union (EU) and Japan. Five research and development (R&D) tasks, mainly on blanket-related materials, are being carried out as t ...
The preparative experimental and analysis work as well as the code development for testing the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) TFMC, one of the large projects of the ITER research and development programme, is described. The expecte ...
The ITER toroidal field model coil (TFMC) has been tested in the TOSKA facility of FzK. The racetrack coil, which uses a circular Nb3Sn cable-in-conduit conductor, is equipped with external resistive heaters for the evaluation of the current sharing temper ...
Accurate magnetic diagnostics are essential to perform reliable operation of any tokamak. The ITER magnetic diagnostics include a wide variety of sensors located on the inner and outer surfaces of the vacuum vessel, in the divertor cassettes and in the cas ...
In this paper we discuss the predictive analysis performed in support of the test program of the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Poloidal Field Conductor Insert (PFCI). A subset of the test program items was considered, with particu ...
