The peakedness of the density profile in source-free MHD-quiescent L-mode plasmas with lower hybrid current drive is observed to decrease with decreasing peaking of the current profile. For the discharges investigated, which include normal and reversed mag ...
A pair of toroidally localized in-vessel antennas in Alcator C-Mod were used to excite and detect stable toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) resonances in the frequency range of 400-500 kHz. By ramping the toroidal field, the plasma TAE frequency was swept thr ...
ELMy H-modes in helium-4 plasmas provide valuable information on ELMy H-mode physics as well as a possible early low activation operational phase for next-step tokamaks, such as ITER. With this in mind, a series of helium-4 H-mode experiments were performe ...
L-mode to H-mode transitions (LH transitions) are obtained in a wide range of plasma parameters in TCV Ohmic discharges. LH transitions either occur directly, indicated by a single abrupt drop in D-alpha emission, or present an intermediate 'dithering' pha ...
Magnetic reconnection in collisionless magnetohydrodynamic plasmas is studied under controlled conditions in toroidal X-line configurations formed in the center of the Versatile Toroidal Facility [J. Egedal , Rev. Sci. Instrum. 71, 3351 (2000)]. Profiles o ...
Electromagnetic wave propagation in the Alfven frequency range in two-dimensional (2-D) and three-dimensional (3-D) plasma configurations is investigated by using a recently developed full-wave code, LEMan. The code solves the Maxwell equation globally in ...
The impact of the bootstrap current (BC) has become an important issue in the modeling of quasi-symmetric stellarator devices. Magnetohydrodynamic equilibria have been calculated with self-consistent BC in the collisionless l/nu regime for characteristic q ...
The effect of energetic asymmetrically distributed ions on the stability of the internal kink mode in tokamaks is analyzed. Circulating ions which intersect the resonant surface due to finite radial excursion contribute to the mode either in the region of ...
This paper shows the importance and feasibility of real-time tomography in fusion experiments for the example of soft X-ray (SXR) position measurements. The requirement of non-magnetic real-time diagnostics in low frequencies for ITER is discussed. This is ...
If vibrationally excited molecules are discretised into individual species and proper account is taken of the toroidal geometry in simulating neutrals, some improvement can be made in simulating the anomalous detachment behaviour seen at the outer target o ...
