Pedestal Structure and Energy Confinement Studies on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Patrick Blanchard, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui

High external gas injection rates are foreseen for future devices to reduce divertor heat loads and this can influence pedestal stability. Fusion yield has been estimated to vary as strongly as

Self-consistent interaction of fast particles and ICRF waves in 3D applications of fusion plasma devices

Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin

Tokamaks and stellarators are the most promising reactor concepts using the magnetic confinement to contain the plasma fuel. Reactors capable of sustaining deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reactions requires the confinement of a very high temperature plasma ...

Superconductivity and fusion energy-the inseparable companions

Pierluigi Bruzzone

Although superconductivity will never produce energy by itself, it plays an important role in energy-related applications both because of its saving potential (e.g., power transmission lines and generators), and its role as an enabling technology (e.g., fo ...

Improved confinement in high-density H-modes via modification of the plasma boundary with lower hybrid waves

Christian Gabriel Theiler, Yu Lin, Peng Xu

Injecting Lower Hybrid Range of Frequency (LHRF) waves into Alcator C-Mod's high-density H-mode plasmas has led to enhanced global energy confinement by increasing pedestal temperature and pressure gradients, decreasing the separatrix density, modifying th ...

Plasma turbulence in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Annamaria Mosetto, Christoph Wersal

In the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) the magnetic field lines are open, channeling particles and heat onto plasma facing components, and constraining their lifetime. This is a critical issue for ITER and future devices -- safe operation of fusion devices ...

Edge Localized Mode Control in TCV

Jonathan Rossel

The Tokamak concept, based on magnetic confinement of a hydrogen plasma, is one of today's most promising paths to energy production by nuclear fusion. The experimental scenarios leading to the largest fusion rate are based on a high confinement plasma reg ...

Extremely Shaped Plasmas to Improve the Tokamak Concept

Francesco Piras

Energy is essential for human existence and our future depends on plentiful and accessible sources of energy. The world population is fast growing and the average energy used per capita increases. One of the greatest challenges for human beings is that of ...

Pedestal Characteristics and MHD Stability of H-Mode Plasmas in TCV

Andreas Pitzschke

The tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) is unique in its ability to create a variety of plasma shapes and to heat the electron population in high density regimes using microwave power at the third harmonic of the electron cyclotron frequency. In the fra ...

Basic Investigation of Turbulent Structures and Blobs of Relevance for Magnetic Fusion Plasmas

Christian Gabriel Theiler

Similarly to neutral fluids, plasmas often exhibit turbulent behavior. Turbulence in plasmas is usually more complex than in neutral fluids due to long range interactions via electric and magnetic fields, and kinetic effects. It gives rise to many interest ...
