A key issue for steady-state tokamak operation is to determine the edge conditions that are compatible both with good core confinement and with the power handling and plasma exhaust capabilities of the plasma facing components (PFCs) and divertor systems. ...
Almost all optical diagnostics systems on ITER will be based on in-vessel metallic first mirrors. The possible deterioration of their surface reflectivity as a result of erosion by charge-exchange neutrals and re-deposition of material eroded from the plas ...
Almost since the first density profile measurements were made in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of the early tokamaks, it has been recognized that the rate of particle transport perpendicular to magnetic surfaces exceeds that expected on the basis of classical ...
Progress, since the ITER Physics Basis publication (ITER Physics Basis Editors et al 1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137-2664), in understanding the processes that will determine the properties of the plasma edge and its interaction with material elements in ITER is ...
Total radiative powers measured by foil bolometer and AXUV camera systems are compared to SOLPS5 simulations in low and high density deuterium and helium diverted discharges on the TCV tokamak. For low density the match between simulation and measurements ...
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 ...
Significant interaction of ELM filaments with the vessel wall is now observed on JET by several diagnostics. To interpret the experimental data, a model of ELM-filament evolution was developed, with the radial velocity taken from experiment and the decay o ...
Experimental observations on core particle and impurity transport from the Axial Symmetric Divertor Experiment Upgrade [O. Gruber, H.-S. Bosch, S. Gunter , Nucl Fusion 39, 1321 (1999)] and the Joint European Torus [J. Pamela, E. R. Solano, and JET EFDA Con ...
In the reference ECH design, ITER requires a total of 20MW/CW power at 170GHz using gyrotrons with a unit power of 1MW. A higher power per unit (2MW/gyrotron) would result in a strong reduction of the cost of the whole ECRH system, and would also relax the ...
