A new generation plasma turbulence fluid code for tokamak scrape-off layer dynamics

Minh Quang Tran, Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Annamaria Mosetto, Christoph Wersal, Félix Benedito Clément Musil

Understanding the turbulent dynamics of the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL) is critical for the safe operation of future fusion reactors. In this region of the tokamak device, the plasma exhausts particles and heat onto plasma facing hardware components, wh ...

20 years of research on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Yu Lin

The object of this review is to summarize the achievements of research on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak [Hutchinson et al., Phys. Plasmas 1, 1511 (1994) and Marmar, Fusion Sci. Technol. 51, 261 (2007)] and to place that research in the context of the quest for ...

Enhanced response in Brillouin distributed optical fibre sensors by simultaneous time and frequency pump multiplexing

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Li Zhang

A technique to enhance the response of Brillouin distributed sensors is proposed and experimentally validated. The method consists in creating a multi-frequency pump pulse interacting with a multi-frequency continuous-wave probe. The power of each pulse at ...

Time gated phase-correlation distributed Brillouin fibre sensor

Luc Thévenaz, Marcelo Alfonso Soto Hernandez, Andrey Denisov

A random access distributed Brillouin fibre sensor is presented, based on phase modulation using a pseudo-random bit sequence (PRBS) together with time gating. The standard phase-correlation technique is known to show a noise level increasing linearly with ...

Identification of the ubiquitous Coriolis momentum pinch in JET tokamak plasmas

Henri Weisen, Yann Camenen, Mikhail Maslov

A broad survey of the experimental database of neutral beam heated plasmas in the JET tokamak has established the theoretically expected ubiquity, in rotating plasmas, of a convective transport mechanism which has its origin in the vertical particle drift ...

Tandem collimators for the JET tangential gamma-ray spectrometer

Patrick Blanchard

The tangential gamma-ray spectrometer (TGRS) of the JET tokamak fusion facility is an important diagnostics for investigating the fast particle evolution. A well defined field of view for the TGRS diagnostics is essential for its proper operation and this ...

Reduction of Fixed-Position Noise in Position-Sensitive, Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes

Edoardo Charbon, Matthew Fishburn

By ignoring events originating in noisy areas of a position-sensitive single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD), reduction of noise from fixed-position defects is experimentally shown. Additional experimental results from a position-sensitive SPAD integrated in ...

JET Snake Magnetohydrodynamic Equilibria

Olivier Sauter, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper

Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium states with a three-dimensional helical core that display the characteristics of a saturated ideal internal kink mode are computed to model snake structures that have been observed in the JET tokamak [A.~Weller et al. ...

Measurement and Theoretical Modeling of the Damping Rate of Medium-N Toroidal Alfven Eigenmodes in JET

Ambrogio Fasoli, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Theodoros Panis, Nicolas Mellet

This paper reports on the results of recent experiments performed on the JET tokamak on Alfven Eigenmodes (AEs) with toroidal mode number (n) in the range |n|=3-15. The stability properties of these medium-n AEs are investigated experimentally using a set ...

Direct Measurements of the Damping of Alfvén Eigenmodes for an Assessment of their Stability Limits in Tokamak Plasmas

Theodoros Panis

Direct damping rate measurements of AEs are obtained using the active MHD spectroscopy system installed on the JET tokamak. The system was recently equipped with new antennas, designed to study especially the modes of intermediate toroidal mode number n, | ...
