Turbulent ion heating in TCV tokamak plasmas

Christian Schlatter

The Tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) features the highest electron cyclotron wave power density available to resonantly heat (ECRH) the electrons and to drive noninductive currents in a fusion grade plasma (ECCD). In more than 15 years of exploitatio ...

Electrostatic and magnetic transport of energetic ions in turbulent plasmas

Analytical and numerical work is used in tandem to address the problem of turbulent transport of energetic ions in magnetized plasmas. It is shown that orbit averaging is not valid under rather generic conditions, and that perpendicular decorrelation effec ...

Cross-field plasma blob motion in an open magnetic field line configuration

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Gennady Plyushchev, Stefan Müller

The radial propagation of blobs generated from plasma instabilities is investigated in an open magnetic field line configuration. Blob cross-field velocities and sizes are obtained from internal probe measurements using pattern recognition. By varying the ...

Analysis of plasma dynamic response to modulated electron cyclotron heating in TCV tokamak

Ilya Pavlov

The need of durable, economically acceptable and safe energy sources continues to stimulate studies in a field of thermonuclear fusion. The most successful solution for controlled magnetic fusion is the tokamak. The improvement of tokamak performance depen ...

Chapter 4: Power and particle control

Richard Pitts

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 ...

Plasma dynamics with second and third-harmonic ECRH and access to quasi-stationary ELM-free H-mode on TCV

Ambrogio Fasoli, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Yves Martin, Stefano Alberti, Patrick Blanchard, Laurie Porte, Henri Weisen, Mikhail Maslov, Andrea Scarabosio, Gilles Arnoux, Alessandro Bortolon

Intense electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) are employed on the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) both in second- and third-harmonic X-mode (X2 and X3). The plasma behaviour under such conditions is ...

2007

The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER tokamak, for both core and edge plasma regions. Very considerable progress has b ...

Measurement of edge electrostatic turbulence in the TCV tokamak plasma boundary

Jan Horacek

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 ...

Results are presented from the JET Trace Tritium Experimental (TTE) campaign using minority tritium (T) plasmas (n(T)/n(D) < 3%). Thermal tritium particle transport coefficients (D-T, nu(T)) are found to exceed neo-classical values in all regimes, except i ...

Particle transport in tokamak plasmas

Alexey Zabolotskiy

The transport of particles in magnetically confined plasmas is of great importance for the development of fusion energy. It will determine techniques for fuelling, for controlling impurity concentrations and for the removal of the alpha particles produced ...
