A flexible numerical scheme for simulating plasma turbulence in the tokamak scrape off layer
Paolo Ricci, Paola Paruta, Fabio Riva, Christoph Wersal
Simulating the most external plasma region of a tokamak, the scrape-off layer (SOL), is of crucial importance in the way towards a fusion reactor as heat load on the vessel wall, impurity generation, and overall plasma confinement, all depend on the plasma ...
2016Automatic target validation based on neuroscientific literature mining for tractography
Jean-Cédric Chappelier, Sean Lewis Hill, Jocelyne Bloch, Bogdan Draganski, Renaud Luc Richardet, Xavier Vasques, David Slater
Target identification for tractography studies requires solid anatomical knowledge validated by an extensive literature review across species for each seed structure to be studied. Manual literature review to identify targets for a given seed region is ted ...
Frontiers Research Foundation2015Improved 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 ...

2015Formation of a three-dimensional plasma boundary after decay of the plasma response to resonant magnetic perturbation fields
First time experimental evidence is presented for a direct link between the decay of a n = 3 plasma response and the formation of a three-dimensional (3D) plasma boundary. We inspect a lower single-null L-mode plasma which first reacts at sufficiently high ...
Iop Publishing Ltd2014The role of the sheath in magnetized plasma turbulence and flows
Controlled nuclear fusion could provide our society with a clean,
safe, and virtually inexhaustible source of electric power production.
The tokamak has proven to be capable of producing large amounts of
fusion reactions by confining magnetically the ...
EPFL2013Nonclassical Transport and Particle-Field Coupling: from Laboratory Plasmas to the Solar Wind
Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Kyle Gustafson, Alexandre Dominique Bovet
Understanding transport of thermal and suprathermal particles is a fundamental issue in laboratory, solar-terrestrial, and astrophysical plasmas. For laboratory fusion experiments, confinement of particles and energy is essential for sustaining the plasma ...
Springer2013Potential of a plasma bound between two biased walls
Paolo Ricci, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Julien Stanislas Pierre Dominski
An analytical study is presented for an one-dimensional, steady-state plasma bound between two perfectly absorbing walls that are biased with respect to each other. Starting from a description of the plasma sheaths formed at both walls, an expression relat ...
American Institute of Physics2012Long-term effects of grazing exclusion on aboveground and belowground plant species diversity in a steppe of the Loess Plateau, China
Background and aims - Livestock grazing exclusion was widely used to manage degraded grassland ecosystems, but little is known on the effects of long-term grazing exclusion on aboveground and belowground species diversity of the steppe vegetation in China. ...
