The large physical size of the JET tokamak, its heating systems and diagnostics, and its capability to operate with full deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasmas, including high-power tritium neutral beam injection (NBI), give it unique possibilities in fast partic ...
Advanced tokamak regimes obtained in ASDEX Upgrade, DIII-D, FF-U, JET, JT-60U, TCV and Tore Supra experiments are assessed both in terms of their fusion performance and capability for ultimately reaching steady-state using data from the international inter ...
Fusing the scores of several biometric systems is a very promising approach to improve the overall system's accuracy. Despite many works in the literature, it is surprising that there is no coordinated effort in making a benchmark database available. It sh ...
A semi-Lagrangian code for the solution of the electrostatic drift-kinetic equations in straight cylinder configuration is presented. The code, CYGNE, is part of a project with the long term aim of studying microturbulence in fusion devices. The code has b ...
The long term European materials R&D programme is mainly focused on the development of the following DEMO relevant materials: structural (RAFM steel called EUROFER), plasma facing (W alloy), breeder and neutron multiplier (Pb-17Li, Li4SiO4, Li2TiO3 and Be) ...
Examples of significant fusion materials R&D accomplishments are summarized for three general categories: (1) Fundamental studies of radiation-induced defects and their effects on material properties, (2) development of improved materials, and (3) developm ...
In order to preserve the conditions for an environmentally safe machine, at present the selection of materials fur the structural components of fusion reactors is made not only on the basis of adequate mechanical properties, behaviour under irradiation, an ...
The development of high power gyrotrons in continuous wave (CW) operation for heating of plasmas used in nuclear fusion research has been in progress for several years in a joint collaboration between different European research institutes and industrial p ...
Small specimen test technology (SSTT) has enabled, the development of fusion materials by efficiently using available irradiation volumes. The technology has also evolved in anticipation of the construction and operation of a high-energy neutron source for ...
The evolution of superconductors for fusion research is introduced with a review of a few relevant milestones of the last 25 years. The cable-in-conduit conductors (CICC) are the most promising option for future fusion devices. The design aspects and test ...
