Upgrade of a 30 kV/10 mA anode power supply for triode type gyrotron

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Damien Fasel, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray, Philippe Marmillod, Albert Perez, Blaise Marlétaz

The RF power of a gyrotron with a triode type magnetron-injection-gun (MIG) can be directly controlled via the voltage applied between its anode and its cathode. Hence, the performance of this type of gyrotron relies directly on the possibilities offered b ...

Local and Global Eulerian Gyrokinetic Simulations of Microturbulence in Realistic Geometry with Applications to the TCV Tokamak

Xavier Lapillonne

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the energy and particle transport is significantly larger than expected from purely collisional processes. This degraded confinement mostly results from small-scale turbulence and prevents from reaching self-sustain ...
