Re-design of EU DEMO with a low aspect ratio
The design point that had been chosen for EU DEMO in 2016 is reviewed here and a modification is proposed with a lower aspect ratio. Previously the same aspect ratio, A, was chosen for EU DEMO as in major tokamak experiments including ITER (A = 3.1), and, ...
2024Integrated modelling of neon impact on JET H-mode core plasmas
Nuclear fusion reactor plasmas will need to exhaust a significant proportion of energy flux through radiative processes, to enable acceptable divertor loads. This can be obtained by line radiation from impurities, injected from the plasma edge. There are h ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023A machine-learning-based tool for last closed-flux surface reconstruction on tokamaks
Olivier Sauter, Alessandro Pau, Xiaojuan Liu, Chenguang Wan
Tokamaks allow to confine fusion plasma with magnetic fields. The prediction/reconstruction of the last closed-flux surface (LCFS) is one of the primary challenges in the control of the magnetic configuration. The evolution in time of the LCFS is determine ...
IOP Publishing Ltd2023Modelling of nonneutral plasmas trapped by electric and magnetic fields relevant to gyrotron electron guns
Gyrotrons are a class of high-power vacuum-electronics microwave sources, which are envisioned to play an important role in the domain of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Indeed, only gyrotrons are capable of producing continuous electromagnetic waves ...
