A new set of analytical formulae for the computation of the bootstrap current and the neoclassical conductivity in tokamaks

A new set of analytical formulae for calculating the bootstrap current and the neoclassical conductivity in tokamak experiments is presented. Previous works comparing the widely used Sauter model with results of recently developed numerical neoclassical so ...

Ion cyclotron resonance heating with shifted separatrix

Jonathan Graves, Hamish William Patten

Ion cyclotron resonance heating, which we refer to as ICRH-SS, with the quasilinear (QL) separatrix (i.e., the separatrix in the space of QL routes of ion acceleration) located in the region of passing particles is studied. The aim of ICRH-SS is to minimiz ...

Control of NTMs and integrated multi-actuator plasma control on TCV

Olivier Sauter, Jean-Marc Moret, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Cristian Galperti, Mengdi Kong, Francesco Carpanese, Anna Teplukhina, Federico Pesamosca, Emanuele Poli

The control of 2/1 neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) with electron cyclotron (EC) waves has been studied both experimentally and numerically on TCV. Dynamic evolutions of NTMs along with time-varying deposition locations of the control beam have been studi ...

Modeling of neoclassical tearing mode stabilization by electron cyclotron heating and current drive in tokamak plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Kyungjin Kim, Hartmut Zohm, Emanuele Poli

An integrated numerical system is established to model time-dependent behavior of the neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) in a tokamak which solves the modified Rutherford equation (MRE) by coupling with plasma transport, equilibrium, heating and current drive ...

Biexcitonic molecules survive excitons at the Mott transition

Nicolas Grandjean, Jean-François Carlin, Benoît Marie Joseph Deveaud, Raphaël Butté, Jacques Levrat, Eric Feltin, Jean-Daniel Ganière, Gwénolé Jean Jacopin, Georg Rossbach, Mehran Shahmohammadi

When the carrier density is increased in a semiconductor, according to the predictions of Sir Nevil Mott, a transition should occur from an insulating state consisting of a gas of excitons to a conductive electron-hole plasma. This crossover, usually refer ...

Convective cells and blob control in a simple magnetized plasma

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Christian Gabriel Theiler

Blob control by creating convective cells using biased electrodes is demonstrated in simple magnetized toroidal plasmas. A two-dimensional array of electrodes is installed on a metal limiter to obtain different biasing schemes. Detailed two-dimensional mea ...

Blob-induced toroidal momentum transport in simple magnetized plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler

The link between toroidal flows and density blobs is experimentally demonstrated in TORPEX simple magnetized plasmas: momentum is transferred from an ideal-interchange mode to density blobs. The phase shift between the toroidal flow and the density perturb ...

Blob motion and control in simple magnetized plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Davoud Iraji

The radial propagation of plasma blobs and possibilities of influencing it are investigated in the TORPEX toroidal experiment [Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 (2006)]. The effect of changing the connection length and the neutral background pressure ...

Three-dimensional fluid simulations of a simple magnetized plasma

Paolo Ricci

Three-dimensional fluid simulations are performed in a simple magnetized toroidal plasma, in which vertical and toroidal magnetic fields create helicoidal magnetic field lines that terminate on the torus vessel. The simulations are carried out in the three ...
