Formation 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 ...

Global structure and magnetic components of geodesic acoustic modes in shaped tokamak plasmas

Jonathan Graves

Winsor et al. [1] first derived the geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) to be an elec-trostatic perturbation, localized within a narrow radial region of the plasma. There is, however, recent experimental evidence that the GAM also has a magnetic component with po ...

Time-resolved measurements of suprathermal ion transport induced by intermittent plasma blob-filaments

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Alexandre Dominique Bovet

Suprathermal ion turbulent transport in magnetized plasmas is generally non-diffusive, ranging from subdiffusive to superdiffusive depending on the interplay of the turbulent structures and the suprathermal ion orbits. Here, we present time-resolved measur ...

Real-time optical plasma boundary reconstruction for plasma position control at the TCV Tokamak

Basil Duval, Yanis Andrebe, Hoang Bao Le

A dual, high speed, real-time visible light camera setup was installed on the TCV tokamak to reconstruct optically and in real-time the plasma boundary shape. Localized light emission from the plasma boundary in tangential view, broadband visible images re ...

Examination of Nb3Sn Conductors for ITER Central Solenoids

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Boris Stepanov

The performance of two Nb3Sn conductors for the ITER central solenoids was tested. The current sharing temperatures (T-cs) were measured over 17 050 electromagnetic cycles, including four thermal cycles between 4.2 K and room temperature. T-cs declined alm ...

Inferring the magnetic field vector in the quiet Sun III. Disk variation of the Stokes profiles and isotropism of the magnetic field

Philipp Kobel

Recent investigations of the magnetic field vector properties in the solar internetwork have provided diverging results. While some works found that the internetwork is mostly pervaded by horizontal magnetic fields, other works argued in favor of an isotro ...

Turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Annamaria Mosetto

We identify the turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer as a function of plasma resistivity, electron to ion mass ratio, safety factor, and magnetic shear. We find that two main instabilities drive turbulence in the SOL: Drift Waves, with their r ...

Analysis of global hydromagnetic instabilities driven by strongly sheared toroidal flows in tokamak plasmas

Jonathan Graves

Recent numerical calculations have shown that while strong toroidal rotation can increase the external kink limit of tokamak plasmas, the associated rotation shear can drive a Kelvin-Helmholtz like global instability in the plasma, if the rotation frequenc ...

Power distribution in the snowflake divertor in TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Federico Nespoli, Wouter Vijvers

TCV experiments demonstrate the basic power exhaust properties of the snowflake (SF) plus and SF minus divertor configurations by measuring the heat fluxes at each of their four divertor legs. The measurements indicate an enhanced transport into the privat ...

Fast seeding of NTMs by sawtooth crashes in TCV and their preemption using ECRH

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Holger Reimerdes, Antoine Pochelon

Many tokamaks have observed that sawteeth of sufficient duration may trigger neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) that lead to plasma performance degradation. In this paper, TCV's ability to accurately control the period of individual sawteeth is exploited, u ...
