Observations of core toroidal rotation reversals in Alcator C-Mod ohmic L-mode plasmas

Direction reversals of intrinsic toroidal rotation have been observed in Alcator C-Mod ohmic L-mode plasmas following modest electron density or toroidal magnetic field ramps. The reversal process occurs in the plasma interior, inside of the q = 3/2 surfac ...

Practical solutions for reliable triple probe measurements in magnetized plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Philippe Marmillod

The triple probe method to obtain local, time-resolved measurements of density, electron temperature and plasma potential is investigated in detail. The difficulties in obtaining reliable measurements with this technique are discussed and overcome. These i ...

Physics design of a saddle coil system for TCV

Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Jonathan Rossel

The upgrade project for TCV (Tokamak à Configuration Variable) includes the installation of a set of saddle coils, namely the saddle coil system (SCS), located and powered such as to create a helical magnetic perturbation. Using independent power supplies, ...

Transport studies in the snowflake divertor in TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Wouter Vijvers, Francesco Piras

The transport of heat and particles in a tokamak plasma with a snowflake divertor has been studied in recent TCV experiments. Estimates of the power flux onto the divertor plates are obtained from measurements with multiple infrared cameras and Langmuir pr ...

Assessment of the ITER high-frequency magnetic diagnostic set

Jean-Marc Moret, Duccio Testa, René Chavan, Matthieu Toussaint, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Thomas Maeder, Gilbert Tonetti, Albert Perez, Francisco Sanchez, Jérôme Guterl

The ITER high-frequency (HF) magnetic diagnostic system has to provide essential measurements of MHD instabilities with vertical bar delta B-MEAS/B-POL vertical bar similar to 10(-4) (similar to 1 G) for frequencies up to 2 MHz to resolve toroidal mode num ...

Assessment of the ITER High-Frequency Magnetic Diagnostic Set

Jean-Marc Moret, Duccio Testa, René Chavan, Matthieu Toussaint, Jonathan Bryan Lister, Thomas Maeder, Gilbert Tonetti, Albert Perez, Francisco Sanchez, Jérôme Guterl

The ITER high-frequency (HF) magnetic diagnostic system has to provide essential measurements of MHD instabilities with |deltaBmeas/BPOL|~1e-4 (~1G) for frequencies up to 2MHz to resolve toroidal mode numbers (n) in the range |n|=10 to |n|=50. A review of ...

A Multi-Site Campaign To Measure Solar-Like Oscillations In Procyon. Ii. Mode Frequencies

We have analyzed data from a multi-site campaign to observe oscillations in the F5 star Procyon. The data consist of high-precision velocities that we obtained over more than three weeks with 11 telescopes. A new method for adjusting the data weights allow ...

Imaging of turbulent structures and tomographic reconstruction of TORPEX plasma emissivity

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Davoud Iraji

In the TORPEX [ A. Fasoli et al., Phys. Plasmas 13, 055902 (2006) ], a simple magnetized plasma device, low frequency electrostatic fluctuations associated with interchange waves, are routinely measured by means of extensive sets of Langmuir probes. To com ...

Saturated ideal modes in advanced tokamak regimes in MAST

Jonathan Graves

MAST plasmas with a safety factor above unity and a profile with either weakly reversed shear or broad low-shear regions, regularly exhibit long-lived saturated ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities. The toroidal rotation is flattened in the presen ...

Solar radiation modelling for urban environments

Darren Robinson

In this paper we briefly describe three alternative techniques for modelling solar radiation in the urban context. These include the use of: (i) simple morphological parameters as indicators of radiation availability, (ii) a ray-tracing program in conjunct ...
