An improved understanding of the roles of atomic processes and power balance in divertor target ion current loss during detachment

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Umar Sheikh, Nicola Vianello, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Roberto Maurizio, Mirko Wensing, Hugo De Oliveira, Claudio Marini

The process of divertor detachment, whereby heat and particle fluxes to divertor surfaces are strongly diminished, is required to reduce heat loading and erosion in a magnetic fusion reactor to acceptable levels. In this paper the physics leading to the de ...

Progress in simulating SOL plasma turbulence\\with the GBS code

Paolo Ricci, Paola Paruta, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Christoph Wersal, Rogério Manuel Cabete De Jesus Jorge

The GBS code has been developed in the last few years to simulate plasma dynamics in tokamak SOL conditions. GBS advances the drift-reduced Braginskii equations, solving at the same time the neutral atoms kinetic equation by the method of characteristics. ...

Migration of surface excitations in highly-excited nanosystems probed by intense resonant XUV radiation

Marcel Drabbels

Ionization dynamics of resonantly excited helium nanodroplets have been studied by intense XUV light. By doping the nanodroplets with atoms that either attach to the surface or submerge into the center of the droplet, one can study the dynamics of excitati ...

Collective Autoionization in Multiply-Excited Systems: A novel ionization process observed in Helium Nanodroplets

Marcel Drabbels, Nils Benedict Brauer, Robert Richter

Free electron lasers (FELs) offer the unprecedented capability to study reaction dynamics and image the structure of complex systems. When multiple photons are absorbed in complex systems, a plasma-like state is formed where many atoms are ionized on a fem ...

NBI fast ion confinement in the helical core of MAST hybrid-like plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, David Pfefferlé, Cyril Misev

Energetic ions are found to be transported strongly from the core of MAST hybrid-like plasmas during long-lived mode (LLM) magnetohydrodynamic activity. The resulting impact on the neutral beam ion deposition and concurrent current drive is modelled usin ...

A kinetic neutral atom model for tokamak SOL turbulence simulations

Paolo Ricci, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Christoph Wersal

The first-principle understanding of the processes in the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) of a tokamak is crucial for the developement of a thermonuclear reactor. Since the plasma temperature in the SOL is rather low, the plasma is typically not fully ionized, and ...

Reduced Electron Model with Accurate Trapping Effects for Non-Linear Ion Accoustic Waves

Stephan Brunner, Luca Delacrétaz

Ion Accoustic Wave (IAW) dynamics are usually simulated assuming an isothermal Boltzmann ﬂuid response of the electrons. It has been shown that results from the Boltzmann model may signiﬁcantly diﬀer from cor- responding ones obtained considering the fully ...

Exact results for thermodynamics of the hydrogen plasma: Low-temperature expansions beyond Saha theory

We study hydrogen in the Saha regime, within the physical picture in terms of a quantum proton-electron plasma. Long ago, Saha showed that, at sufficiently low densities and low temperatures, the system behaves almost as an ideal mixture made with hydrogen ...

Understanding the relations between QSOs and their host galaxies from combined HST imaging and VLT spectroscopy

Frédéric Courbin

host galaxies of six nearby QSOs are studied on the basis of high-resolution HST optical images and spatially resolved VLT slit spectra. The gas ionization and velocity are mapped as a function of the distance to the central QSO. In the majority of the cas ...

Plasma production by low-field side injection of electron cyclotron waves in a simple magnetized torus

Ambrogio Fasoli, Benoît Labit, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli

The mechanisms leading to ionization of neutral gas by means of microwaves in the electron cyclotron range of frequencies in a simple toroidal plasma configuration are investigated in the TORPEX device (Fasoli A et al 2003 Bull. Am. Phys. Soc. 48 119). The ...
