Advances in the physics studies for the JT-60SA tokamak exploitation and research plan

Stefano Coda, Javier García Hernández, Marco Wischmeier, Matteo Vallar, Kenji Tanaka, Aylwin Iantchenko, Samuele Mazzi, Leonardo Pigatto

JT-60SA, the largest tokamak that will operate before ITER, has been designed and built jointly by Japan and Europe, and is due to start operation in 2020. Its main missions are to support ITER exploitation and to contribute to the demonstration fusion rea ...

New approaches for track reconstruction in LHCb's Vertex Locator

Victor Coco, Sébastien Ponce

Starting with Upgrade 1 in 2021, LHCb will move to a purely software-based trigger system. Therefore, the new trigger strategy is to process events at the full rate of 30MHz. Given that the increase of CPU performance has slowed down in recent years, the p ...

Design and performance of the LHCb trigger and full real-time reconstruction in Run 2 of the LHC

Yiming Li, Yi Zhang, Michel De Cian, Elisabeth Maria Niel, Mingkui Wang, Zhirui Xu, Jessica Prisciandaro, Niko Neufeld, Maurizio Martinelli, Donal Patrick Hill, Hang Yin, Yao Zhou, Gerhard Raven, Paolo Durante, Luis Alberto Granado Cardoso

The LHCb collaboration has redesigned its trigger to enable the full offline detector reconstruction to be performed in real time. Together with the real-time alignment and calibration of the detector, and a software infrastructure to make persistent the h ...

Thermal stability of nanometric TiC-carbon composites: effects of carbon allotropes and Zr milling impurities

Paul Bowen

In the ISOL (Isotope Separator OnLine) method a target at high temperatures (up to 2300 degrees C), is bombarded with high energy protons in order to produce isotopes through nuclear reactions which are simultaneously extracted from the target, ionized and ...

Estimating Non-Conductive Heat Flow Leading to Intra-Permafrost Talik Formation at the Ritigraben Rock Glacier (Western Swiss Alps)

Michael Lehning

Although non-conductive heat flow plays an important role in the evolution of rock glacier temperature and dynamics, few studies have quantified it. At the Ritigraben rock glacier (Switzerland), intra-permafrost talik formation was observed at around 12m d ...

The GBS code for tokamak scrape-off layer simulations

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Trach-Minh Tran, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Fabio Riva, Annamaria Mosetto, Christoph Wersal

We describe a new version of GBS, a 3D global, flux-driven plasma turbulence code to simulate the turbulent dynamics in the tokamak scrape-off layer (SOL), superseding the code presented by Ricci et al. (2012) [14]. The present work is driven by the object ...

Plans for the first plasma operation of Wendelstein 7-X

Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is currently under commissioning in preparation for its initial plasma operation phase, operation phase 1.1 (OP1.1). This first phase serves primarily to provide an integral commissioning of all major systems needed for plasma operat ...

Threshold power for the transition into H-mode for H, D, and He plasmas in TCV

Basil Duval, Yves Martin, Benoît Labit, Laurie Porte, Alexander Karpushov, Roland Behn

The threshold power for the transition into H-mode with hydrogen (H), deuterium (D), and helium (He) as majority ion species has been evaluated from a series of dedicated experiments on the tokamak TCV. Identical plasma configurations with a single-null X- ...

Selected highlights of ECH/ECCD physics studies in the TCV tokamak

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Joan Decker, Doohyun Kim, Donghyun Kim

The Tokamak a Configuration Variable, TCV, has used Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive as its only auxiliary heating system for nearly two decades. In addition to basic plasma heating and current profiling, ECH and ECCD under either feedforward o ...
