Production of a Chiral Magnetic Anomaly with Emerging Turbulence and Mean-Field Dynamo Action

In relativistic magnetized plasmas, asymmetry in the number densities of left-and right-handed fermions, i.e., a nonzero chiral chemical potential mu(5), leads to an electric current along the magnetic field. This causes a chiral dynamo instability for a u ...

Triple Cherenkov probe measurements on FTU: calibration and runaway energy spectra

Filippo Bagnato, Alessandro Grosso

Characterization and calibration measurements of two Cherenkov probes have been performed in ENEA Frascati's laboratories. Different kinds of radiation have been used, from visible light to x-rays, in order to evaluate possible spurious responses of the pr ...

Outer midplane scrape-off layer profiles and turbulence in simulations of Alcator C-Mod inner-wall limited discharges

Federico David Halpern

A region of steep plasma gradients, the so-called "narrow-feature," has been found in the near scrape-off layer (SOL) of inner-wall limited (IWL) discharges. Dedicated IWL discharges were carried out in Alcator C-Mod [Marmar et al., Nucl. Fusion 55, 104020 ...

Velocity shear, turbulent saturation, and steep plasma gradients in the scrape-off layer of inner-wall limited tokamaks

Paolo Ricci, Federico David Halpern

The narrow power decay-length (lambda(q)), recently found in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of inner-wall limited (IWL) discharges in tokamaks, is studied using 3D, flux-driven, global two-fluid turbulence simulations. The formation of the steep plasma profile ...

Global gyrokinetic stability of collisionless microtearing modes in large aspect ratio tokamaks

Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner

Linear full radius gyrokinetic calculations show the existence of unstable microtearing modes (MTMs) in purely collisionless, high temperature, large aspect ratio tokamak plasmas. The present study takes into account fully gyrokinetic highly passing ions a ...

Advanced divertor configurations with large flux expansion

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Wouter Vijvers

Experimental studies of the novel snowflake divertor concept (D. Ryutov, Phys. Plasmas 14 (2007) 064502) performed in the NSTX and TCV tokamaks are reviewed in this paper. The snowflake divertor enables power sharing between divertor strike points, as well ...

Diamagnetic thresholds for sawtooth cycling in tokamak plasmas

Federico David Halpern

The cycling dynamics of the internal kink mode, which drives sawtooth oscillations in tokamak plasmas, is studied using the three dimensional, non-linear magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) code XTOR-2F [H. Lütjens and J.-F. Luciani, J. Comput. Phys. 229, 8130 (2010 ...

Magnetic Reconnection Triggering Magnetohydrodynamic Instabilities during a Sawtooth Crash in a Tokamak Plasma

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Jonathan Graves

Thomson scattering measurements with subcentimeter spatial resolution have been made during a sawtooth crash in a Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak fusion plasma. The unparalleled resolution of the temperature profile has shed new light on the mechanisms that ...

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 ...

Snapshot gradient-recalled echo-planar images of rat brains at long echo time at 9.4 T

Rolf Gruetter, Nathalie Just, Hongxia Lei

With improved B-0 homogeneity along with satisfactory gradient performance at high magnetic fields, snapshot gradient-recalled echo-planar imaging (GRE-EPI) would perform at long echo times (TEs) oil the order of T-2*, which intrinsically allows obtaining ...
