Investigating the impact of the molecular charge-exchange rate on detached SOLPS-ITER simulations

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh

Plasma-molecular interactions generate molecular ions which react with the plasma and contribute to detachment through molecular activated recombination (MAR), reducing the ion target flux, and molecular activated dissociation (MAD), both of which create e ...

Numerical simulations of gas puff imaging using a multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction in the tokamak boundary

Paolo Ricci

A three-dimensional simulation of gas puff imaging (GPI) diagnostics is carried out by using a self-consistent multi-component model of the neutral-plasma interaction. The simulation, based on the drift-reduced Braginskii model for the plasma and a kinetic ...

A novel hydrogenic spectroscopic technique for inferring the role of plasma-molecule interaction on power and particle balance during detached conditions

Basil Duval, Artur Perek, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Mirko Wensing

Detachment, an important mechanism for reducing target heat deposition, is achieved through reductions in power, particle and momentum; which are induced through plasma-atom and plasma-molecule interactions. Experimental research in how those reactions pre ...

Self-consistent simulation of multi-component plasma turbulence and neutral dynamics in the tokamak boundary

André Calado Coroado

The interaction between neutral particles and the plasma plays a key role in determining the dynamics of the tokamak boundary that, in turn, significantly impact the overall performance of the device. Leveraging the work in Wersal and Ricci [Nucl. Fusion 5 ...

A study of the influence of plasma-molecule interactions on particle balance during detachment

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Artur Perek, Mirko Wensing

In this work we provide experimental insights into the impact of plasma-molecule interactions on the target ion flux decrease during divertor detachment achieved through a core density ramp in the TCV tokamak. Our improved analysis of the hydrogen Balmer s ...

A von Hamos spectrometer for in situ sulfur speciation by non-resonant sulfur K alpha emission spectroscopy

Dominik Kinschel

A von Hamos geometry based wavelength dispersive spectrometer combined with an in situ reactor cell has been developed to measure non-resonant sulfur K alpha emission for the in situ speciation of low concentrations of sulfur. The spectrometer operates at ...

Determination of isotope ratio in the divertor of JET-ILW by high-resolution H alpha spectroscopy: H-D experiment and implications for D-T experiment

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Stefano Coda, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Duccio Testa, Henri Weisen, Yves Martin, Federico Nespoli, David Pfefferlé

The data of the H alpha high-resolution spectroscopy, collected on the multiple lines of sight, which cover the entire divertor space in poloidal cross-section, during the recent hydrogen-deuterium experiments in JET-ILW (ITER-like wall), are processed. A ...

Stark broadening of Balmer lines with low and moderate quantum number in dense divertor plasmas

Basil Duval, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh

A computer simulation technique is applied to the modelling of Balmer line shapes in dense divertor conditions. The spectral profile of lines with a high principal quantum number n is sensitive to Stark broadening and can be used as a density diagnostic. I ...

Observation of the 1S-2P Lyman-alpha transition in antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen

In 1906, Theodore Lyman discovered his eponymous series of transitions in the extreme-ultraviolet region of the atomic hydrogen spectrum(1,2). The patterns in the hydrogen spectrum helped to establish the emerging theory of quantum mechanics, which we now ...

Spectroscopic investigations of divertor detachment in TCV

Basil Duval, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Umar Sheikh, Nicola Vianello, Federico Nespoli, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Kevin Henricus Annemarie Verhaegh, Wouter Vijvers

The aim of this work is to provide an understanding of detachment at TCV with emphasis on analysis of the Balmer line emission. A new Divertor Spectroscopy System has been developed for this purpose. Further development of Balmer line analysis techniques h ...
