Unveiling the role of dielectric trap states on capacitively coupled radio-frequency plasma discharge: dynamic charging behaviors

The influence of charge trap states in the dielectric boundary material on capacitively coupled radio-frequency (RF) plasma discharge is investigated with theory and particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision simulation. It is found that the trap states of the ...

Ionization Waves Enhance the Production of X-rays during Streamer Collisions

Marcos Rubinstein

Experimental data show that in laboratory sparks, X-rays are produced in time synchronization with the meeting of streamers of opposite polarity just before the final breakdown of the discharge gap. It has been suggested that the electric field enhancement ...

Progress on the Design of the 15 T Magnet of the EDIPO Test Facility

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Kamil Sedlák, Roberto Guarino, Evgeny Solodko

EDIPO 2 (the upgraded EDIPO test facility) will provide a unique testbed for superconducting cables for fusion magnets,accelerators, and other applications. Compared to the previous magnet assembly, the magnetic field is enhanced from 12.35 T to 15 T, the ...

Integrated Real-Time Supervisory Management for Off-Normal-Event Handling and Feedback Control of Tokamak Plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Alessandro Pau, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti, Bernhard Sieglin

For long-pulse tokamaks, one of the main challenges in the control strategy is to simultaneously reach multiple control objectives and to robustly handle in real-time (RT) unexpected events [off-normal-events (ONEs)] with a limited set of actuators. We hav ...

Real-time feedback control system for ADITYA-U horizontal plasma position stabilisation

Harshita Raj, Rohit Kumar, Shivam Gupta

The ADITYA-U tokamak (R-0 = 0.75 m, a = 0.25 m) is designed to shape plasma column in both single and double null diverter configurations. It is quite well known that sustaining a shaped plasma in tokamak requires very good plasma column position control, ...

The influence of climate on water chemistry states and dynamics in rivers across Australia

Camille Roland Marie Minaudo

For effective water quality management and policy development, spatial variability in the mean concentrations and dynamics of riverine water quality needs to be understood. Using water chemistry (calcium, electrical conductivity, nitrate-nitrite, soluble r ...

Kalman filter density reconstruction in ICRH discharges on ASDEX Upgrade

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Emiliano Fable

Plasma density is one of the key quantities that need to be controlled in real-time as it scales directly with fusion power and, if left uncontrolled, density limits can be reached leading to a disruption. On ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), the real-time measurements ...

The laser lightning rod project

Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Antonio Sunjerga, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Jean-Pierre Wolf, Clemens Herkommer, Pierre Walch, Thomas Produit

Lightning is highly destructive due to its high power density and unpredictable character. Directing lightning away would allow to protect sensitive sites from its direct and indirect impacts (electromagnetic perturbations). Up to now, lasers have been una ...

Beware of your electrodes! How electrode materials and application processes impact the lifetime of slide-ring-material-based DEAs

Herbert Shea

For dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) to find more widespread adoption in commercial products, a better understanding of their durability is needed. By determining the different mechanisms contributing to ageing and breakdown in DEAs, new methods for i ...

A statistical approach for the automatic identification of the start of the chain of events leading to the disruptions at JET

Alessandro Pau

This paper reports an algorithm to automatically identify the chain of events leading to a disruption, evaluating the so-called reference warning time. This time separates the plasma current flat-top of each disrupted discharge into two parts: a non-disrup ...
