L-H power threshold for neutral beam heated plasmas with Deuterium, Hydrogen, Helium and mixed ion species in TCV

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Yves Martin, Benoît Labit, Alessandro Pau, Alexander Karpushov, Artur Perek, Dmytry Mykytchuk

A systematic study of the power threshold for L-H transition has been conducted in TCV. Only results from NB heated plasmas are reported. The dependencies of PLH on plasma current, plasma density and main ion species have been investigated. For Deuterium&# ...

Non-evaporable getter pump operations in the TCV tokamak

Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Holger Reimerdes, Frédéric Dolizy, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz

A non-evaporable getter pump using the ZAO alloy was installed on TCV and operated during the 2019 experimental campaign. The pump performance, determined from in-situ pumping speed measurements, indicates that current getter pump technologies are well sui ...

Beam duct for the 1 MW neutral beam injector on TCV

Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Alexander Karpushov, Matthieu Toussaint, Frédéric Dolizy, Roberto Maurizio

The 1MW power of the neutral beam injector (NBI) enters the plasma of the Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) through a duct. The original beam propagation model predicted a maximal heat flux on the internal faces of the duct below 350 kW/m(2), leading ...
