A locked mode indicator for disruption prediction on JET and ASDEX upgrade

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Ambrogio Fasoli, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Yves Martin, Jonathan Graves, Jean-Marc Moret, Patrick Blanchard, Holger Reimerdes

The aim of this paper is to present a signal processing algorithm that, applied to the raw Locked Mode signal, allows us to obtain a disruption indicator in principle exploitable on different tokamaks. A common definition of such an indicator for different ...

An assessment of nitrogen concentrations from spectroscopic measurements in the JET and ASDEX upgrade divertor

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia

The impurity concentration in the tokamak divertor plasma is a necessary input for predictive scaling of divertor detachment, however direct measurements from existing tokamaks in different divertor plasma conditions are limited. To address this, we have a ...

A power-balance model of the density limit in fusion plasmas: application to the L-mode tokamak

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Alessandro Pau, Patrick Blanchard

A power-balance model, with radiation losses from impurities and neutrals, gives a unified description of the density limit (DL) of the stellarator, the L-mode tokamak, and the reversed field pinch (RFP). The model predicts a Sudo-like scaling for the stel ...

Improved neutron activation dosimetry for fusion

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Semin Kwak

Neutron activation technique has been widely used for the monitoring of neutron fluence at the Joint European Torus (JET) whereas it is foreseen to be employed at future fusion plants, such as ITER and DEMO. Neutron activation provides a robust tool for th ...

Analysis of the outer divertor hot spot activity in the protection video camera recordings at JET

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Bruno Emanuel Ferreira De Sousa Correia, Alessandro Pau

Hot spots on the divertor tiles at JET result in overestimation of the tile surface temperature which causes unnecessary termination of pulses. However, the appearance of hot spots can also indicate the condition of the divertor tile surfaces. To analyse t ...

Improved ERO modelling of beryllium erosion at ITER upper first wall panel using JET-ILW and PISCES-B experience

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Henri Weisen

ERO is a 3D Monte-Carlo impurity transport and plasma-surface interaction code. In 2011 it was applied for the ITER first wall (FW) life time predictions [1] (critical blanket module BM11). After that the same code was significantly improved during its app ...

A wall-aligned grid generator for non-linear simulations of MHD instabilities in tokamak plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Henri Weisen

Block-structured mesh generation techniques have been well addressed in the CFD community for automobile and aerospace studies, and their applicability to magnetic fusion is highly relevant, due to the complexity of the plasma-facing wall structures inside ...

Gyrokinetic analysis and simulation of pedestals to identify the culprits for energy losses using 'fingerprints'

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Henri Weisen

Fusion performance in tokamaks hinges critically on the efficacy of the edge transport barrier (ETB) in suppressing energy losses. The new concept of 'fingerprints' is introduced to identify the instabilities that cause transport losses in the ETBs of many ...

Deposition of impurity metals during campaigns with the JET ITER-like Wall

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Henri Weisen

Post mortem analysis shows that mid and high atomic number metallic impurities are present in deposits on JET plasma facing components with the highest amount of Ni and W, and therefore the largest sink, being found at the top of the inner divertor. Source ...

Diagnostic of fast-ion energy spectra and densities in magnetized plasmas

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alessandro Pau, Henri Weisen

The measurement of the energy spectra and densities of alpha-particles and other fast ions are part of the ITER measurement requirements, highlighting the importance of energy-resolved energetic-particle measurements for the mission of ITER. However, it ha ...
