The fundamental mechanisms responsible for the interplay and synergy between the absorption dynamics of extraordinary-mode electron cyclotron waves at two different harmonic resonances (the 2nd and 3rd) are investigated in the TCV tokamak. An enhanced 3rd ...
An extensive study of digital pulse processing methods is presented. Existing methods, both traditional and more recent, are compared with original advanced techniques within an appropriate modeling and benchmarking framework. This comprehensive approach e ...
This thesis is concerned with the physics of suprathermal electrons in thermonuclear, magnetically confined plasmas. Under a variety of conditions, in laboratory as well as space plasmas, the electron velocity distribution function is not in thermodynamic ...
