Experimental characterization of the TCV dual-frequency gyrotron and validation of numerical codes including the effect of After Cavity Interaction

Timothy Goodman, Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Damien Fasel, Matthieu Toussaint, Ugo Siravo, Jérémy Genoud, Jérémie Dubray, Falk Hans Braunmüller

A dual-frequency gyrotron has been developed within the context of the recent Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) upgrade. The gyrotron is designed to generate a 1 MW, 2 seconds RF wave at 84 or 126 GHz. Before integrating the gyrotrons in the TCV tokam ...

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 ...
