Overview of the TCV tokamak experimental programme

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno, Duccio Testa

The tokamak a configuration variable (TCV) continues to leverage its unique shaping capabilities, flexible heating systems and modern control system to address critical issues in preparation for ITER and a fusion power plant. For the 2019-20 campaign its c ...

Characterizing time intermittency in non-diffusive fast ion transport through plasma turbulence

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Oulfa Chellaï, Fabian Manke

Turbulent fast ion transport has been investigated in astrophisycal, laboratory and fusion plasmas. When gyro- and drift-averaging across plasma structures manifest as non-markovian and non-local effects, this results in generally non-diffusive transport. ...

Truncated Levy motion through path integrals and applications to nondiffusive suprathermal ion transport

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Oulfa Chellaï, Fabian Manke

Fractional Levy motion has been derived from its generalized Langevin equation via path integrals in earlier works and has since proven to be a useful model for nonlocal and non-Markovian processes, especially in the context of nondiffusive transport. Here ...

A Variable Structure Control Scheme Proposal for the Tokamak a Configuration Variable

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Ivo Furno, Duccio Testa

Fusion power is the most significant prospects in the long-term future of energy in the sense that it composes a potentially clean, cheap, and unlimited power source that would substitute the widespread traditional nonrenewable energies, reducing the geogr ...

Millimeter-wave beam scattering by edge-plasma density fluctuations in TCV

Stefano Alberti, Timothy Goodman, Oulfa Chellaï, Ivo Furno, Fabio Riva, Paolo Ricci, Benoît Labit, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Emanuele Poli

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the use of millimeter waves (mmw) at the electron cyclotron (EC) frequencies ranges from plasma diagnostics to plasma heating, current drive and core confinement preservation. For large tokamaks such as ITER, numeri ...

Time intermittency in nondiffusive transport regimes of suprathermal ions in turbulent plasmas

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Oulfa Chellaï, Fabian Manke

Intermittent phenomena have long been studied in the context of nondiffusive transport across a variety of fields. In the TORPEX device, the cross-field spreading of an injected suprathermal ion beam by electrostatic plasma turbulence can access different ...

Millimeter-Wave Beam Scattering by Edge Turbulence in Magnetically-Confined Plasmas

Oulfa Chellaï

High-power millimeter-waves (mmw) in the electron cyclotron range of frequencies are extensively used in fusion devices. They have become essential for a number of applications ranging from plasma heating and current drive to core confinement preservation. ...

Homogenization theory for the effective permittivity of a turbulent tokamak plasma in the scrape-off layer

Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno, Oulfa Chellaï

There has been a growing interest, over the past few years, on understanding the effect on radio frequency waves due to turbulence in the scrape-off layer of tokamak plasmas. While the far scrape-off layer density width is of the order of centimetres in co ...
