Kinetic-MHD stability of virtually collisionless plasmas

The stability of pressure driven modes such as the 1/1 internal kink is known to depend sensitively on a multitude of physical effects such as toroidal rotation, kinetic effects due to thermal and suprathermal particle species and finite Larmor radius effe ...

Determination of tungsten sources in the JET-ILW divertor by spectroscopic imaging in the presence of a strong plasma continuum

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Duccio Testa, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Li Shuai, Alberto Hernando de Castro

The identification of the sources of atomic tungsten and the measurement of their radiation distribution in front of all plasma-facing components has been performed in JET with the help of two digital cameras with the same two-dimensional view, equipped wi ...

Long-lived coupled peeling ballooning modes preceding ELMs on JET

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

In some JET discharges, type-I edge localised modes (ELMs) are preceded by a class of low-frequency oscillations (Perez et al 2004 Nucl. Fusion 44 609). While in many cases the ELM is triggered during the growth phase of this oscillation, it is also observ ...

EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations of the influence of isotope effects and anomalous transport coefficients on near scrape-off layer radial electric field

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Martinus Gijs, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Richard Pitts, Sun Hee Kim

EDGE2D-EIRENE (the 'code') simulations show that radial electric field, Er, in the near scrape-off layer (SOL) of tokamaks can have large variations leading to a strong local E x B shear greatly exceeding that in the core region. This was pointed out in si ...

Measuring fast ions in fusion plasmas with neutron diagnostics at JET

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

Fast ions in fusion plasmas often leave characteristic signatures in the neutron emission from the plasma. In this paper, we show how neutron measurements can be used to study fast ions and give examples of physics results obtained on present day tokamaks. ...

Comparison of the structure of the plasma-facing surface and tritium accumulation in beryllium tiles from JET ILW campaigns 2011-2012 and 2013-2014

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

In this study, beryllium tiles from Joint European Torus (JET) vacuum vessel wall were analysed and compared regarding their position in the vacuum vessel and differences in the exploitation conditions during two campaigns of ITER-Like-Wall (ILW) in 2011-2 ...

Modelling of tungsten erosion and deposition in the divertor of JET-ILW in comparison to experimental findings

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Duccio Testa, Sun Hee Kim, Jonathan Graves, Yves Martin, Daniel Scott Alessi, Julio Rodriguez

The erosion, transport and deposition of tungsten in the outer divertor of JET-ILW has been studied for an H-Mode discharge with low frequency ELMs. For this specific case with an inter-ELM electron temperature at the strike point of about 20 eV, tungsten ...

Impact of ICRF on the scrape-off layer and on plasma wall interactions: From present experiments to fusion reactor

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Yves Martin, Duccio Testa, Jonathan Graves, Henri Weisen, Dalziel Joseph Wilson, Yu Lin

Recent achievements in studies of the effects of ICRF (Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies) power on the SOL (Scrape-Off Layer) and PWI (Plasma Wall Interactions) in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), Alcator C-Mod, and JET-ILW are reviewed. Capabilities to diagnose and ...

Impact of fast ions on density peaking in JET: fluid and gyrokinetic modeling

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

The effect of fast ions on turbulent particle transport, driven by ion temperature gradient (ITG)/trapped electron mode turbulence, is studied. Two neutral beam injection (NBI) heated JET discharges in different regimes are analyzed at the radial position ...

Energetic ion losses 'channeling' mechanism and strategy for mitigation

Olivier Sauter, Ambrogio Fasoli, Basil Duval, Stefano Coda, Duccio Testa, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo, Jonathan Graves, Jonnathan Cesar Hidalgo Acosta, Yves Martin, Alberto Hernando de Castro

Results from two different sets of JET experiments are presented. In experiments in which toroidicity-induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) localized at different radial locations had the same frequencies and toroidal mode numbers, the occurrence of enhanced lo ...
