Overview of T and D-T results in JET with ITER-like wall

Olivier Sauter, Duccio Testa, Holger Reimerdes, Benoît Labit, Alessandro Pau, Cristian Sommariva, Umar Sheikh, Cassandre Ekta Contré, Mackenzie Peter-Fulford Van Rossem, Olivier Claude Martin Février

In 2021 JET exploited its unique capabilities to operate with T and D-T fuel with an ITER-like Be/W wall (JET-ILW). This second major JET D-T campaign (DTE2), after DTE1 in 1997, represented the culmination of a series of JET enhancements-new fusion diagno ...

Evaluation of neutron dose rates at the TCV tokamak facility

Patrick Blanchard, Henri Weisen, Matteo Vallar

A detailed MCNP neutronics model of the building housing the TCV tokamak has been developed. Predicted dose rates have been compared to neutron dose measurements at 12 locations in the building obtained during neutral beam injection into TCV plasmas. This ...

TCV Tokamak Neutron Shielding Upgrade for Dual NBI Operation

Basil Duval, Duccio Testa, Patrick Blanchard, Alexander Karpushov, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Jérémie Dubray, Henri Weisen, Matteo Vallar

The Tokamak a Configuration variable (TCV) is equipped with two neutral beam injection (NBI) systems delivering up to 1.2 MW each for pulse durations of up to 2 s. The first system (NBI1), designed for an injection energy in the range of 25 to 30 keV has b ...

Interaction of high-energy neutral beams with Divertor Tokamak Test plasma

Matteo Vallar

The Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) is a new, super-conducting device, being constructed in Frascati, Italy. DTT will be capable of plasma operations at high density and high heating power, in conditions relevant to address the power exhaust issue in support o ...

Predictive modeling of Alfvén eigenmode stability in inductive scenarios in JT-60SA

Javier García Hernández, Matteo Vallar, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo

The JT-60SA device offers unique conditions before ITER for the study of the interaction of energetic particles with plasma waves. With similar dimensions to JET, e.g., a major radius but with a slightly more elongated plasma volume, JT-60SA is used as a h ...

Excitation of toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes with counter-current NBI in the TCV tokamak

Laurie Porte, Matteo Vallar, Alexander Karpushov, Samuele Mazzi

In TCV, unstable modes excited by resonant interaction between the shear Alfvèn waves in con- tinuum gaps and energetic particles have been observed in scenarios with Neutral Beam Injection (NBI). TCV is a middle-size device (R 0 /a = 0.88/0.25) equipped w ...

Study of fast-ion-driven toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes impacting on the global confinement in TCV L-mode plasmas

Stefano Coda, Laurent Villard, Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball, Oleg Krutkin, Luke Simons, Umesh Kumar, Baruch Rofman, Jesús Poley Sanjuán, Javier García Hernández

Following recent observations of unstable Toroidal Alfven Eigenmodes (TAEs) in a counter-current Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) scenario developed in TCV, an in-depth analysis of the impact of such modes on the global confinement and performance is carried o ...

Simulating energetic particle losses in JET plasmas with a reverse integration biasing scheme

Mario Ludovico Podesta, Matteo Vallar

An integrated energetic particle transport model has been constructed in JET plasmas constrained by experimental fast ion loss measurements. The model incorporates a synthetic fast ion loss detector identical to JET's thin-foil Faraday cup fast ion loss de ...

Enhanced confinement in diverted negative-triangularity L-mode plasmas in TCV

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Benoît Labit, Laurie Porte, Alessandro Pau, Alessandro Marinoni, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Matteo Vallar

The favorable confinement properties of negative-triangularity (NT) tokamak configurations were discovered in the TCV tokamak in the late 1990s and were documented over the two following decades, through investigations of predominantly electron-heated plas ...

Numerical studies on saturated kink and sawtooth induced fast ion transport in JET ITER-like plasmas

Mario Ludovico Podesta, Matteo Vallar

This presentation examines the energetic particle transport induced by saturated kink modes and sawtooth crashes in JET deuterium plasmas. It is known that kink mode-resonant transport and phase-space redistribution from sawtooth crashes can drive strong f ...
