Langmuir probe electronics upgrade on the tokamak a configuration variable

Benoît Labit, Christian Gabriel Theiler, René Chavan, Pierre Lavanchy, Richard Pitts, Philippe Marmillod, Blaise Marlétaz, Hugo De Oliveira

A detailed description of the Langmuir probe electronics upgrade for TCV (Tokamak a Configuration Variable) is presented. The number of amplifiers and corresponding electronics has been increased from 48 to 120 in order to simultaneously connect all of the ...

Abstract The study of scrape-off layer (SOL) is a fundamental step in magnetic confinement fusion research. For example, SOL sets the boundary conditions for the tokamak core and it provides the energy flux toward the tokamak wall. With the goal of improvi ...

Self-consistent interaction of fast particles and ICRF waves in 3D applications of fusion plasma devices

Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin

Tokamaks and stellarators are the most promising reactor concepts using the magnetic confinement to contain the plasma fuel. Reactors capable of sustaining deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reactions requires the confinement of a very high temperature plasma ...

Experimental observations and modelling of intrinsic rotation reversals in tokamaks

Basil Duval, Yann Camenen, Emiliano Fable, Alessandro Bortolon

The progress made in understanding spontaneous toroidal rotation reversals in tokamaks is reviewed and current ideas to solve this ten-year-old puzzle are explored. The paper includes a summarial synthesis of the experimental observations in AUG, C-Mod, KS ...

This paper describes joint ITPA studies of the I-mode regime, which features an edge thermal barrier together with L-mode-like particle and impurity transport and no edge localized modes (ELMs). The regime has been demonstrated on the Alcator C-Mod, ASDEX ...

In magnetic fusion devices, the radial transport of heat and particle largely exceeds predictions based on collisional processes. This is widely understood as a consequence of small-scale turbulence which results from the nonlinear behaviour of so-called m ...
