The physics of electron internal transport barriers in the TCV tokamak

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Timothy Goodman, Roland Behn, Emiliano Fable, Costanza Zucca, Alessandro Marinoni

Electron internal transport barriers (elTBs) are generated in the TCV tokamak with strong electron cyclotron resonance heating in a variety of conditions, ranging from steady-state fully noninductive scenarios to stationary discharges with a finite inducti ...

Generation of suprathermal electrons during sawtooth crashes in a tokamak plasma

Ambrogio Fasoli, Timothy Goodman, Igor Klimanov

The acceleration of electrons during a sawtooth crash is demonstrated in various regimes of the TCV tokamak plasma. Simultaneous measurements of electron cyclotron emission from the low field side and from the high field side of the tokamak provide informa ...

Development of steady-state scenarios compatible with ITER-like wall conditions

Richard Pitts, Gilles Arnoux

A key issue for steady-state tokamak operation is to determine the edge conditions that are compatible both with good core confinement and with the power handling and plasma exhaust capabilities of the plasma facing components (PFCs) and divertor systems. ...

Chapter 2: Plasma confinement and transport

Yves Martin, Jing Li

The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER tokamak, for both core and edge plasma regions. Very considerable progress has b ...

Overview of TCV Results

Ambrogio Fasoli

The Tokamak `a Configuration Variable , TCV, addresses scientific questions to improve our understanding of magnetically confined plasmas and our ability to control them in ITER relevant scenarios, and explores avenues to improve the plasma performance on ...

Measurement of edge electrostatic turbulence in the TCV tokamak plasma boundary

Jan Horacek

Almost since the first density profile measurements were made in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of the early tokamaks, it has been recognized that the rate of particle transport perpendicular to magnetic surfaces exceeds that expected on the basis of classical ...

Étude du transport d'énergie thermique dans les plasmas du tokamak à configuration variable au moyen de chauffage électronique cyclotronique

Yann Camenen

The development of controlled thermonuclear fusion, a quasi-unlimited energy source suitable for large scale electricity production, is one of the main goals of plasma physics research. Among the directions explored to date, the use of toroidal devices cal ...

Particle transport in tokamak plasmas

Alexey Zabolotskiy

The transport of particles in magnetically confined plasmas is of great importance for the development of fusion energy. It will determine techniques for fuelling, for controlling impurity concentrations and for the removal of the alpha particles produced ...

Ideal MHD stability of tokamak plasmas with moderate and low aspect ratio

The need of durable and abundant energy sources for future ages stimulates the studies of thermonuclear energy sources, based on hot plasma confinement by magnetic fields. The most developed concept of hot plasma trap is the tokamak, where the plasma confi ...

Modeling and control of TCV

Jonathan Bryan Lister

A new approach to the modeling and control of tokamak fusion reactors is presented. A nonlinear model is derived using the classical arguments of Hamiltonian mechanics and a low-order linear model is derived from it. The modeling process used here addresse ...
