Kinetic modelling of runaway electron avalanches in tokamak plasmas

Joan Decker

Runaway electrons can be generated in tokamak plasmas if the accelerating force from the toroidal electric field exceeds the collisional drag force owing to Coulomb collisions with the background plasma. In ITER, disruptions are expected to generate runawa ...

Overview of the FTU results

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Duccio Testa, Holger Reimerdes, Alexander Karpushov, Cristian Galperti, Gabriele Grosso, Doohyun Kim, Dávid Wágner, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Jonathan Rossel, Donghyun Kim

Since the 2012 IAEA-FEC Conference, FTU operations have been largely devoted to runaway electrons generation and control, to the exploitation of the 140 GHz electron cyclotron (EC) system and to liquid metal limiter elements. Experiments on runaway electro ...

Effective Critical Electric Field for Runaway-Electron Generation

Joan Decker

In this Letter we investigate factors that influence the effective critical electric field for runaway-electron generation in plasmas. We present numerical solutions of the kinetic equation and discuss the implications for the threshold electric field. We ...

Theoretical and experimental analysis of subwavelength bowtie-shaped antennas

Hatice Altug, Arif Engin Cetin, Serap Aksu, Dordaneh Etezadi

Recently, bowtie-shaped apertures have received significant attention due to their extraordinary ability to generate dramatic field enhancement and light confinement in nanometer scale. In this article, we investigate both experimentally and theoretically ...

Tokamak coordinate conventions: COCOS

Olivier Sauter

Dealing with electromagnetic fields, in particular current and related magnetic fields, yields "natural" physical vector relations in 3-D. However, when it comes to choosing local coordinate systems, the "usual" right-handed systems are not necessarily the ...

The role of the sheath in magnetized plasma turbulence and flows

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

Controlled nuclear fusion could provide our society with a clean, safe, and virtually inexhaustible source of electric power production. The tokamak has proven to be capable of producing large amounts of fusion reactions by confining magnetically the ...

Modeling microwave/electron-cloud interaction

Michael Mattes, Francisco Edén Sorolla Rosario, Frank Zimmermann

Starting from the separate codes BI-RME and ECLOUD or PyECLOUD, we are developing a novel joint simulation tool, which models the combined effect of a charged particle beam and of microwaves on an electron cloud. Possible applications include the degradati ...

Edge Localized Mode Control in TCV

Jonathan Rossel

The Tokamak concept, based on magnetic confinement of a hydrogen plasma, is one of today's most promising paths to energy production by nuclear fusion. The experimental scenarios leading to the largest fusion rate are based on a high confinement plasma reg ...

High Intensity Beam Issues in the CERN Proton Synchrotron

Sandra Aumon

This PhD work is about limitations of high intensity proton beams observed in the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS) and, in particular, about issues at injection and transition energies. With its 53 years, the CERN PS would have to operate beyond the limit of i ...
