Studies on EU-DEMO 3D coils requirements and conceptual design for error field correction and plasma control

Pierluigi Bruzzone, Hartmut Zohm, Leonardo Pigatto

This work presents the initial studies on the requirements for the design of 3D coils on EU-DEMO. The use of 3D coils in present machines includes two main purposes: the first one is the Error Field Correction (EFC). The EFC aims at minimizing the intrinsi ...

How not to get lost in the quest to publish an Open Access article?

Lorenza Salvatori, Manon Velasco

Upon attending this training, participants should have a clear understanding of what OA is; which are the most used models (Gold, Hybrid, Green...); what are the policies at national and institutional levels and how to comply with funders’ requirements; ho ...

Integration concept of an Electron Cyclotron System in DEMO

Minh Quang Tran, René Chavan, Hartmut Zohm, Konstantinos Avramidis

The pre-conceptual layout for an electron cyclotron system (ECS) in DEMO is described. The present DEMO ECS considers only equatorial ports for both plasma heating and neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) control. This differs from ITER, where four launchers in ...

Design optimization of the Upper Steering Mirror Assembly (USMA) for ITER ECHUL in view of disruptive events

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Anastasia Xydou, Matteo Vagnoni

Four Electron Cyclotron Heating Upper Launchers (ECHUL) will be used at ITER to counteract magneto-hydrodynamic plasma instabilities by targeting them with up to 20 MW of mm-wave power at 170 GHz. The millimeter waves are guided through a set of fixed mirr ...

EU DEMO EC equatorial launcher pre-conceptual performance studies

Minh Quang Tran, Emanuele Poli

The preliminary conceptual design for the Electron Cyclotron (EC) system of the future European DEMOnstration fusion power plant is ongoing in the EUROfusion Consortium. This represents one of the key aspects in order to assess the performances and the int ...

Towards large area CVD diamond disks for Brewster-angle windows

Minh Quang Tran, Konstantinos Avramidis

In the frame of the EUROfusion Work Package Heating and Current Drive (WP HCD) of the Power Plant Physics and Technology (PPPT) program, CVD diamond disk Brewster-angle windows for gyrotron operation at multi-megawatt RF power levels and long pulses are un ...

Linear studies of spurious backward-wave instabilities in a dielectric-loaded smooth-wall gyrotron beam ducts

Stefano Alberti, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Jérémy Genoud

Recently developed self-consistent models for beam-wave interaction simulations of a gyrotron oscillator have been extended to study spurious backward-wave instabilities in smooth-wall circular symmetric beam ducts. Starting from a purely metallic case, th ...
