The Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) tokamak is equipped with high-power (4.5 MW), real-time-controllable EC systems and flexible shaping, and plays an important role in fusion research by broadening the parameter range of reactor relevant regimes, b ...
In the search of a fusion reactor using magnetic confinement of toroidal plasmas, many important plasma performance parameters directly depend on the shape of the plasma cross-section. The unique shaping capability of the TCV tokamak ("Tokamak à Configurat ...
Thermonuclear controlled fusion research is a highly active branch of plasma physics. The main goal is the production of energy from the fusion reaction of hydrogen isotope nuclei, the same reaction that powers stars. The most promising present approach ar ...
A novel type of particle detector based on scintillation, with precise spatial resolution and high radiation hardness, is being studied. It consists of a single microfluidic channel filled with a liquid scintillator and is designed to define an array of sc ...
A multi-purpose saddle coil system is proposed as part of a future upgrade of TCV (Tokamak à Configuration Variable). This system consists of 3 rows of 8 coils, each coil having independent power supplies, and provides simultaneously error field correction ...
The Tokamak à configuration variable (TCV) features the highest electron cyclotron wave power density available to resonantly heat (ECRH) the electrons and to drive noninductive currents in a fusion grade plasma (ECCD). In more than 15 years of exploitatio ...
One of the most important issues for magnetic-confinement fusion research is the so-called anomalous transport across magnetic field lines, i.e. transport that is in excess of that caused by collisional processes. The need to reduce anomalous transport in ...
Analytical and numerical work is used in tandem to address the problem of turbulent transport of energetic ions in magnetized plasmas. It is shown that orbit averaging is not valid under rather generic conditions, and that perpendicular decorrelation effec ...
A novel scintillation detector is being developed with standard microfabrication techniques. It consists of a dense array of scintillating waveguides obtained by filling microfluidic channels with an organic liquid scintillator. Such a microfluidic device ...
The transport of light and heavy impurities, as well as of energetic a particles, produced by the background electrostatic plasma turbulence is investigated by means of linear and nonlinear simulations with three gyrokinetic codes, GS2, GYRO and the recent ...
