Exploration of the parameter space for the excitation and saturation of Edge Harmonic Oscillations

Guillermo Bustos Ramirez

This thesis presents advancements in the understanding of the plasma conditions leading to the excitation and saturation of the Edge Harmonic Oscillations (EHOs) observed during QH-mode operation in tokamak plasmas. Such operations represent a safer altern ...

EPFL2023

Tokamak devices aim to magnetically confine a hydrogen plasma at sufficiently high pressure to achieve net energy production from nuclear fusion of light isotopes. Predictive modeling and optimization is crucial for reliable operation of tokamak reactors, ...

A novel measurement of marginal Alfven eigenmode stability during high power auxiliary heating in JET

Ambrogio Fasoli, Mario Ludovico Podesta

The interaction of Alfven eigenmodes (AEs) and energetic particles is one of many important factors determining the success of future tokamaks. In JET, eight in-vessel antennas were installed to actively probe stable AEs with frequencies ranging 25-250 kHz ...

Advanced linear models for gyro-backward wave instabilities in gyrotrons

Jérémy Genoud

Parasitic oscillations excitation is one of the main point hindering high-power gyrotron operation for fusion application. These instabilities, besides being dangerous for the gyrotron components, could possibly degrade the electron beam quality before it ...

EPFL2019

In many tokamak and stellarator experiments around the globe that arc investigating energy production via controlled thermonuclear fusion, electron cyclotron heating and current drive (ECH&CD) are used for plasma start-up, heating, non-inductive current dr ...

Extension of the operating space of high-beta(N) fully non-inductive scenarios on TCV using neutral beam injection

Olivier Sauter, Timothy Goodman, Duccio Testa, Alexander Karpushov, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Mengdi Kong, Javier García Hernández, Matteo Vallar, Leonardo Pigatto

The fully non-inductive sustainment of high normalized beta plasmas (beta(N)) is a crucial challenge for the steady-state operation of a tokamak reactor. In order to assess the difficulties facing such scenarios, steady-state regimes have been explored on ...

2019

Nuclear fusion power plants require electron cyclotron (EC) heating and current drive (H&CD) systems for plasma heating and stabilization. High-power microwave beams between 1 and 2?MW generated by gyrotrons propagate in a dedicated waveguide transmission ...
