An experimental and computational study of tokamak plasma turbulence

Turbulence driven by small-scale instabilities results in strong heat and particle transport, which significantly shortens the confinement time and prevents the formation of a self-sustained plasma reaction in magnetic confinement devices. Control and poss ...

Characterisation of electron cyclotron wall conditioning plasma in ASDEX Upgrade

Richard Pitts

Electron cyclotron wall condition (ECWC) discharges are characterised in ASDEX Upgrade with full tungsten plasma facing components and X2 polarised waves launched from the equatorial ports, relevant to ECWC conditions in ITER Pre-Fusion Power Operation pha ...

Investigation of the interplay between Electron-Cyclotron waves, suprathermal electrons and turbulence in tokamak plasmas

Jean Arthur Cazabonne

Electron-Cyclotron waves are routinely used in tokamaks to heat the plasma and to drive current through the electron channel. Their unique ability to drive very localized current renders them the main foreseen tool for neoclassical tearing mode mitigation ...

Predictive modeling of Alfvén eigenmode stability in inductive scenarios in JT-60SA

Javier García Hernández, Matteo Vallar, Antonio José Pereira de Figueiredo

The JT-60SA device offers unique conditions before ITER for the study of the interaction of energetic particles with plasma waves. With similar dimensions to JET, e.g., a major radius but with a slightly more elongated plasma volume, JT-60SA is used as a h ...

Modelling of nonneutral plasmas trapped by electric and magnetic fields relevant to gyrotron electron guns

Guillaume Michel Le Bars

Gyrotrons are a class of high-power vacuum-electronics microwave sources, which are envisioned to play an important role in the domain of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Indeed, only gyrotrons are capable of producing continuous electromagnetic waves ...

High power mm-wave loss measurements of ITER ex-vessel waveguide components at the FALCON test facility at the Swiss Plasma Center

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan, Avelino Mas Sanchez, Anastasia Xydou, Humberto Torreblanca Quiroz

Many future fusion devices will rely heavily, if not solely, on electron cyclotron (EC) heating subsystems to provide bulk heating, instability control (neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) stabilization), and thermal instability control. Efficient use of the i ...
