This paper presents the first result using nitrogen-seeded exhaust feedback control of the NII impurity emission front in TCV. The NII emission front position is consistently located below its commonly used CIII counterpart, indicating the NII emission fro ...

Imaging diagnostics in Joint European Torus have become essential in the study of plasma wall interactions and the protection of the plasma facing components. During deuterium operations, the location of these diagnostics was at close proximity to the vess ...

The surface erosion of biased electrodes immersed in a radio frequency (RF) plasma was investigated in oblique magnetic fields ranging from 0.1 T to 3.5 T. The plasma potential and density in the vicinity of the biased electrode have been measured using an ...

We present recent highlights from the most recent operation phases of Wendelstein 7-X, the most advanced stellarator in the world. Stable detachment with good particle exhaust, low impurity content, and energy confinement times exceeding 100 ms, have been ...

The Debye sheath is known to vanish completely in magnetised plasmas for a sufficiently small electron gyroradius and small angle between the magnetic field and the wall. This angle depends on the current onto the wall. When the Debye sheath vanishes, ther ...

In this work, the stepped pressure equilibrium code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19 112502), which computes the equilibria of the multi-region relaxed magnetohydrodynamic energy principle (MRxMHD), has been upgraded to determine the MRxMHD stabi ...

In this study, we present a technical and economic assessment of high-current HTS bus bars for primary use in fusion reactors. Our objective is to verify the technical feasibility of such conductors and, for this purpose, we carry out a conceptual design o ...

A core fluctuation diagnostic based on the phase-contrast imaging (PCI) technique has been designed for the JT-60SA tokamak, with the assistance of a synthetic diagnostic coupled to a gyrokinetic code. Using a tangentially viewing geometry, this system wou ...

The scattering of millimeter-wave beams from electron density fluctuations and the associated beam broadening are experimentally demonstrated. Using a dedicated setup, instantaneous deflection and (de-)focusing of the beam due to density blobs on the beam ...

Alfven eigenmodes (AEs) driven by energetic alpha particles can lead to enhanced fast ion transport and losses, thereby degrading the plasma performance in ITER and future magnetic confinement fusion reactors. Unexpectedly, AEs with negative toroidal mode ...

Fluid models used to study the edge plasma region need to be benchmarked against similar conditions given that models can strongly differ in complexity and therefore the results they produce. Via this validation study undertaken through the framework of EU ...
