Effects of reflected electrons on the efficiency of high-power gyrotrons

Efficiency is a key factor for high-power gyrotrons, particularly in future fusion power plants, where a large number of gyrotron units will be required for plasma heating. A single-stage depressed collector enhances efficiency from approximately 35% to 50 ...

Electromagnetic instability and turbulence in plasmas with positive and negative triangularity

Olivier Sauter, Justin Richard Ball, Matteo Vallar, Reinart Andreas J. Coosemans

While a number of studies exist comparing positive triangularity (PT) and negative triangularity (NT) δ, the nature of how the normalized electron pressure β affects microinstabilities and turbulence in fusion devices with substantial δ has not been studie ...

Plasmoid drift and first wall heat deposition during ITER H-mode dual-SPIs in JOREK simulations

Mengdi Kong

The heat flux mitigation during the thermal quench (TQ) by the shattered pellet injection (SPI) is one of the major elements of disruption mitigation strategy for ITER. It's efficiency greatly depends on the SPI and the target plasma parameters, and is ult ...

Comprehensive Screening of Plasma-Facing Materials for Nuclear Fusion

Nicola Marzari, Paolo Ricci, Andrea Fedrigucci

Plasma-facing materials (PFMs) represent one of the most significant challenges for the design of future nuclear fusion reactors. Inside the reactor, the divertor will experience the harshest material environment: intense bombardment of neutrons and plasma ...

Impact of collisionality on turbulence in the edge of tokamak plasma using 3D global simulations

Davide Galassi

Collisionality is one of the key parameters in determining turbulent transport in the plasma edge, regulating phenomena such as 'shoulder formation', separation of scale lengths in the scrape-off layer (SOL), turbulence damping and zonal flow dynamics. Und ...
