Iterative learning optimization and control of MAST-U breakdown and early ramp-up scenarios

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Adriano Mele

Plasma start-up is a crucial phase for tokamak operations and its design and optimization is getting more and more attention in view of the operation of future large tokamaks like ITER, where costs, risks and operational limits require more design tools. M ...

Energetic particle physics: Chapter 7 of the special issue: on the path to tokamak burning plasma operation

Mario Ludovico Podesta

We review the physics of energetic particles (EPs) in magnetically confined burning fusion plasmas with focus on advances since the last update of the ITER Physics Basis (Fasoli et al 2007 Nucl. Fusion 47 S264). Topics include basic EP physics, EP generati ...

Correlation of the L-mode density limit with edge collisionality

Alessandro Pau

The 'density limit' is one of the fundamental bounds on tokamak operating space, and is commonly estimated via the empirical Greenwald scaling. This limit has garnered renewed interest in recent years as it has become clear that ITER and many tokamak pilot ...

Effect of Local Defects on HTS Fusion Magnets Performance

Xabier Sarasola Martin

Local defects in the manufacturing of high temperature superconducting cable-in-conduit conductors are known to be present at different stages of the conductor production. The impact of such defects on the performance of one module of the hybrid option of ...

Experimental validation of an integrated modelling approach to neutron emission studies at JET

Henri Weisen

An integrated modelling methodology for the calculation of realistic plasma neutron sources for the JET tokamak has been developed. The computational chain comprises TRANSP plasma transport and DRESS neutron spectrum calculations, and their coupling to the ...

Gas-puff induced cold pulse propagation in ADITYA-U tokamak

Harshita Raj

Short bursts (similar to 1 ms) of gas, injecting similar to 10(17)-10(18) molecules of hydrogen and/or deuterium, lead to the observation of cold pulse propagation phenomenon in hydrogen plasmas of the ADITYA-U tokamak. After every injection, a sharp incre ...

MHD Stability and Energy Principle for Two-Dimensional Equilibria without Assumption of Nested Magnetic Surfaces

Laurent Villard, Andrei Martynov

Abandoning the assumption of nested magnetic surfaces in tokamak plasma expands the field of research and opens up new approaches for both theoretical and experimental plasma physics. The computer code KINX for calculations of the ideal MHD stability was d ...
