The WEST tokamak allows for high power steady-state plasma discharges in Lower Single-Null (LSN), Double-Null (DN) and Upper Single-Null (USN) configurations. In this contribution, first results from experimental L-mode DN discharges with 3.1 MW of additio ...

The Tokamak à Configuration Variable has a unique Fast Ion Loss Detector (FILD) that allows the simultaneous measurement of co- and counter-current fast-ion losses in forward or reverse magnetic field. Recently, multiple novel upgrades have been implemente ...

Plasma disruptions present a significant challenge to the viability of fusion energy production in tokamak reactors. Among disruption mitigation techniques, shattered pellet injection (SPI) has emerged as a promising approach. The results presented in this ...

Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is a large, superconducting, optimized stellarator being operated in Greifswald, Germany. One of the original optimization criteria (Grieger et al 1992 Phys. Fluids B: Plasma Physics 4 2081) is good fast-ion confinement, mainly at in ...

The M1 mirrors are part of the in -vessel quasi -optical Electron Cyclotron beam propagation system of the DEMO nuclear fusion reactor. These four mirrors are all non -movable and with a plane reflecting surface. Based on their functionality they are divid ...

Precise values for radiated energy in tokamak disruption experiments are needed to validate disruption mitigation techniques for burning plasma tokamaks like ITER and SPARC. Control room analysis of radiated power (P rad) on JET assumes axisymmetry, since ...

This paper presents a first implementation of gradient, divergence, and particle tracing schemes for the EMC3 code, a stochastic 3D plasma fluid code widely employed for edge plasma and impurity transport modeling in tokamaks and stellarators. These scheme ...

At the beginning of a machine operation, an assessment of the intrinsic error fields, spurious magnetic field perturbations which can affect plasma dynamics, is often carried out by executing the compass scan method [Scoville J.T. et al. Nucl. Fusion 43 25 ...

A major upgrade of the European DIPOle (EDIPO) test facility, which will allow the testing of superconducting samples both for fusion and for high-energy physics applications, is taking place at the Swiss Plasma Center. With a target background field of 15 ...

A first-principles scaling law, based on turbulent transport considerations, and a multimachine database of density limit discharges from the ASDEX Upgrade, JET, and TCV tokamaks, show that the increase of the boundary turbulent transport with the plasma c ...

The analysis of turbulence in plasmas is fundamental in fusion research. Despite extensive progress in theoretical modeling in the past 15 years, we still lack a complete and consistent understanding of turbulence in magnetic confinement devices, such as t ...

EDIPO 2 (the upgraded EDIPO test facility) will provide a unique testbed for superconducting cables for fusion magnets,accelerators, and other applications. Compared to the previous magnet assembly, the magnetic field is enhanced from 12.35 T to 15 T, the ...

When a nanoparticle is irradiated by an intense laser pulse, it turns into a nanoplasma, a transition that is accompanied by many interesting nonequilibrium dynamics. So far, most experiments on nanoplasmas use ion measurements, reflecting the outside dyna ...
