The ability to drive the plasma potential in a magnetized plasma column using strongly negatively biased emissive cathode is experimentally demonstrated. By analysing an extensive experimental dataset, and in particular the evolution of the radial profiles ...

The impact of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD)-driven current on toroidicity-induced Alfven eigenmodes (TAEs) in experiments on the AUG tokamak is investigated numerically. The dynamical evolution of the plasma profiles and equilibria are modelled w ...

The Tokamak a` Configuration Variable (TCV) coil converters are fed, during the plasma pulse, by a flywheel generator (FG) providing the AC voltages few seconds before the plasma pulse. The synchronization with the 120 Hz frequency delivered by the FG, var ...

The application of microfluidics in the field of surface-based assays and more specifically, the spatial molecular profiling of tumor tissues has gained a lot of interest, especially with the increased interest in personalized medicine and targeted therapy ...

In situ, two-dimensional (2D) Langmuir probe measurements across a large part of the TCV outer divertor are reported in L-mode discharges with and without divertor baffles. This provides detailed insights into time averaged profiles, particle fluxes, and f ...

Future fusion reactors require a safe, steady state divertor operation. The required detached operation is, in tokamaks with metal walls, usually achieved by seeding of impurities, such as nitrogen. With strong seeding levels, the dominant radiation is emi ...

Mechanisms setting the density decay in the scrape-off layer (SOL) at the outer midplane of a tokamak plasma are disentangled using two-fluid numerical simulations in a double-null magnetic configuration and analytical estimates. Typical experimental obser ...

The coupling currents loss for fusion conductors is frequently assessed applying a sinusoidal field sweep of fixed, small amplitude and variable frequency. From the initial slope of the loss curve, the coupling loss time constant is derived and applied in ...

The relaxation of the constraint of periodicity imposed by the external confining magnetic field coils in a nominally 4-field period Helias Advanced Stellarator configuration produces weak periodicity-breaking deformations of the plasma. The corrugations a ...

This thesis presents an experimental investigation of the plasma formation in the TCV tokamak. The primary goal of this work was to program a reliable and smooth plasma formation at several positions within the TCV vessel and then use the gained understand ...

State-of-the-art magnets of fusion devices, which are based on low temperature superconductors (LTS), have almost reached their technological limits in terms of generated magnetic fields. Further progress can be made using novel high temperature supercondu ...
