Operation above the Greenwald density limit in high performance DIII-D negative triangularity discharges

The density limit in strongly-shaped negative triangularity (NT) discharges is studied experimentally in the DIII-D tokamak. Record-high Greenwald fractions f G are obtained, using gas puff injection only, with values up to near 2, where f G is defined as ...

𝑋-Point Target Radiator Regime in Tokamak Divertor Plasmas

Basil Duval, Holger Reimerdes, Christian Gabriel Theiler, Artur Perek, Curdin Tobias Wüthrich, Sophie Danielle Angelica Gorno, Luke Simons, Garance Hélène Salomé Durr-Legoupil-Nicoud, Massimo Carpita, Yuxuan Wang, Martim Zurita, Francesco Pastore, Richard Alexander David Ducker, Daniele Hamm, Ming Yin Kenneth Lee, Marta Mariarmanda Pedrini

Fusion plasma regimes with a strongly radiating magnetic 𝑋 point are promising candidates to tackle the outstanding power exhaust challenge in reactor-scale devices. In this Letter, we report on a new type of 𝑋-point radiator, the XPTR (𝑋-point target radi ...

Study of correlations between LOC/SOC transition, intrinsic toroidal rotation reversal and TEM/ITG bifurcation with different working gases in TCV

Basil Duval, Filippo Bagnato, Aylwin Iantchenko, Oleg Krutkin

The effects of different working gases on the transition from linear ohmic confinement (LOC) regime to saturated ohmic confinement (SOC) regime and its relation to the intrinsic toroidal rotation reversal phenomenon were explored in the TCV tokamak. The en ...

Magnetohydrodynamic properties of nominally axisymmetric systems with 3D helical core

Olivier Sauter, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper

Magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium states with a three-dimensional helical core are computed to model the MAST spherical tokamak and the RFX-mod reversed field pinch. The boundary is fixed as axisymmetric. The MAST equilibrium state has the appearance of an i ...

Overview of TCV Results

Ambrogio Fasoli

The Tokamak `a Configuration Variable , TCV, addresses scientific questions to improve our understanding of magnetically confined plasmas and our ability to control them in ITER relevant scenarios, and explores avenues to improve the plasma performance on ...
