An upgrade of the Tokamak à Chauffage Alfvén Brésilien (TCABR) is being designed to make it capable of creating a well controlled environment where the impact of resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) fields on edge localised modes can be addressed over a wi ...

High amplitude energetic particle geodesic acoustic mode (EGAM) oscillations driven by Neutral Beam (NBI) injected in the direction counter to the toroidal plasma current are observed in the TCV tokamak. The modes appear at frequencies close to the geodesi ...

This paper describes the extensive progress that has been made in the understanding of tokamak pedestal physics since the 2007 publication of 'Progress in the ITER Physics Basis' (Ikeda 2007 Nucl. Fusion 47 E01-S500). It serves as Chapter 3 of the 2025 Nuc ...

Scattering between charges and collective modes in materials governs phenomena such as electrical resistance, energy dissipation, and phase switching. Studying such scattering requires simultaneous access to ultrafast and momentum-resolved dynamics of sing ...

Tokamaks are experimental nuclear fusion reactors that exploit magnetic-field-generating coils to confine a plasma. In these devices, plasma shape control is crucial to achieving high performance and pursuing challenging scientific objectives. With its lar ...

Experiments on ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) in 2021 and 2022 have addressed a number of critical issues for ITER and EU DEMO. A major objective of the AUG programme is to shed light on the underlying physics of confinement, stability, and plasma exhaust in order to ...

Single-stage optimization, also known as combined plasma-coil algorithms or direct coil optimization, has recently emerged as a possible method to expedite the design of stellarator devices by including, in a single step, confinement, stability, and engine ...

Nonlinear simulations of Alfvén modes (AMs) driven by energetic particles (EPs) in the presence of turbulence are performed with the gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code ORB5. The AMs carry a heat flux, and consequently they nonlinearly modify the plasma temp ...

ITER envisages the use of two heating neutral beam injectors plus an optional one as part of the auxiliary heating and current drive system, to reach the desired performances during its various phases of operation. The 16.5 MW expected neutral beam power p ...

In this letter, we present a custom-designed and flexible readout circuitry for the characterization of flexible and planar electrolyte-gated carbon nanotube field-effect transistor-based biosensors for ammonium detection in sweat. We employed spray-deposi ...

Integrating optically active III-V materials on silicon/insulator platforms is one potential path towards improving the energy efficiency and performance of modern computing. Here we demonstrate the applicability of direct wafer bonding combined with plasm ...

Scalable and sustainable photovoltaic technologies require low-cost and earth-abundant semiconducting materials. Zinc phosphide is purported to be an absorber material with optimal photovoltaic properties. Herein we report the electrical properties of Zn3P ...

This paper presents symmetry reduction for material stochastic Lagrangian systems with advected quantities whose configuration space is a Lie group. Such variational principles yield deterministic as well as stochastic constrained variational principles fo ...

Good magnetic surfaces, as opposed to magnetic islands and chaotic field lines, are generally desirable for stellarators. In previous work, Landreman et al. [Phys. of Plasmas 28, 092505 (2021)] showed that equilibria computed by the Stepped-Pressure Equili ...

Evidence that density shoulder broadening is dependent on high main-chamber neutral density is presented. Shoulder broadening does notoccur when the sources for main-chamber neutrals are minimized using divertor baffles and wide gaps to the first wall (sim ...

A search for exclusive two-photon production via photon exchange in proton-proton collisions, pp -> p gamma gamma p with intact protons, is presented. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 9.4 fb(-1) collected in 2016 using the CMS and TOTEM d ...
