Two-plasmon decay instabilities (TPDIs) are a class of parametric instabilities where a gyrotron beam, polarized in X-mode, decays nonlinearly into two upper hybrid waves at approximately half frequency. Here, we present the design of a simple radiometer t ...
A dual-frequency gyrotron has been developed within the context of the recent Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) upgrade. The gyrotron is designed to generate a 1 MW, 2 seconds RF wave at 84 or 126 GHz. Before integrating the gyrotrons in the TCV tokam ...
Variational autoencoder (VAE)-based representation learning algorithms are explored for their capability to disentangle tokamak size dependence from other dependencies in a dataset of thousands of observed pedestal electron density and temperature profiles ...
