Expulsion of runaway electrons using ECRH in the TCV tokamak

Ewout Koen L. Devlaminck, Stefano Coda, Basil Duval, Laurie Porte, Umar Sheikh, Joan Decker, Cristian Sommariva, Luke Simons, Benjamin Alexandre Vincent, Umesh Kumar, Arsène Stéphane Tema Biwole, Jean Arthur Cazabonne

Runaway electrons (REs) are a concern for tokamak fusion reactors from discharge startup to termination. A sudden localized loss of a multi-megaampere RE beam can inflict severe damage to the first wall. Should a disruption occur, the existence of a RE see ...

Nonlinear interaction of Alfvénic instabilities and turbulence via the modification of the equilibrium profiles

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino

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 ...

Performance review of the joints for the ITER poloidal field coils

Kamil Sedlák, Hugues Marie Alain Bajas

For large scale magnets wound with cable-in-conduit conductors, the safe operation of the joints is of paramount importance to guarantee adequate reliability and stability margin of the whole magnet. For this reason, during the R & D activities undertaken ...

Sampling strategies for the Herman-Kluk propagator of the wavefunction

Fabian Kröninger, Jiri Vanicek

When the semiclassical Herman-Kluk propagator is used for evaluating quantum-mechanical observables or time-correlation functions, the initial conditions for the guiding trajectories are typically sampled from the Husimi density. Here, we employ this propa ...

Complete field-induced spectral response of the spin-1/2 triangular-lattice antiferromagnet CsYbSe2

Bruce Normand, Andreas Martin Läuchli Herzig

Fifty years after Anderson's resonating valence-bond proposal, the spin-1/2 triangular-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet (TLHAF) remains the ultimate platform to explore highly entangled quantum spin states in proximity to magnetic order. Yb-based delafos ...
