Plasma heating and generation of energetic D ions with the 3-ion ICRF + NBI scenario in mixed H-D plasmas at JET-ILW

Henri Weisen, Javier García Hernández

Dedicated experiments were conducted in mixed H-D plasmas in JET to demonstrate the efficiency of the 3-ion ICRF scenario for plasma heating, relying on injected fast NBI ions as the resonant ion component. Strong core localization of the RF power depositi ...

Synergistic ICRH and NBI Heating for Fast Ion Generation and Maximising Fusion Rate in Mixed Plasmas at JET

Henri Weisen

The studies of recent JET experiments in H/D approximate to 0.85/0.15 plasma (2.9T/2MA) in which neutron rate was enhanced by applying 2.5MW of ICRH using D-(D-NBI)-H three-ion scheme are reported. An extensive analysis of this novel heating scenario has b ...

Design of the third-generation neutron spallation target for the CERN's n_TOF facility

Raffaele Esposito

The neutron Time-Of-Flight (n_TOF) facility at the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN) is a pulsed white-spectrum neutron spallation source producing neutrons for two experimental areas: EAR1, located 185 m downstream of the spallation target, ...

SCALE/AMPX multigroup libraries for sodium-cooled fast reactor systems

Andreas Pautz, Friederike Bostelmann

New multigroup cross section libraries and associated covariance files that are optimized for the analysis of sodium-cooled fast reactors were generated with the AMPX tools distributed with the SCALE code system. These new libraries account for the fast ne ...

Generation and observation of fast deuterium ions and fusion-born alpha particles in JET D-He-3 plasmas with the 3-ion radio-frequency heating scenario

Henri Weisen, Javier García Hernández, Alberto Mariani, Samuele Mazzi

Dedicated experiments to generate energetic D ions and D-(3) He fusion-born alpha particles were performed at the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall (ILW). Using the 3-ion D-(D-NBI)-(3) He radio frequency (RF) heating scenario, deuterium io ...
