The quasi-continuous exhaust (QCE) regime is a type-I ELM-free high confinement regime obtained at high plasma shaping and high separatrix density. A comparison with various ELM-free regimes in the literature is presented together with potential physics mo ...

We analyze a measure for the degree of chaos in the magnetic fields of magnetic confinement fusion reactors by calculating the lobe fluxes of turnstiles - a method developed for characterizing transport into and out of resonance zones in Hamiltonian dynami ...

Plasma shape control is a fundamental tool for effective tokamak operation, allowing improved plasma performance and the pursuit of challenging scientific objectives. In this framework, the Tokamak á Configuration Variable (TCV) of the École Polytechnique ...

Helicon discharges are often considered somewhat mysterious, exhibiting experimental behaviors that are challenging to explain, such as abrupt plasma density jumps, hysteresis, and ‘blue core’ formation, among others. A significant part of the difficulty i ...

JET returned to deuterium-tritium operations in 2023 (DTE3 campaign), approximately two years after DTE2. DTE3 was designed as an extension of JET’s 2022-2023 deuterium campaigns, which focused on developing scenarios for ITER and DEMO, integrating in-dept ...

Plasma edge simulations with the SOLPS-ITER code are performed to study the influence of divertor baffles on nitrogen-seeded detachment in Tokamak & agrave; Configuration Variable (TCV) single-null, L-mode discharges. Scans of nitrogen seeding rate are con ...

In tokamaks, rotating magneto-hydro-dynamic modes frequently decelerate as their amplitude increases. Once a critical threshold in amplitude is reached, these modes stop rotating into a specific toroidal and poloidal position and are commonly named Locked ...

Metasurfaces provide an ideal platform for optical sensing because they produce strong light-field confinement and enhancement over extended regions that allow us to identify deep-subwavelength layers of organic and inorganic molecules. However, the requir ...

In preparation for error field (EF) identification experiments in ITER, a series of experiments have been conducted at JET to test the portability of the non-disruptive compass scan, a method originally designed and tested in DIII-D (Paz-Soldan et al 2022 ...

ITER is of key importance in the European fusion roadmap as it aims to prove the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion as a future energy source. The EUROfusion consortium of labs within Europe is contributing to the preparation of ITER scient ...

This work explains the anomalously high runaway electron (RE) pitch angles inferred in the flat-top of dedicated Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) experiments. Kinetic modelling shows that the resonant interaction between the gyromotion of the electro ...

The parameter R D = P rad / P cond , which measures the ratio of radiated power to conductive heat flux at downstream Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL), is proposed as a robust and practically useful figure of merit for divertor detachment control. The simulations pe ...

On ASDEX Upgrade a prioritized ‘advanced Tokamak’ program has been run during the last two experimental campaigns, focusing on the effect of non-standard current profiles on the behavior of high beta plasmas. Two lines of non-standard (i.e. non-sawtoothing ...

A plasma resistivity-β driving mechanism aimed at explaining the appearance of long wavelength global instabilities in free boundary high-β tokamak plasmas with a divertor is presented. These perturbations resemble very closely the resistive wall mode phen ...

. - Investigation of magnetised plasmas by advanced diagnostics is a relevant topic in the frame of ion sources for high-performance particle accelerators and in thermonuclear fusion research for energetic purposes. In this paper, we propose two different ...

We demonstrate for the first time that the nonlinear saturation of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) can be found directly using a variational principle based on Taylor relaxation, without needing to simulate the intermediate, resistivity-dependent dynamic ...

Under the auspices of EUROfusion, the ITER baseline (IBL) scenario has been jointly investigated on AUG and TCV in the past years and this paper reports on the developments on TCV. It is found that the performance of TCV IBL is mainly limited by (neoclassi ...

In recent years a strong effort has been made to investigate disruption avoidance schemes in order to aid the development of integrated operational scenarios for ITER. Within the EUROfusion programme the disruptive H-mode density limit (HDL) has been studi ...

Tokamak devices aim to magnetically confine a hydrogen plasma at sufficiently high pressure to achieve net energy production from nuclear fusion of light isotopes. Predictive modeling and optimization is crucial for reliable operation of tokamak reactors, ...

The Joint European Torus recently carried out an experimental campaign using a plasma consisting of both deuterium (D) and tritium (T). We observed a high-frequency mode using a reflectometer and an interferometer in a D-T plasma heated with low power neut ...
