The Topology of Non-resonant Stellarator Divertors

We apply topological methods to better understand how the magnetic field in the stellarator edge can be diverted away from the confined region. Our primary method is calculating the winding numbers of closed contours, which gives information on the number ...

Radio-frequency capacitively coupled plasma parameters evolution as a function of magnetic field strength

Ivo Furno, Alessandro Geraldini

The use of magnetic fields in low-temperature plasma physics is promising in numerous applications. The magnetic field acts on the kinetic of the plasma charged particles, drastically modifying the ion and electron trajectories in the plasma. The influence ...

Scenario optimization for the tokamak ramp-down phase in RAPTOR: A. Analysis and model validation on ASDEX Upgrade

Olivier Sauter, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Anna Teplukhina, Simon Van Mulders, Cassandre Ekta Contré

We discuss how the combination of experimental observations and rapid modeling has enabled to improve understanding of the tokamak ramp-down phase in ASDEX Upgrade. A series of dedicated experiments has been performed, to disentangle the effect of individu ...

Dynamics of JET runaway electron beams in D2-rich shattered pellet injection mitigation experiments

Olivier Sauter, Alessandro Pau, Joan Decker, Cristian Sommariva

The publication provide further insights into the dynamics of JET runaway electron (RE) beams mitigated by D2-rich shattered pellet injection (SPI) (Reux et al 2022 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 64 034002). Multi-diagnostic analyses show that mechanisms cau ...

Modelling of nonneutral plasmas trapped by electric and magnetic fields relevant to gyrotron electron guns

Guillaume Michel Le Bars

Gyrotrons are a class of high-power vacuum-electronics microwave sources, which are envisioned to play an important role in the domain of magnetically confined fusion plasmas. Indeed, only gyrotrons are capable of producing continuous electromagnetic waves ...

Electronic metadevices for terahertz applications

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Mohammad Samizadeh Nikooytabalvandani

The evolution of electronics has largely relied on downscaling to meet the continuous needs for faster and highly integrated devices(1). As the channel length is reduced, however, classic electronic devices face fundamental issues that hinder exploiting ma ...

An adaptive moving mesh finite difference scheme for tokamak magneto-hydrodynamic simulations

Junming Duan

An adaptive moving mesh finite difference scheme is developed for tokamak magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) simulations, based on the CLT code (S. Wang and Z.W. Ma, Phys. Plasmas, 2015). Our numerical scheme is built on the MHD equations in curvilinear coordinate ...

Development of a reduced model for energetic particle transport by sawteeth in tokamaks

Mario Ludovico Podesta, Francesca Maria Poli, Anna Teplukhina, Matteo Vallar, Jiangyan Yang

The sawtooth instability is known for inducing transport and loss of energetic particles (EPs), and for generating seed magnetic islands that can trigger tearing modes. Both effects degrade the overall plasma performance. Several theories and numerical mod ...

An adjoint method for determining the sensitivity of island size to magnetic field variations

Alessandro Geraldini

An adjoint method to calculate the gradient of island width in stellarators is presented and applied to a set of magnetic field configurations. The underlying method for calculation of the island width is that of Cary & Hanson (Phys. Fluids B, vol. 3, issu ...

Semi-empirical extrapolation of JET baseline and hybrid scenario fusion performance to D-T operation

Henri Weisen

We present DT neutron rate extrapolations for the baseline and hybrid scenarios of the imminent JET DTE2 experimental campaign using the Monte Carlo heating code ASCOT, using empirically scaled plasmas parameters as inputs. The scalings used are based on t ...

Theory-based scaling laws of near and far scrape-off layer widths in single-null L-mode discharges

Jan Horacek, Paolo Ricci, Holger Reimerdes, Cedric Kar-Wai Tsui, Maurizio Giacomin

Theory-based scaling laws of the near and far scrape-off layer (SOL) widths are analytically derived for L-mode diverted tokamak discharges by using a two-fluid model. The near SOL pressure and density decay lengths are obtained by leveraging a balance amo ...

Identification of an Optimized Heating and Fast Ion Generation Scheme for the Wendelstein 7-X Stellarator

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Graves, Hamish William Patten

A Doppler shifted resonance minority species ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) scheme for heating neutral beam ions has been identified and optimized for theWendelstein 7-X stellarator. Compared with more conventional methods, the synergetic scheme i ...

Output-Capacitance Hysteresis Losses of Field-Effect Transistors

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Armin Jafari, Luca Nela, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Georgios Kampitsis

Resonant-type power converters are supposed to generate zero switching losses during soft-switching operation. In recent research, unexpected switching losses were reported in these converters, which were attributed to a large-signal hysteresis observed in ...

Engineering and integration risks arising from advanced magnetic divertor configurations

Holger Reimerdes

The divertor configuration defines the power exhaust capabilities of DEMO as one of the major key design parameters and sets a number of requirements on the tokamak layout, including port sizes, poloidal field coil positions, and size of toroidal field coi ...

Magnetic ground state of the frustrated spin-1/2 chain compound beta-TeVO4 at high magnetic fields

Helmuth Berger, Jonathan White

Frustrated spin-1/2 chains, despite the apparent simplicity, exhibit a remarkably rich phase diagram comprising vector-chiral (VC), spin-density-wave (SDW), and multipolar/spin-nematic phases as a function of the magnetic field. Here we report a study of b ...
