The new TORPEX in-vessel toroidal conductor for the generation of a poloidal magnetic field

TORoidal Plasma EXperiment (TORPEX) is a Simple Magnetized Torus featuring open helical magnetic field lines obtained from the superposition of a small vertical component on the main toroidal field. This work introduces the experimental setup developed to ...

On the non-stiffness of edge transport in L-mode tokamak plasmas

Stephan Brunner, Roland Behn, Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Alexander Karpushov, Yann Camenen, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Doohyun Kim, Gabriele Merlo, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Donghyun Kim

Transport analyses using first-principle turbulence codes and 11/2-D transport codes usually study radial transport properties between the tokamak plasma magnetic axis and a normalized minor radius around 0.8. In this region, heat transport shows significa ...

Ideal ballooning modes in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Sébastien Jolliet, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Paolo Ricci, Annamaria Mosetto, Federico David Halpern

A drift-reduced Braginskii fluid model is used to carry out a linear and non-linear study of ideal ballooning modes in the tokamak scrape-off layer. First, it is shown that the scrape-off layer finite connection length and boundary conditions modify the id ...

Microphysics of Cosmic Plasmas: Hierarchies of Plasma Instabilities from MHD to Kinetic

Ivo Furno

In this article, we discuss the idea of a hierarchy of instabilities that can rapidly couple the disparate scales of a turbulent plasma system. First, at the largest scale of the system, L, current carrying flux ropes can undergo a kink instability. Second ...
