Equilibrium β-limits dependence on bootstrap current in classical stellarators

Hugo Paul Arbez, Jonathan Graves, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Antoine Baillod

While it is important to design stellarators with high magnetohydrodynamic stability β-limit, it is also crucial to ensure that good magnetic surfaces exist in a large range of β values. As β increases, pressure-driven currents perturb the vacuum magnetic ...

Isotope effects on energy transport in the core of ASDEX-Upgrade tokamak plasmas: Turbulence measurements and model validation

Pedro Andres Molina Cabrera

Design and operation of future tokamak fusion reactors using a deuterium-tritium 50:50 mix requires a solid understanding of how energy confinement properties change with ion mass. This study looks at how turbulence and energy transport change in L-mode pl ...

Persistent random walks of charged particles across magnetic field lines

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabian Manke

We investigate the time evolution of the mean location and variance of a charged particle subject to random collisions that are Poisson distributed. The particle moves on a plane and is subject to a magnetic field applied perpendicular to the plane, so it ...

Using APCS for Plasma Vertical Control at TCV

Stefano Coda, Basil Duval, Jean-Marc Moret, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, James Paley, Francesco Piras

Early tokamaks with circular cross-section plasmas were vertically stable in nature and no problems were reported on the control of the vertical position. However, the concept of vertically elongated plasma cross-section, with benefits to the energy confin ...
