Conceptual design of ELM control coils for the TCABR tokamak

An upgrade of the Tokamak à Chauffage Alfvén Brésilien (TCABR) is being designed to make it capable of creating a well controlled environment where the impact of resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) fields on edge localised modes can be addressed over a wi ...

Experimental investigation of the radial structure of energetic particle driven GAM in TCV

Duccio Testa, Alexander Karpushov, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Umar Sheikh, Luke Simons, Jesús Poley Sanjuán, Anton Jansen Van Vuuren

High amplitude energetic particle geodesic acoustic mode (EGAM) oscillations driven by Neutral Beam (NBI) injected in the direction counter to the toroidal plasma current are observed in the TCV tokamak. The modes appear at frequencies close to the geodesi ...

Simplified and Flexible Coils for Stellarators using Single-Stage Optimization

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

Single-stage optimization, also known as combined plasma-coil algorithms or direct coil optimization, has recently emerged as a possible method to expedite the design of stellarator devices by including, in a single step, confinement, stability, and engine ...

Design of a novel plasma shape controller for the TCV tokamak

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Cristian Galperti, Adriano Mele, Alessandro Tenaglia

Tokamaks are experimental nuclear fusion reactors that exploit magnetic-field-generating coils to confine a plasma. In these devices, plasma shape control is crucial to achieving high performance and pursuing challenging scientific objectives. With its lar ...

Overview of ASDEX upgrade results in view of ITER and DEMO

Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Benoît Labit, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Simon Van Mulders, Alessandro Pau, Mengdi Kong, Cristian Sommariva

Experiments on ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) in 2021 and 2022 have addressed a number of critical issues for ITER and EU DEMO. A major objective of the AUG programme is to shed light on the underlying physics of confinement, stability, and plasma exhaust in order to ...

Performance review of the joints for the ITER poloidal field coils

Kamil Sedlák, Hugues Marie Alain Bajas

For large scale magnets wound with cable-in-conduit conductors, the safe operation of the joints is of paramount importance to guarantee adequate reliability and stability margin of the whole magnet. For this reason, during the R & D activities undertaken ...

Nonlinear interaction of Alfvénic instabilities and turbulence via the modification of the equilibrium profiles

Laurent Villard, Alberto Bottino

Nonlinear simulations of Alfvén modes (AMs) driven by energetic particles (EPs) in the presence of turbulence are performed with the gyrokinetic particle-in-cell code ORB5. The AMs carry a heat flux, and consequently they nonlinearly modify the plasma temp ...

Compressed sensing with ℓ 0-norm: statistical physics analysis & algorithms for signal recovery

Lenka Zdeborová, Florent Gérard Krzakala, Damien Yves Valery Barbier

Noiseless compressive sensing is a protocol that enables undersampling and later recovery of a signal without loss of information. This compression is possible because the signal is usually sufficiently sparse in a given basis. Currently, the algorithm off ...

Lessons learned after three years of SPIDER operation and the first MITICA integrated tests

Riccardo Agnello, Basile Marie Jacques Pouradier Duteil

ITER envisages the use of two heating neutral beam injectors plus an optional one as part of the auxiliary heating and current drive system, to reach the desired performances during its various phases of operation. The 16.5 MW expected neutral beam power p ...
