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 ...

This paper describes the extensive progress that has been made in the understanding of tokamak pedestal physics since the 2007 publication of 'Progress in the ITER Physics Basis' (Ikeda 2007 Nucl. Fusion 47 E01-S500). It serves as Chapter 3 of the 2025 Nuc ...

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 ...

Using local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations and building up on linear results from acompanion paper (Volcokas 2024 Submitted for publication), we demonstrate that turbulenteddies can extend along magnetic field lines for hundreds of poloidal turns in tok ...

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 ...

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 ...

Context. Magnetic fields generated in the early Universe undergo turbulent decay during the radiation-dominated era. The decay is governed by a decay exponent and a decay time. It has been argued that the latter is prolonged by magnetic reconnection, which ...

Runaway electrons (REs) are a concern for tokamak fusion reactors from discharge startup to termination. A sudden localized loss of a multi-megaampere RE beam can inflict severe damage to the first wall. Should a disruption occur, the existence of a RE see ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Good magnetic surfaces, as opposed to magnetic islands and chaotic field lines, are generally desirable for stellarators. In previous work, Landreman et al. [Phys. of Plasmas 28, 092505 (2021)] showed that equilibria computed by the Stepped-Pressure Equili ...

Leidenfrost drops were recently found to host strong dynamics. In the present study, we investigate both experimentally and theoretically the flow structures and stability inside a Leidenfrost water drop as it evaporates, starting with a large puddle. As r ...
