Homogenous power distribution along gyrotron collector walls

Stefano Alberti, Damien Fasel, Pierre-François Isoz, Jean-Philippe Hogge, Ugo Siravo, Jérémie Dubray, Miguel Filipe Silva Füglister

EC RF power sources will play a major role in the future operation of large scale tokamaks (ITER, DEMO). A 1MW/170GHz gyrotron is the standard RF power unit considered for ITER. Even though the efficiency of such devices has been significantly increased th ...

Prototype mitre bends of the ex-vessel waveguide system for the ITER upper launcher: Thermal hydraulic simulations and experiments with off-center mm-wave beams

René Chavan, Timothy Goodman, Matteo Vagnoni, Anastasia Xydou, Humberto Torreblanca Quiroz

On ITER, long pulse gyrotrons are required as a power source for electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (CD). The microwaves are guided from the gyrotrons, which are placed far from the Tokamak, into the plasma by transmission lines (TLs) and a ...
