Integration concept of an Electron Cyclotron System in DEMO

René Chavan, Minh Quang Tran, Hartmut Zohm, Konstantinos Avramidis

The pre-conceptual layout for an electron cyclotron system (ECS) in DEMO is described. The present DEMO ECS considers only equatorial ports for both plasma heating and neoclassical tearing mode (NTM) control. This differs from ITER, where four launchers in ...

Helicon wave plasma generated by a resonant birdcage antenna: magnetic field measurements and analysis in the RAID linear device

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello

This paper describes a helicon-wave-sustained plasma generated by a novel birdcage antenna with cosine azimuthal current distribution. The resonant birdcage source maintains a stable intense plasma column from low (300 W) to high (10 kW) steady-state RF po ...

Dipole-Fed Rectangular Dielectric Resonator Antennas for Magnetic Resonance Imaging at 7 T: The Impact of Quasi-Transverse Electric Modes on Transmit Field Distribution

Rolf Gruetter, Daniel Wenz

Shortened dipole antennas based on rectangular dielectric blocks play an important role in ultrahigh field magnetic resonance imaging (UHF-MRI) radio frequency (RF) coil design. However, the generally assumed direct contact with the subject is difficult to ...

Modeling of TAE mode excitation with an antenna in realistic X-point geometry

Ambrogio Fasoli, Duccio Testa

Experimentally, it is observed that Toroidal Alfven Eigenmodes (TAEs) are difficult to excite with an external antenna when the plasma is in X-point geometry. Here, the effect of the X-point geometry on the efficiency of the TAE excitation with the externa ...
