Magnetic field configurational study on a helicon-based plasma source for future neutral beam systems

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

A helicon-based plasma source is under development and exploration at CEA-IRFM to produce an efficient and dense magnetized plasma column. The final objective of this development is the extraction and acceleration of a blade-like negative ion beam in view ...

Development and optimisation of advanced auxiliary ion heating schemes for 3D fusion plasma devices

Hamish William Patten

The magnetic confinement fusion devices known as the tokamak and the stellarator are progressing towards becoming viable commercial nuclear fusion reactor designs. Both ap- proaches require improvements in the applied heating sources and in the particle an ...

Simulation of plasma turbulence in the periphery of diverted tokamaks

Paola Paruta

The turbulent plasma dynamics in the periphery of a fusion device plays a key role in determining its overall performance. In fact, the periphery controls the heat load on the vessel walls, the plasma confinement, the level of impurities in the core, the ...

Self-consistent interaction of fast particles and ICRF waves in 3D applications of fusion plasma devices

Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin

Tokamaks and stellarators are the most promising reactor concepts using the magnetic confinement to contain the plasma fuel. Reactors capable of sustaining deuterium-tritium (D-T) fusion reactions requires the confinement of a very high temperature plasma ...

Plasma cleaning of ITER first mirrors

Stefano Alberti, Ivo Furno

Nuclear fusion is an extremely attractive option for future generations to compete with the strong increase in energy consumption. Proper control of the fusion plasma is mandatory to reach the ambitious objectives set while preserving the machine's integri ...

Scrape-Off Layer physics in limited plasmas in TCV

Federico Nespoli

Controlled nuclear fusion is the most promising candidate for being an inexhaustible, clean and intrinsically safe energy source. In the tokamak fusion reactor concept, a high temperature plasma is confined by magnetic fields. Turbulence diffuses the confi ...

We report the first experimental observation of the depolarization of the Thomson scattering (TS) radiation, a relativistic effect expected to occur in very high T-e plasmas and never observed so far in a fusion machine. A set of unused optical fibers in t ...
