Helicon wave-generated plasmas for negative ion beams for fusion

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Gennady Plyushchev, Claudio Marini

In the next generation of fusion reactors, such as DEMO, neutral beam injectors (NBIs) of high energy (0.8-1 MeV) deuterium atom swith high wall-plug efficiency (>50%) will be required to reach burning plasma conditions and to provide a significant amount ...

Generalised zonal modes in stationary axisymmetric plasmas

Jonathan Graves

The MHD model enables derivation and analysis of the rich structure of geodesic acoustic modes (GAMs) and zonal modes in axisymmetric magnetic confined plasmas. The modes are identifiable from a single dispersion relation as two branches of slow magnetoson ...

Ion heating and flows in a high power helicon source

Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Gennady Plyushchev

We report experimental measurements of ion temperatures and flows in a high power, linear, magnetized, helicon plasma device, the Resonant Antenna Ion Device (RAID). Parallel and perpendicular ion temperatures on the order of 0.6 eV are observed for an rf ...

Negative ion source development for a photoneutralization based neutral beam system for future fusion reactors

Basil Duval, Ivo Furno, Alan Howling, Philippe Frédérique Bruno Guittienne, Rémy Jacquier, Riccardo Agnello, Claudio Marini

In parallel to the developments dedicated to the ITER neutral beam (NB) system, CEA-IRFM with laboratories in France and Switzerland are studying the feasibility of a new generation of NB system able to provide heating and current drive for the future DEMO ...

Saturated ideak kink/peeling formations described as three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic tokamak equilibrium states

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Jonathan Graves, Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Holger Reimerdes, Laurie Porte, Trach-Minh Tran, David Pfefferlé, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin, Hamish William Patten, Daniele Brunetti, Madhusudan Raghunathan, Andreas Kleiner

Free boundary magnetohydrodynamic equilibrium states with spontaneous three dimensional deformations of the plasma-vacuum interface are computed for the first time. The structures obtained have the appearance of saturated ideal external kink/peeling modes. ...

Threshold power for the transition into H-mode for H, D, and He plasmas in TCV

Basil Duval, Yves Martin, Benoît Labit, Laurie Porte, Alexander Karpushov, Roland Behn

The threshold power for the transition into H-mode with hydrogen (H), deuterium (D), and helium (He) as majority ion species has been evaluated from a series of dedicated experiments on the tokamak TCV. Identical plasma configurations with a single-null X- ...

Plans for the first plasma operation of Wendelstein 7-X

Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) is currently under commissioning in preparation for its initial plasma operation phase, operation phase 1.1 (OP1.1). This first phase serves primarily to provide an integral commissioning of all major systems needed for plasma operat ...

The merits of ion cyclotron heating schemes for sawtooth control in tokamak plasmas

Jonathan Graves, Jonathan Marc Philippe Faustin

JET experiments have compared the efficacy of low-and high field side ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) as an actuator to deliberately minimise the sawtooth period. It is found that low-field side ICRH with low minority concentration is optimal for sa ...

The new TORPEX in-vessel toroidal conductor for the generation of a poloidal magnetic field

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Fabio Avino

TORoidal Plasma EXperiment (TORPEX) is a Simple Magnetized Torus featuring open helical magnetic field lines obtained from the superposition of a small vertical component on the main toroidal field. This work introduces the experimental setup developed to ...
