High Density Plasma Heating in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable

Loïc Curchod

The Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) is a medium size magnetic confinement thermonuclear fusion experiment designed for the study of the plasma performances as a function of its shape. It is equipped with a high power and highly flexible electron cyc ...

Multiple EC power deposition locations tracking by break-in-slope analysis in TCV plasmas

Timothy Goodman, Jean-Marc Moret, Antoine Pochelon, Loïc Curchod, James Paley, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Joan Decker

Modulation of the amplitude of externally injected electron cyclotron (EC) power is a frequent method used to determine the radial power deposition profile in fusion plasmas. There are many tools to analyze the plasma response to the power modulations unde ...

Demonstration of Electron-Bernstein-Wave Heating in a Tokamak via O-X-B Double-Mode Conversion

Antoine Pochelon, Laurie Porte, Loïc Curchod, Yann Camenen

The first demonstration of electron-Bernstein-wave heating by double-mode conversion from the O to the X mode in an overdense H-mode tokamak plasma has been achieved in the Tokamak a` Configuration Variable device. This technique overcomes the upper densit ...

Electron Bernstein Wave Heating and Emission in the TCV Tokamak

Timothy Goodman, Antoine Pochelon, Stefano Coda, Laurie Porte, Loïc Curchod, Yann Camenen

Electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) of high-density tokamak plasmas is limited because of reflections of the waves at so-called wave cutoffs. Electron Bernstein wave (EBW) heating (EBWH) via a double mode conversion process from ordinary (O)-mode, ...
