Experimental investigation of the radial structure of energetic particle driven GAM in TCV

Alexander Karpushov, Mario Ludovico Podesta, Duccio Testa, Umar Sheikh, Luke Simons, Jesús Poley Sanjuán

High amplitude energetic particle geodesic acoustic mode (EGAM) oscillations driven by Neutral Beam (NBI) injected in the direction counter to the toroidal plasma current are observed in the TCV tokamak. The modes appear at frequencies close to the geodesi ...

A new FILDSIM model for improved velocity-space sensitivity modelling and reconstructions

Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Jesús Poley Sanjuán

We present a new version of the FILDSIM code (Galdon-Quiroga et al 2018 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 60 105005), which significantly refines the modelling of the fast-ion loss detector (FILD) signal. We demonstrate that the FILD weight functions computed u ...
