Divertor turbulence characterisation using Gas Puff Imaging in the TCV tokamak

The performance of magnetic confinement fusion devices, such as tokamaks, is strongly correlated to the phenomena that occur in the boundary region of the plasma core that faces the wall of the device. The dominant cross-field transport mechanisms from the ...

The SparSpec algorithm and the application to the detection of spatial periodicities in tokamaks: from a 1D to a 2D analysis

Duccio Testa

A well-known, previously only 1D, algorithm using the Sparse Representation of Signals and an iterative Block Coordinate Descent method (the SparSpec-1D algorithm) has been further developed and tested in a 2D spatial domain to obtain the toroidal and polo ...

Chiral fermion asymmetry in high-energy plasma simulations

Jennifer Waltraud Schober

The chiral magnetic effect (CME) is a quantum relativistic effect that describes the appearance of an additional electric current along a magnetic field. It is caused by an asymmetry between the number densities of left- and right-handed fermions, which ca ...

Poloidal CX visible light plasma rotation diagnostics in TCV

Claudio Marini

Controlled thermonuclear fusion is the main goal of plasma physics. At the Swiss Plasma Center, the Tokamak `a Configuration Variable (TCV) constitutes the main experiment on fusion research, where high temperature plasmas are confined by means of magneti ...

Basic characterization of TORPEX electrostatic modes in closed field line configurations

Ambrogio Fasoli, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Fabio Avino, Sébastien Jolliet

Electrostatic coherent modes are studied in the TORPEX device [Fasoli et al., Plasma Phys. Controlled Fusion 52, 124020 (2010)], in closed flux surfaces. The accessibility to this magnetic geometry is provided by a current-carrying in-vessel toroidal condu ...

Optimization of experimental snowflake configurations on TCV

Stefano Coda, Jean-Marc Moret, Holger Reimerdes

The design of a snowflake (SF) equilibrium requires a strong effort on the poloidal field (PF) currents in terms of MAturns and mechanical loads. This has limited the maximum plasma current in SF configurations on Tokamak a Configuration Variable (TCV) to ...

Turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer

Paolo Ricci, Joaquim Loizu Cisquella, Sébastien Jolliet, Federico David Halpern, Annamaria Mosetto

We identify the turbulent regimes in the tokamak scrape-off layer as a function of plasma resistivity, electron to ion mass ratio, safety factor, and magnetic shear. We find that two main instabilities drive turbulence in the SOL: Drift Waves, with their r ...

Analysis of global hydromagnetic instabilities driven by strongly sheared toroidal flows in tokamak plasmas

Jonathan Graves

Recent numerical calculations have shown that while strong toroidal rotation can increase the external kink limit of tokamak plasmas, the associated rotation shear can drive a Kelvin-Helmholtz like global instability in the plasma, if the rotation frequenc ...

Indirect measurement of poloidal rotation using inboard–outboard asymmetry of toroidal rotation and comparison with neoclassical predictions

Olivier Sauter, Basil Duval, Alexander Karpushov, Yanis Andrebe, Yann Camenen, Alessandro Bortolon, Lucia Isabel Federspiel

An alternative experimental spectroscopic measurement of poloidal plasma rotation in toroidally confined plasmas is proven effective in the TCV tokamak. Charge exchange recombination measurements of the toroidal rotation profile over the full mid-plane pla ...

Observations on turbulence and beam-ion driven modes in TEXTOR

Stefano Coda, Mattia Albergante, Cornelis Adrianus de Meijere

At a sufficiently weak toroidal magnetic field, neutral beam injection heated, limited plasmas in the TEXTOR tokamak exhibit bursts of beam-ion driven 'fishbone' and Alfven modes, which are characterized for the first time using the multi-antenna reflectom ...
