PLASMA SHAPE AND FUELING DEPENDENCE ON THE SMALL ELMS REGIME IN TCV AND AUG

Benoît Labit, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Pedro Andres Molina Cabrera, Roberto Maurizio

A series of experiments has been conducted at AUG and TCV to disentangle the role of fueling, plasma triangularity and closeness to a double null (DN) configuration for the onset of the small ELM regime. At AUG, the role of the SOL density has been revisit ...

Real-time control of ELM and sawtooth frequencies: similarities and differences

Jonathan Graves

ELMs and Sawteeth, located in different parts of the plasma, are similar from a control engineering point of view. Both manifest themselves through quiescent periods interrupted by periodic collapses. For both, large collapses, following long quiescent per ...
