Overview of the FTU results

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Holger Reimerdes, Jonathan Rossel, Alexander Karpushov, Duccio Testa, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Dávid Wágner, Gabriele Grosso, Doohyun Kim, Cristian Galperti, Donghyun Kim

Since the 2012 IAEA-FEC Conference, FTU operations have been largely devoted to runaway electrons generation and control, to the exploitation of the 140 GHz electron cyclotron (EC) system and to liquid metal limiter elements. Experiments on runaway electro ...

Effects of central electron cyclotron power on plasma rotation and on triggerless onset of NTMs in the TCV tokamak

Basil Duval, Olivier Sauter, Holger Reimerdes, Jonathan Rossel, Alexander Karpushov, Duccio Testa, Lucia Isabel Federspiel, Dávid Wágner, Doohyun Kim, Donghyun Kim

Experiments on the TCV tokamak show that high power central electron cyclotron heating (ECH) and current drive (ECCD) produce significant direct modification of the plasma rotation profile, as well as the effect on the equilibrium current density. These ef ...

Real-time control of the period of individual ELMs by EC power on TCV

Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Rossel, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici

The period of individual type-I edge-localized modes (ELMs) in TCV H-mode plasmas is controlled by real-time controlled application of electron cyclotron (EC) power close to the plasma pedestal. An ELM pacing algorithm, closely related to sawtooth pacing [ ...

Edge Localized Mode Control in TCV

Jonathan Rossel

The Tokamak concept, based on magnetic confinement of a hydrogen plasma, is one of today's most promising paths to energy production by nuclear fusion. The experimental scenarios leading to the largest fusion rate are based on a high confinement plasma reg ...

Integrated real-time control of MHD instabilities using multi-beam ECRH/ECCD systems on TCV

Basil Duval, Timothy Goodman, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Rossel, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici

Simultaneous real-time control of multiple MHD instabilities is experimentally demonstrated in the TCV tokamak. Multiple sources of EC heating and current drive, injected through real-time controlled launchers, are used to stabilize 3/2 and 2/1 neoclassica ...

Bifurcated Helical Core Equilibrium States in Tokamaks

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Basil Duval, Antoine Pochelon, Olivier Sauter, Holger Reimerdes, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Rossel, Jonathan Graves, Benoît Labit, David Pfefferlé, Mattia Albergante, Federico David Halpern, Daniele Brunetti

Tokamaks with weak to moderate reversed central shear in which the minimum rotational transform

q_{min}

is in the neighbourhood of unity can trigger bifurcated MagnetoHydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium states, one of which is similar to a saturated ideal ...

Edge-localized mode control by electron cyclotron waves in a tokamak plasma

Timothy Goodman, Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Olivier Sauter, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Rossel, Duccio Testa, Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici

Electron cyclotron resonance heating is applied to the edge of a high-confinement (H-mode) plasma featuring type I edge-localized modes (ELMs) in the TCV tokamak. As the deposition location is shifted gradually in a highly controlled manner towards the pla ...

Helical core tokamak MHD equilibrium states

Wilfred Anthony Cooper, Basil Duval, Antoine Pochelon, Olivier Sauter, Holger Reimerdes, Stefano Coda, Jonathan Rossel, Jonathan Graves, Benoît Labit, Mattia Albergante

Bifurcated magnetohydrodynamic tokamak equilibrium states with axisymmetric or helical core structure are computed. When a peaked pressure profile is chosen, the helical core structures appear like the {em snakes} that are observed in the JET tokamak. They ...

Physics design of a saddle coil system for TCV

Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Jonathan Rossel

The upgrade project for TCV (Tokamak à Configuration Variable) includes the installation of a set of saddle coils, namely the saddle coil system (SCS), located and powered such as to create a helical magnetic perturbation. Using independent power supplies, ...

Measurement of the magnetic field errors on TCV

Jean-Marc Moret, Jonathan Rossel, Francesco Piras

A set of 24 saddle loops is used on the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) to measure the radial magnetic flux at different toroidal and vertical positions. The new system is calibrated together with the standard magnetic diagnostics on TCV. Based on t ...

A 3D multi-mode geometry-independent RMP optimization method and its application to TCV

Yves Martin, Jean-Marc Moret, Jonathan Rossel

Resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) and error field correction (EFC) produced by toroidally and poloidally distributed coil systems can be optimized if each coil is powered with an independent power supply. A 3D multi-mode geometry-independent Lagrange me ...
