L-mode plasmas analyses and current ramp-up predictions for a JT-60SA hybrid scenario

In this work, L-mode analyses are performed in order to assess a modeling framework for the prediction of electron cyclotron resonant heating (ECRH) -assisted current ramp-up phases for JT-60SA tokamak hybrid scenario #4-2. We compare two turbulence transport models, CDBM and TGLF, using the integrated modeling code CRONOS. Model validation is performed on the basis of an L-mode ramp-up phase in a JET plasma, and a flat-top L-mode TCV (Tokamak a configuration variable) plasma with applied ECRH. Parameter scans in Zeff
