Non-linear extended MHD simulations of type-I edge localised mode cycles in ASDEX Upgrade and their underlying triggering mechanism [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2020
A triggering mechanism responsible for the explosive onset of edge localised modes (ELMs) in fusion plasmas is identified by performing, for the first time, non-linear magnetohydrodynamic simulations of repetitive type-I ELMs.

Surface loss probabilities of boron-hydride radicals in W7-X and ASDEX Upgrade

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy
The surface loss probabilities of boron-hydride radicals on silicon surfaces have been measured during boronisations for wall conditioning in the stellarator W7-X and the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade using the cavity technique.

Investigation of probe surfaces after ion cyclotron wall conditioning in ASDEX upgrade

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2017
For the first time, material analysis techniques have been applied to study the effect of ion cyclotron wall conditioning (ICWC) on probe surfaces in a metal-wall machine.

Arc behaviour on different materials in ASDEX Upgrade

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2021
Arcs, a source of dust particles and a localized erosion mechanism of the plasma-facing components, are found in all major fusion plasma devices. Measurements of arcs require diagnostics with high temporal and local resolution, which are not available at

Overview of the isotope effects in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak

open access: yesPlasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2021
In recent years, measurements on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak and modelling performed for plasmas with hydrogen (H) and deuterium (D) as the main gas have improved our understanding of the ion mass dependencies in fusion plasmas.

Benign termination of runaway electron beams on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV

open access: yesPlasma Physics and Controlled Fusion
This paper discusses the development of a benign termination scenario for runaway electron (RE) beams on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV. A systematic study revealed that a low electron density (n e) companion plasma was required to achieve a large MHD instability,

New boronization system at ASDEX Upgrade

open access: yes, 2021
The coating of plasma facing components (PFC) with boron significantly improves the performance of plasma operation in magnetic fusion devices. The boron layer traps residual oxygen in the vacuum vessel, thus reducing radiative losses due to collisions ...

Overview of physics studies on ASDEX Upgrade [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2019
Abstract The ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) programme, jointly run with the EUROfusion MST1 task force, continues to significantly enhance the physics base of ITER and DEMO. Here, the full tungsten wall is a key asset for extrapolating to future devices.

The quasi-continuous exhaust regime in ASDEX Upgrade and JET

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy
The quasi-continuous exhaust (QCE) regime is a type-I ELM-free high confinement regime obtained at high plasma shaping and high separatrix density. A comparison with various ELM-free regimes in the literature is presented together with potential physics ...

Inter-discharge optimization for fast, reliable access to ASDEX Upgrade advanced tokamak scenario

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Rapid inter-discharge simulation and optimization using the RAPTOR code have allowed the development of a reliable and reproducible early heating strategy for an advanced tokamak (AT) scenario on ASDEX Upgrade.
