Experimental study of electron cyclotron heating assisted start-up on J-TEXT

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
Second harmonic X-mode (X2 mode) electron cyclotron heating (ECH) assisted start-up has been studied experimentally on the J-TEXT device to determine the minimum ECH power requirements to assist breakdown and develop a better physical description of the ...

I-mode studies at ASDEX Upgrade: L-I and I-H transitions, pedestal and confinement properties [PDF]

, 2016
The I-mode is a plasma regime obtained when the usual L-H power threshold is high, e.g. with unfavourable ion B ∇ direction. It is characterised by the development of a temperature pedestal while the density remains roughly as in the L-mode ...

Physics of magnetic confinement fusion [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2013
Fusion is the energy source of the universe. The local conditions in the core of the Sun allow the transfer of mass into energy, which is finally released in the form of radiation. Technical fusion melts deuterons and tritons to helium releasing large amounts of energy per fusion process. Because of the conditions for fusion, which will be deduced, the

High Energy Electron Confinement in a Magnetic Cusp Configuration

, 2014
We report experimental results validating the concept that plasma confinement is enhanced in a magnetic cusp configuration when beta (plasma pressure/magnetic field pressure) is order of unity.

Fusion, magnetic confinement [PDF]

, 1992
An overview is presented of the principles of magnetic confinement of plasmas for the purpose of achieving controlled fusion conditions. Sec. 1 discusses the different nuclear fusion reactions which can be exploited in prospective fusion reactors and explains why special technologies need to be developed for the supply of tritium or {sup 3}He, the ...

Collisional-Radiative Model for the visible spectrum of $W^{26+}$ ions

, 2015
Plasma diagnostics in magnetic confinement fusion plasmas by using visible spectrum strongly depends on the knowledge of fundamental atomic properties. A detailed collisional-radiative model of W$^{26+}$ ions has been constructed by considering radiative

Overview of the JET results in support to ITER [PDF]

, 2017
The 2014–2016 JET results are reviewed in the light of their significance for optimising the ITER research plan for the active and non-active operation. More than 60 h of plasma operation with ITER first wall materials successfully took place since its

Transport Simulasion in a Burning Tokamak Plasma [PDF]

, 1992
A one-dimensional tokamak transport code (TASK/TR) has been developed to analyze the evolution of a burning plasma accompanied with fusion reaction. This code deals with the electrons, deuterons, tritons, thermalized α particles, fast α particles and ...

WEST: Impact of wall conditions on impurity sources and core contamination for various plasma shapes*

Nuclear Materials and Energy
WEST’s unique characteristics with nearly all tungsten (W) PFCs offer an ideal platform to study plasma operations and plasma scenario development for long-pulsed, actively cooled, nearly all W-PFC tokamaks [1]. W erosion/redeposition of the PFCs and the

Calorimetry measurement for energy balance and energy distribution in WEST for L-mode plasmas

Nuclear Fusion
This paper presents the energy balance of 602 pulses from four different experimental campaigns for the WEST tokamak. Different magnetic configurations have been studied, with lower single null (LSN) and upper single null (USN) configuration with ...
