We demonstrate 2D reconstructions of the fast-ion velocity distribution from two-view fast-ion D-alpha (FIDA) measurements at the EAST tokamak. By expressing the distribution in a basis relying on the fast-ion slowing-down process in fusion plasmas, the ...

Requirements and modelling of fast particle injection in RFX-mod tokamak plasmas [PDF]
The planned upgrade of the RFX-mod device is a good opportunity to widen the operational space of the machine, in both RFP and tokamak configurations. Installation of a power neutral beam injector is also envisaged and a NB system compatible with RFX-mod,

Transport Simulasion in a Burning Tokamak Plasma [PDF]
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 ...

Observation of Alfvén Eigenmodes driven by off-axis neutral beam injection in the TCV tokamak
Fast-particle driven Alfvén Eigenmodes have been observed in low-collisionality discharges with off-axis neutral beam injection (NBI), electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and a reduced toroidal magnetic field.

Observations of Reduced Electron Gyroscale Fluctuations in National Spherical Torus Experiment H-Mode Plasmas with Large E X B Flow Shear [PDF]
Electron gyroscale fluctuation measurements in National Spherical Torus Experiment H-mode plasmas with large toroidal rotation reveal fluctuations consistent with electron temperature gradient (ETG) turbulence.

Analysis of equivalent impedance characteristics of a high power RF ion source driver
BackgroundThe ion source is one of the key components of the neutral beam injection system. Radio frequency (RF) ion source has the advantages of long life time, easy maintenance and long pules operation, which make it the main alternative source for the

TPX Neutral Beam injection system design [PDF]
The existing Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) Neutral Beam system is proposed to be modified for long pulse operation on the Tokamak Physics Experiment (TPX). Day one operation of TPX will call for one TFTR beamline modified for 1000 second pulse lengths oriented co-directional to the plasma current. The system design will be capable of accommodating

Edge momentum transport by neutrals: an interpretive numerical framework [PDF]
Due to their high cross-field mobility, neutrals can contribute to momentum transport even at the low relative densities found inside the separatrix and they can generate intrinsic rotation.

Thermodynamic simulation and structural optimization of the collimator in the drift duct of EAST-NBI
The collimator is one of the high-heat-flux components used to avoid a series of vacuum and thermal problems. In this paper, the heat load distribution throughout the collimator is first calculated through experimental data, and a transient thermodynamic

Turbulent transport of impurities and their effect on energy confinement [PDF]
By presenting linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic studies, based on a balanced neutral beam injection deuterium discharge from the DIII-D tokamak, we demonstrate that impurities alter the scaling of the transport on the charge and mass of the main species ...
