Study of Aspect Ratio Effects on Kinetic MHD Instabilities in NSTX and DIII-D [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
We report general observations of kinetic instabilities on the low aspect-ratio National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) and describe explicit aspect ratio scaling studies of kinetic instabilities using both the NSTX and the DIII-D tokamak.

Numerical assessment of the impact of the guiding-centre approximation on fast ion simulations in NSTX

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Guiding-centre (GC) and full-orbit (FO) simulations of the beam-injected fast ion distribution and the corresponding neutron emissivity have been carried out for magnetohydrodynamics-quiescent National Spherical Torus eXperiment (NSTX) plasmas, using a ...

EBW Physics of ECE in NSTX [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Topics covered include: ray tracing and Fokker-Planck coupling; relativistic and electromagnetic effects in EBW damping (ray-tracing); O-X-EBW mode conversion efficiency limit due to finite beam divergence; general prospects for electron Bernstein wave heating and current drive in spherical tokamaks; sensitivity of EBW HC collisional effects on EBW ...

Precision metrology of NSTX surfaces using coherent laser radar ranging [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
A frequency modulated Coherent Laser Radar ranging diagnostic is being used on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) for precision metrology. The distance (range) between the 1.5 {micro}m laser source and the target is measured by the shift in ...

The Relationships Between ELM Suppression, Pedestal Profiles, and Lithium Wall Coatings in NSTX

open access: yes, 2012
Recently in the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX), increasing lithium wall coatings suppressed edge localized modes (ELMs), gradually but not quite monotonically.

Edge Turbulence Velocity Changes with Lithium Coating on NSTX

open access: yes, 2012
Lithium coating improves energy confinement and eliminates edge localized modes in NSTX, but the mechanism of this improvement is not yet well understood.

Initial Results from Coaxial Helicity Injection Experiments in NSTX [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Coaxial Helicity Injection (CHI) has been investigated on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX). Initial experiments produced 130 kA of toroidal current without the use of the central solenoid.
