Impact of the new TCV baffled divertor upgrade on pedestal structure and performance

open access: yesNuclear Materials and Energy, 2021
A new set of carbon tiles, neutral beam heating optics and gas baffles were installed on TCV during the baffled divertor upgrade in early 2019. The installation of the baffles allows a deconvolution of the roles of main chamber and divertor neutral ...

Impact of shape and global β on ASDEX Upgrade pedestal structure [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
The stability and confinement of the pedestal, the outermost region of the confined plasma in a tokamak, are crucial for its efficient operation and performance.

Influence of n = 4 RMPs on pedestal structure and stability in EAST

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Changes of pedestal structure and stability caused by n = 4 resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) for control of Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) in the EAST tokamak in a target plasma close to the ITER high- Q scenario are studied in this paper.

Study of the effect of the pedestal density profiles on the pedestal structure in EAST

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Additional particle control methods, such as gas puffing, may lead to changes in the ratio between the separatrix electron density and the pedestal electron density ( $n_{\text{e}}^{{\text{sep}}}/n_{\text{e}}^{{\text{ped}}}$ ), and lead to the relative ...

Inter-ELM pedestal structure development in ASDEX Upgrade [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The performance of a magnetically confined, fusion plasma is strongly impacted by the plasma edge, which is the boundary between the hot, confined plasma and the reactor walls.

Global and pedestal confinement and pedestal structure in dimensionless collisionality scans of low-triangularity H-mode plasmas in JET-ILW [PDF]

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2017
A dimensionless collisionality scan in low-triangularity plasmas in the Joint European Torus with the ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) has been performed. The increase of the normalized energy confinement (defined as the ratio between thermal energy confinement ...

Prediction of the kinetic profiles in H-mode plasma discharges on EAST using core-pedestal coupling [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
The physical processes in tokamak plasma are strongly related to the coupling between the core and the pedestal. The accurate prediction of the kinetic profiles (electron temperature and density) from the pedestal to the core lays the physics basis for ...

Structure of the edge density pedestal in tokamaks

open access: yesPhysics of Plasmas, 2004
A 'first-principles ' model for the structure of the edge density pedestal in tokamaks between or in the absence of edge localized magnetohyrodynamic instabilities is derived from ion momentum and particle conservation and from the transport ...

Pedestal structure and energy confinement studies on TCV [PDF]

open access: yesPlasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2018
High external gas injection rates are foreseen for future devices to reduce divertor heat loads and this can influence pedestal stability. Fusion yield has been estimated to vary as strongly as T-e,ped(2) so an understanding of the underlying pedestal ...
