Boundary plasma studies for a spherical tokamak with lithium walls

Nuclear Materials and Energy
Boundary plasma and plasma-material interactions are investigated for magnetised target fusion (MTF) applications. The General Fusion magnetised target fusion technology uses coaxial helicity injection (CHI) start-up which forms a spherical tokamak in a ...

Electron cyclotron current start-up using a retarding electric field in the QUEST spherical tokamak

Nuclear Fusion
The plasma current start-up experiment is conducted through electron cyclotron (EC) heating in the QUEST spherical tokamak. During the EC heating, the application of a toroidal electric field in the opposite direction to the plasma current effectively ...

Studies of various lower hybrid wave launch scenarios for non-inductive start-up on TST-2 [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Efficient non-inductive start-up of a spherical tokamak may be achieved by using lower hybrid waves that have high current drive efficiency. On the TST-2 spherical tokamak, three lower hybrid launchers are installed at the outer-midplane, top and outer ...

Achievement of ion temperatures in excess of 100 million degrees Kelvin in the compact high-field spherical tokamak ST40

Nuclear Fusion, 2023
Ion temperatures of over 100 million degrees Kelvin (8.6 keV) have been produced in the ST40 compact high-field spherical tokamak (ST). Ion temperatures in excess of 5 keV have not previously been reached in any ST and have only been obtained in much ...

Gyrokinetic simulations of spherical tokamaks [PDF]

Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2009
This paper reviews transport and confinement in spherical tokamaks (STs) and our current physics understanding of this that is partly based on gyrokinetic simulations. Equilibrium flow shear plays an important role, and we show how this is consistently included in the gyrokinetic framework for flows that greatly exceed the diamagnetic velocity. The key
