Overview of the MAST Upgrade physics programme: testing novel concepts at low aspect ratio to inform future devices

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
The research programme performed on the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST) Upgrade experiment has made significant advances in developing the physics understanding of low aspect ratio tokamaks in support of the operation of ITER and design of fusion ...

A h‐Adaptivity Strategy for Hybridizable Discontinuous Galerkin (HDG) Simulations of Fluid Transport Models in Tokamak Plasma

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 17, 15 September 2025.
ABSTRACT The highly anisotropic, multi‐scale nature of fusion plasma simulations in tokamaks, combined with the complexity in the geometries of plasma‐facing components and magnetic equilibrium, challenges numerical schemes. They therefore require the development of advanced numerical techniques to enhance computational efficiency and enable codes to ...

Profile control for an Alternative Spherical Tokamak

open access: yes, 1996
Magnetically driven plasma guns that are inserted around a flux conserver at definite angular intervals are considered. The creation and the control of plasma channels are examined.

Measurements of Auroral Plasma Properties Using Low‐Cost, Mobile, Ground‐Based Detectors

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 12, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract An expedition to Fairbanks, AK, was undertaken to study the aurora during the peak of solar cycle 25. Low‐cost diagnostics were developed to enable ground‐based measurements of ionospheric plasma parameters and auroral phenomena, namely a compact spectrometer and a high‐resolution all‐sky camera with 2‐axis magnetometer. Observations were made

Computation of Three Dimensional Tokamak and Spherical Torus Equilibria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
A nominally axisymmetric plasma con guration, such as a tokamak or a spherical torus, is highly sensitive to non-axisymmetric magnetic perturbations due to currents outside of the plasma.

Spectroscopic Measurement of Hydrogen Atom Density in a Plasma Produced with 28 GHz ECH in QUEST

open access: yesAtoms, 2020
The spatial distribution of the hydrogen atom density was evaluated in a spherical tokamak (ST) plasma sustained only with 28 GHz electron cyclotron heating (ECH). The radially resolved Hδ emissivity was measured using multiple viewing chord spectroscopy

Fast and Invertible Simplicial Approximation of Magnetic‐Following Interpolation for Visualizing Fusion Plasma Simulation Data

open access: yesComputer Graphics Forum, Volume 44, Issue 3, June 2025.
Abstract We introduce a fast and invertible approximation for fusion plasma simulation data represented as 2D planar meshes with connectivities approximating magnetic field lines along the toroidal dimension in deformed 3D toroidal spaces. Scientific variables (e.g., density and temperature) in these fusion data are interpolated following a complex ...

Fully non-inductive plasma start-up with lower-hybrid waves using the outboard-launch and top-launch antennas on the TST-2 spherical tokamak

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Removal of the central solenoid is essential to realize an economical spherical tokamak fusion reactor, but non-inductive plasma start-up is a challenge. On the TST-2 spherical tokamak, non-inductive plasma start-up using lower-hybrid (LH) waves has been

Self‐Organized Growth of Catalyst‐Free Single Crystal WnO3n‐2 (n = 25) Nanowire Bundles on Si (111) via Selective He+ Ion Irradiation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 10, May 19, 2025.
A novel and efficient method is explored to synthesize 1D single‐crystal sub‐stoichiometric WnO3n‐2 (n = 25) nanowire bundles. The approach utilizes selective low‐energy He+ ion irradiation (27 eV) on Mo‐Ni doped WOx surface, achieving efficient catalyst‐free self‐organized growth of high aspect ratio nanowires at the temperature of 700 °C.

Beam ion driven instabilities in the National Spherical Tokamak Experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Low and high frequency beam ion driven instabilities in the National Spherical Tokamak Experiment (NSTX) plasma were analyzed. Low frequency magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) activities in ∼100 kHz frequency range on NSTX were often observed and identified as ...
