Overview of ST40 results and future: expanding the physics basis of high-field spherical tokamaks

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
The goal of the ST40 programme is to explore the physics of high-field spherical tokamaks (STs), to validate empirical and theoretical models and, hence, to build confidence in predictions required to support the design of future generations of STs. ST40

Turbulent equipartition pinch of toroidal momentum in spherical torus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We present a new analytic expression for turbulent equipartition (TEP) pinch of toroidal angular momentum originating from magnetic field inhomogeneity of spherical torus (ST) plasmas.

Modeling electron temperature profiles in the pedestal with simple formulas for ETG transport

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
This paper reports on the refinement (building on (Hatch D.R. et al 2022 Phys. Plasmas 29 062501)) and application of simple formulas for electron heat transport from electron temperature gradient (ETG) driven turbulence in the pedestal. The formulas are

Development of a data-driven neural network model for electron thermal transport in NSTX

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
A data-driven electron thermal transport neural network (ETT-NN) model, trained on TRANSP interpretative analysis results of National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX), was developed to enable faster and more accurate ETT computation for spherical ...

Testing of the SOLPS-ITER code at Globus-M2 spherical tokamak with detached divertor

open access: yesMATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
In according to a present understanding of Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) physics, future thermonuclear devices like ITER, DEMO and beyond, require high radiation regimes in order to reduce heat loads on tokamak divertor. Recent experiments at ASDEX Upgrade, JET

Breakdown of adiabatic invariance in spherical tokamaks [PDF]

open access: yesPhysics of Plasmas, 2001
Due to the weak but strongly varying magnetic field, fast ions in spherical tokamaks are susceptible to the breakdown of adiabatic invariance. Beam ions in present-day spherical tokamaks are typically marginally adiabatic or super-adiabatic. Super-adiabatic ions have energies in the intermediate range where the longitudinal invariant is still ...

Observation of stationary filaments with resonant magnetic perturbations in NSTX

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
The application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) induces striated heat fluxes on the divertor plate in tokamaks. These striated heat fluxes were previously considered strike point splitting by the intersection between the divertor and predicted ...

Microstability physics as illuminated in the spherical tokamak

open access: yesPlasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, 2005
Spherical tokamaks (STs) have attractive features for fusion, and there is considerable interest in understanding their transport properties which depend on the underlying microinstabilities. STs are capable of operation with low magnetic fields and exhibit large inhomogeneity in the toroidal magnetic field.

Fusion, tokamaks, and plasma control - An introduction and tutorial

open access: yes, 2005
The paper discusses the process behind fusion reaction, the magnetic confinement of plasma to sustain fusion reactions, different kinds of tokamaks used for the magnetic plasma confinement, the operation of tokamaks, and the control of tokamaks.

The formation of an radial edge electric field due to finite ion orbit width effects is the possible root cause of the H-mode edge

open access: yesNuclear Fusion
Full orbit-following simulations of thermal ions show that finite ion-orbit width effects create charge separation near the last closed flux surface (LCFS) which generates a localized radial electric field.
