Breakdown of adiabatic invariance in spherical tokamaks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
Thermal ions in spherical tokamaks have two adiabatic invariants: the magnetic moment and the longitudinal invariant. For hot ions, variations in magnetic-field strength over a gyro period can become sufficiently large to cause breakdown of the adiabatic

The single crystal diamond-based diagnostic suite of the JET tokamak for 14 MeV neutron counting and spectroscopy measurements in DT plasmas

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
The Joint European Torus (JET) has recently conducted its second deuterium–tritium (DT) experimental campaign DTE2, providing unique opportunity for studying both physics and engineering aspects of nuclear fusion plasmas.

Intrinsic rotation in tokamaks: theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Self-consistent equations for intrinsic rotation in tokamaks with small poloidal magnetic field $B_p$ compared to the total magnetic field $B$ are derived.

Hierarchical Cascade Control Systems for Time-Dependent Dynamical Plants as Applied to Magnetic Plasma Control in D-Shaped Tokamaks

open access: yesEngineering Proceedings, 2023
The systems of poloidal field coils in D-shaped Tokamaks such as ITER, EAST, JET, ASDEX Upgrade, TCV, GLOBUS-M2, DIII-D, SPARC, IGNITOR, JT-60SA, DEMO-9.1, DEMO-1.6, T-15MD, and TRT are analyzed for their efficiency in the application of plasma position,

Mid Century Carbon Free Sustainable Energy Development Based on Fusion Breeding

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2018
Fusion has often been billed as the ultimate 21st century sustainable energy source. However, not only is the pace of the program glacially slow, it seems to recede further and further into the future.

On non existence of tokamak equilibria with purely poloidal flow [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
It is proved that irrespective of compressibility tokamak steady states with purely poloidal mass flow can not exist in the framework of either magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) or Hall MHD models.

Generalization of cylindrical spheromak solution to finite beta and large reversed shear [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
The well-known analytic solution for a spheromak in a cylindrical flux conserver is generalized to the situation of finite beta with the shape of the flux conserver now being a dependent quantity.

Impact of β n and spectrum of n = 1 applied fields on fast ion losses in DIII-D

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
The effect of n = 1 magnetic perturbations (MPs) on prompt fast ion losses in DIII-D has been investigated using the light ion beam probe technique.

Broadening of microwave heating beams in the DIII-D tokamak by edge turbulence

open access: yesNuclear Fusion, 2023
We have demonstrated for the first time that turbulent plasma density fluctuations in the edge of the DIII-D tokamak are responsible for substantial broadening of an injected microwave beam by successful quantitative comparison between experimental ...
