Self-consistent simulation of plasma scenarios for ITER using a combination of 1.5D transport codes and free-boundary equilibrium codes

V Parail, R Albanese, R Ambrosino +20

Self-consistent transport simulation of ITER scenarios is a very important tool for the exploration of the operational space and for scenario optimisation. It also provides an asse…

Characteristics of X-point Lobe Structures in Single-Null Discharges on MAST

J. R. Harrison, A. Kirk, I. T. Chapman +4

Lobe structures due to the application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) have been observed using wide-angle imaging of light from He1+ ions in the vicinity of the lower X-…

The effect of resonant magnetic perturbations on the divertor heat and particle fluxes in MAST

A. J. Thornton, A. Kirk, P. Cahyna +4

Edge localised modes (ELMs) are a concern for future devices, such as ITER, due to the large transient heat loads they generate on the divertor surfaces which could limit the opera…

Understanding ELM mitigation by resonant magnetic perturbations on MAST

A. Kirk, I. T. Chapman, Yueqiang Liu +11

Sustained ELM mitigation has been achieved using RMPs with a toroidal mode number of n=4 and n=6 in lower single null and with n=3 in connected double null plasmas on MAST. The ELM…

Time-resolved characterization of the formation of a collisionless shock

H Ahmed, ME Dieckmann, L Romagnani +11

We report on the temporally and spatially resolved detection of the precursory stages that lead to the formation of an unmagnetized, supercritical collision-less shock in a laser-d…

Ion acceleration by superintense laser-plasma interaction

Andrea Macchi, Marco Borghesi, Matteo Passoni

Ion acceleration driven by superintense laser pulses is attracting an impressive and steadily increasing effort. Motivations can be found in the potential for a number of foreseen…
