Quasi-monoenergetic Deuteron Acceleration via Boosted Coulomb Explosion by Reflected Picosecond Laser Pulse

Tianyun Wei, Zechen Lan, Yasunobu Arikawa +11

Generation of quasi-monoenergetic ions by intense laser is one of long-standing goals in laser-plasma physics. However, existing laser-driven ion acceleration schemes often produce…

Fast physics-based launcher optimization for electron cyclotron current drive

N A Lopez, A Alieva, S A M McNamara +1

With the increased urgency to design fusion pilot plants, fast optimization of electron cyclotron current drive (ECCD) launchers is paramount. Traditionally, this is done by coarse…

Inferring the scrape-off layer heat flux width in a divertor with a low degree of axisymmetry

C. Marsden, X. Zhang, M. Moscheni +7

Plasma facing components (PFCs) in the next generation of tokamak devices will operate in challenging environments, with heat loads predicted to exceed 10 MWm. The magnitude…

Experimental observations of bifurcated power decay lengths in the near Scrape-Off Layer of tokamak plasmas

X Zhang, C Marsden, M Moscheni +14

The scrape-off layer parallel heat flux decay lengths measured at ST40, a high field, low aspect ratio spherical tokamak, have been observed to bifurcate into two groups. The wide…

Kinetic simulations of X-B and O-X-B mode conversion and its deterioration at high input power

A. V. Arefiev, I. Y. Dodin, A. Köhn +4

Spherical tokamak plasmas are typically overdense and thus inaccessible to externally-injected microwaves in the electron cyclotron range. The electrostatic electron Bernstein wave…
