Polaris: a flexible stellarator demonstration experiment with simple modular coils
Simon P. H. Vincent, Joaquim Loizu, Matthieu Toussaint +14
We present the design, construction, and first plasma experiments of Polaris, a new small-scale stellarator experiment (major radius R ~ 0.4 m) located at the Swiss Plasma Center.…
A birdcage resonant antenna for helicon wave generation in TORPEX
Simon Vincent, Philippe Guittienne, Patrick Quigley +6
A birdcage resonant helicon antenna is designed, mounted and tested in the toroidal device TORPEX. The birdcage resonant antenna is an alternative to the usual Boswell or half-heli…
Numerical and experimental investigations of a microwave interferometer for the negative ion source SPIDER
R. Agnello, R. Cavazzana, I. Furno +4
The electron density close to the extraction grids and the co-extracted electrons represent a crucial issue when operating negative ion sources for fusion reactors. An excessive el…
Experimental study of extended timescale dynamics of a plasma wakefield driven by a self-modulated proton bunch
J. Chappell, E. Adli, R. Agnello +96
Plasma wakefield dynamics over timescales up to 800 ps, approximately 100 plasma periods, are studied experimentally at the Advanced Wakefield Experiment (AWAKE). The development o…
Proton beam defocusing in AWAKE: comparison of simulations and measurements
A. A. Gorn, M. Turner, E. Adli +96
In 2017, AWAKE demonstrated the seeded self-modulation (SSM) of a 400 GeV proton beam from the Super Proton Synchrotron (SPS) at CERN. The angular distribution of the protons defle…
Proton Bunch Self-Modulation in Plasma with Density Gradient
F. Braunmüller, T. Nechaeva, AWAKE Collboration
We study experimentally the effect of linear plasma density gradients on the self-modulation of a 400\,GeV proton bunch. Results show that a positive/negative gradient in/decreases…
Experimental Study of Wakefields Driven by a Self-Modulating Proton Bunch in Plasma
M. Turner, P. Muggli, the AWAKE Collaboration
We study experimentally the longitudinal and transverse wakefields driven by a highly relativistic proton bunch during self-modulation in plasma. We show that the wakefields' growt…
R&D around a photoneutralizer-based NBI system (Siphore) in view of a DEMO Tokamak steady state fusion reactor
A. Simonin, Jocelyn Achard, K. Achkasov +28
Since the signature of the ITER treaty in 2006, a new research programme targeting the emergence of a new generation of Neutral Beam (NB) system for the future fusion reactor (DEMO…
