Experimental conditions to suppress edge localised modes by magnetic perturbations in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak

W. Suttrop, A. Kirk, V. Bobkov +9

Access conditions for full suppression of Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) by Magnetic Perturbations (MP) in low density high confinement mode (H-mode) plasmas are studied in the ASDEX…

Quiescence near the X-point of MAST measured by high speed visible imaging

N. R. Walkden, J. Harrison, S. A. Silburn +5

Using high speed imaging of the divertor volume, the region close to the X-point in MAST is shown to be quiescent. This is confirmed by three different analysis techniques and the…

Three dimensional boundary displacement due to stable ideal kink modes excited by external n=2 magnetic perturbations

M. Willensdorfer, E. Strumberger, W. Suttrop +15

In low-collisionality scenarios exhibiting mitigation of edge localized modes (ELMs), stable ideal kink modes at the edge are excited by externally applied magnetic perturbation (M…

Overview of recent physics results from MAST

A Kirk, J Adamek, RJ Akers +160

New results from MAST are presented that focus on validating models in order to extrapolate to future devices. Measurements during start-up experiments have shown how the bulk ion…

ELM control with RMP: plasma response models and the role of edge peeling response

Yueqiang Liu, C. J. Ham, A. Kirk +7

Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMP) have extensively been demonstrated as a plausible technique for mitigating or suppressing large edge localized modes (ELMs). Associated with t…

Plasma response measurements of external magnetic perturbations using electron cyclotron emission and comparisons to 3D ideal MHD equilibrium

M. Willensdorfer, S. S. Denk, E. Strumberger +16

The plasma response from an external n = 2 magnetic perturbation field in ASDEX Upgrade has been measured using mainly electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostics and a rigid rot…
