Serpent neutronics model of Wendelstein 7-X for 14.1 MeV neutrons
Simppa Äkäslompolo, Jan Paul Koschinsky, Joona Kontula +8
In this work, a Serpent 2 neutronics model of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator is prepared, and an response function for the Scintillating-Fibre neutron detector (SciFi) is c…
ASCOT simulations of 14 MeV neutron rates in W7-X: effect of magnetic configuration
Joona Kontula, Jan Paul Koschinsky, Simppa Äkäslompolo +2
Neutron production rates in fusion devices are determined not only by the kinetic profiles but also the fast ion slowing-down distributions. In this work, we investigate the effect…
High-performance orbit-following code ASCOT5 for Monte Carlo simulations in fusion plasmas
Jari Varje, Konsta Särkimäki, Joona Kontula +5
We present a novel implementation of a Monte Carlo particle-following code for solving the distribution function of minority species in fusion plasmas, called ASCOT5, and verify it…
Validating the ASCOT modelling of NBI fast ions in Wendelstein 7-X stellarator
S. Äkäslompolo, P. Drewelow, Y. Gao +37
The first fast ion experiments in Wendelstein 7-X were performed in 2018. They are one of the first steps in demonstrating the optimised fast ion confinement of the stellarator. Th…
