Design of a Thomson scattering diagnostic for the SMART tokamak
M. Kaur, A. Diallo, B. LeBlanc +8
We describe the design of a Thomson scattering (TS) diagnostic to be used on the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART). SMART is a spherical tokamak being commissioned in Spain that a…
Simultaneous measurements of unstable and stable Alfvén Eigenmodes in JET
R. A. Tinguely, J. Gonzalez-Martin, P. G. Puglia +13
In this paper, we report the novel experimental observation of both unstable and stable Toroidicity-induced Alfvén Eigenmodes (TAEs) measured simultaneously in a JET tokamak plasma…
Thermal ion kinetic effects and Landau damping in fishbone modes
Chang Liu, Stephen C. Jardin, Jian Bao +4
The kinetic-MHD hybrid simulation approach for macroscopic instabilities in plasmas can be extended to include the kinetic effects of both thermal ions and energetic ions. The new…
Reduced Physics Model of the Tokamak Scrape-off-Layer for Pulse Design
X. Zhang, F. M. Poli, E. D. Emdee +1
The dynamic interplay between the core and the edge plasma has important consequences in the confinement and heating of fusion plasma. The transport of the Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) p…
The hidden uncertainties in particle balance calculations and their implications for assessment of plasma performance
A. A. Teplukhina, F. M. Poli, M. Podesta +6
Predictive simulations of mixed plasma discharges, like deuterium-tritium plasmas, rely on self-consistent models for particle transport. These models have to be validated with int…
Machine learning characterisation of Alfvénic and sub-Alfvénic chirping and correlation with fast ion loss at NSTX
Benjamin J. Q. Woods, Vinícius N. Duarte, Eric D. Fredrickson +3
Abrupt large events in the Alfvénic and sub-Alfvénic frequency bands in tokamaks are typically correlated with increased fast ion loss. Here, machine learning is used to speed up t…
Resonance line broadened quasilinear (RBQ) model for fast ion distribution relaxation due to Alfvénic eigenmodes
Nikolai Gorelenkov, Vinicius Duarte, Mario Podesta +1
The burning plasma performance is limited by the confinement of the superalfvenic fusion products such as alpha particles and the auxiliary heating ions capable of exciting the Alf…
Study of the likelihood of Alfvénic mode bifurcation in NSTX and predictions for ITER baseline scenarios
Vinicius Duarte, Nikolai Gorelenkov, Mirjam Schneller +3
Rare Alfvénic wave transitions between fixed-frequency and chirping phases are identified in NSTX, where Alfvénic waves are normally observed to exhibit either chirping or avalanch…
Onset of nonlinear structures due to eigenmode destabilization in tokamak plasmas
Vinicius Duarte, Herbert Berk, Nikolai Gorelenkov +5
A general methodology is proposed to differentiate the likelihood of energetic-particle-driven instabilities to produce frequency chirping or fixed-frequency oscillations. The meth…
