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…

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…
