Empirical impact of near-separatrix plasma and neutral transport on the pedestal in the transition between EDA and ELMy H-modes on Alcator C-Mod

M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, S. Saarelma +16

The transition between the ELMy H-mode and the EDA H-mode is studied on Alcator C-Mod using an experimental database and predictive pedestal models. High-resolution Thomson scatter…

High-resolution disruption halo current measurements using Langmuir probes in Alcator C-Mod

RA Tinguely, RS Granetz, A Berg +3

Halo currents generated during disruptions on Alcator C-Mod have been measured with Langmuir "rail" probes. These rail probes are embedded in a lower outboard divertor module in a…

Universality of Poisson-driven plasma fluctuations in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer

A. Theodorsen, O. E. Garcia, R. Kube +2

Large-amplitude, intermittent fluctuations are ubiquitous in the boundary region of magnetically confined plasmas and lead to detrimental plasma-wall interactions in the next-gener…

Relationship between frequency power spectra and intermittent, large-amplitude bursts in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer

A. Theodorsen, O. E. Garcia, R. Kube +2

Fluctuations in the boundary region of the Alcator C-Mod tokamak have been analyzed using gas puff imaging data from a set of Ohmically heated plasma density scan experiments. It i…

Gyrokinetic projection of the divertor heat-flux width from present tokamaks to ITER

C. S. Chang, S. Ku, A. Loarte +11

The XGC1 edge gyrokinetic code is used for a high fidelity prediction for the width of the heat-flux to divertor plates in attached plasma condition. The simulation results are val…

Kinetic modeling of divertor heat load fluxes in the Alcator C-Mod and DIII-D tokamaks

A. Y. Pankin, T. Rafiq, A. H. Kritz +8

The guiding-center kinetic neoclassical transport code, XGC0, [C.S. Chang et. al, Phys. Plasmas 11, 2649 (2004)] is used to compute the heat fluxes and the heat-load width in the o…

Fluctuation statistics in the scrape-off layer of Alcator C-Mod

Ralph Kube, Odd Erik Garcia, Audun Theodorsen +2

We study long time series of the ion saturation current and floating potential, sampled by Langmuir probes dwelled in the outboard mid-plane scrape off layer and embedded in the lo…
