The FLARE Facility

Hantao Ji, Jongsoo Yoo, Peiyun Shi +53

The Facility for Laboratory Reconnection Experiments (FLARE) has been constructed to study magnetic reconnection in multiple X-line regimes relevant to space, astrophysical, and fu…

A novel Doppler backscattering (DBS) system to simultaneously monitor radio frequency plasma fluctuations and low frequency turbulence

S. Chowdhury, N. A. Crocker, W. A. Peebles +6

A novel quadrature Doppler Backscattering (DBS) system has been developed and optimized for the E-band (60-90GHz) frequency range using either O-mode or X-mode polarization in DIII…

Effect of mismatch on Doppler backscattering in MAST and MAST-U plasmas

Valerian H. Hall-Chen, Felix I. Parra, Jon C. Hillesheim +14

The Doppler backscattering (DBS) diagnostic, also referred to as Doppler reflectometry, measures turbulent density fluctuations of intermediate length scales. However, when the bea…

Validating and optimising mismatch tolerance of Doppler backscattering measurements with the beam model

Valerian H. Hall-Chen, Julius Damba, Felix I. Parra +11

We use the beam model of Doppler backscattering (DBS), which was previously derived from beam tracing and the reciprocity theorem, to shed light on mismatch attenuation. This atten…

Analytic stability boundaries for compressional and global Alfvén eigenmodes driven by fast ions. II. Interaction via Landau resonance

J. B. Lestz, N. N. Gorelenkov, E. V. Belova +2

Conditions for net fast ion drive are derived for beam-driven, co-propagating, sub-cyclotron compressional (CAE) and global (GAE) Alfvén eigenmodes driven by the Landau resonance w…

Analytic stability boundaries for compressional and global Alfvén eigenmodes driven by fast ions. I. Interaction via ordinary and anomalous cyclotron resonances

J. B. Lestz, N. N. Gorelenkov, E. V. Belova +2

Conditions for net fast ion drive are derived for beam-driven, sub-cyclotron compressional (CAE) and global (GAE) Alfvén eigenmodes, such as those routinely observed in spherical t…

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…
