The Negative Triangularity Tokamak Path for Fusion Pilot Plants: Experimental Progress and Future Prospects
K. E. Thome, M. E. Austin, S. Coda +8
This paper reviews the experimental progress of negative triangularity (NT), a tokamak configuration where the poloidal cross-section is a reversed-D shape compared to the conventi…
First divertor exposure experiments of a renewable boron pebble aggregate in DIII-D
Erick Martinez-Loran, Angelica Ottaviano, Santhosh T. A. Kumar +21
Boron pebble aggregate was tested for the first time as a high-heat-flux granular plasma-facing material in a tokamak divertor. Exposures of up to $q_{\parallel} = \SI{80}{\MW\per\…
Compact Experimental Negative TriAngUlarity Reactor (CENTAUR): A design study for a compact, affordable breakeven tokamak
The CENTAUR Collaboration, Samuel W. Freiberger, Evan Bursch +33
This work presents the compact experimental negative triangularity reactor (CENTAUR), a low overnight cost, high-field tokamak, breakeven reactor design, achieving a predicted tota…
Non-dimensional confinement scaling in similar negative triangularity plasmas on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks
A. Marinoni, C. Chrystal, S. Coda +25
Similarity experiments were performed on the DIII-D and TCV tokamaks to explore the scaling of energy confinement in negative triangularity plasmas using non-dimensional variables.…
Divertor Detachment Characterization in Negative Triangularity Discharges in DIII-D via 2D Edge-Plasma Transport Modeling
Menglong Zhao, Filippo Scotti, Thomas Rognlien +6
Edge fluid modeling of the first divertor-plasma detachment experiments in negative triangularity discharges on DIII-D is presented using the 2D multi-fluid code UEDGE, including c…
Operation above the Greenwald density limit in high performance DIII-D negative triangularity discharges
O Sauter, R. Hong, A. Marinoni +9
The density limit in strongly-shaped negative triangularity (NT) discharges is studied experimentally in the DIII-D tokamak. Record-high Greenwald fractions are obtained, usi…
Achievement of highly radiating plasma in negative triangularity and effect of reactor-relevant seeded impurities on confinement and transport
L. Casali, D. Eldon, T. Odstrcil +10
The first achievement of highly radiating plasmas in negative triangularity is shown with an operational space featuring high core radiation at high Greenwald fraction obtained wit…
Simultaneous access to high normalized current, pressure, density, and confinement in strongly-shaped diverted negative triangularity plasmas
C. Paz-Soldan, C. Chrystal, P. Lunia +12
Strongly-shaped diverted negative triangularity (NT) plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak demonstrate simultaneous access to high normalized current, pressure, density, and confinement. N…
