Detachment dynamics and disturbance rejection in the TCV X-Point Target divertor
M. Winkel, K. Verhaegh, B. Kool +11
The X-Point Target divertor is an alternative divertor configuration with a secondary X-point in its divertor volume. In this work, we investigate the dynamic response and disturba…
Infrared Thermography in the Tokamak à Configuration Variable
M. Zurita, H. Reimerdes, C. Colandrea +9
In the Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV), infrared thermography (IR) is currently composed of the horizontal, vertical, and tangential infrared systems (HIR, VIR, TIR), which…
Real-time Tomography-based Bayesian Inference from TCV Bolometry Data
D. Hamm, C. Theiler, L. Simons +3
Radiated power information is crucial to diagnose and optimize the performance of fusion plasmas. Traditionally, at the TCV tokamak, radiated power analysis has only ever been poss…
Expulsion of runaway electrons using ECRH in the TCV tokamak
J. Decker, M. Hoppe, U. Sheikh +19
Runaway electrons (REs) are a concern for tokamak fusion reactors from discharge startup to termination. A sudden localized loss of a multi-megaampere RE beam can inflict severe da…
