Plasma State Monitoring and Disruption Characterization using Multimodal VAEs
Yoeri Poels, Alessandro Pau, Christian Donner +6
When a plasma disrupts in a tokamak, significant heat and electromagnetic loads are deposited onto the surrounding device components. These forces scale with plasma current and mag…

Robust Confinement State Classification with Uncertainty Quantification through Ensembled Data-Driven Methods
Yoeri Poels, Cristina Venturini, Alessandro Pau +4
Maximizing fusion performance in tokamaks relies on high energy confinement, often achieved through distinct operating regimes. The automated labeling of these confinement states i…

Learning Plasma Dynamics and Robust Rampdown Trajectories with Predict-First Experiments at TCV
Allen M. Wang, Alessandro Pau, Cristina Rea +12
The rampdown phase of a tokamak pulse is difficult to simulate and often exacerbates multiple plasma instabilities. To reduce the risk of disrupting operations, we leverage advance…
