Impact of energetic alpha particles on core turbulence in an ARC-class fusion power plant
J. Hall, N. T Howard, P. Rodriguez-Fernandez +7
In this work, we investigate the impact of fusion-born alpha particles on core turbulence and transport in the ARC tokamak fusion power plant using linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic…

Impurity peaking of SPARC H-modes: a sensitivity study on physics and engineering assumptions
Marco Muraca, Pablo Rodriguez-Fernandez, Joe Hall +5
In this paper, an overview of the impurity transport for three H-mode plasmas in the upcoming SPARC tokamak has been provided. The simulations have been performed within the ASTRA+…
