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…
