Overview of Enhanced D-alpha and Quasi Continuous Exhaust H-modes at DIII-D
N. Leuthold, Z. Li, M. Faitsch +19
We review the Enhanced D-alpha (EDA) and Quasi-continuous Exhaust (QCE) H-modes that have recently been achieved in the DIII-D tokamak. These scenarios are free of large type-I edg…
Assessing the effect of error field penetration during plasma current ramp-up in the DIII-D tokamak
C. F. B. Zimmermann, E. M. Bursch, C. Paz-Soldan +4
This work provides evidence that established error field penetration threshold scalings remain applicable during plasma current ramp-up. In dedicated DIII-D experiments with impose…
Dependence of Momentum Transport on the Dominant Turbulence Regime in the DIII-D Tokamak
C. F. B. Zimmermann, C. Chrystal, E. Perez +8
Accurate prediction of toroidal plasma rotation is essential for optimizing confinement and stability in future fusion devices. This work investigates turbulent core momentum trans…
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…
Effects of Tungsten Radiative Cooling on Impurity, Heat and Momentum Transport in DIII-D Plasmas
A. Tema Biwole, T. Odstrčil, X. Litaudon +21
A first-of-its-kind experiment was conducted in the DIII-D tokamak under WEST similarity constraints on plasma shape and core parameters. This work presents a detailed transport st…
Improved n=1 Empirical Error Field Penetration Threshold Scaling with Ohmic and L-Mode Conventional Tokamak Plasma Discharges
E. M. Bursch, J. K. Park, N. C. Logan +12
This paper presents an updated n=1 error field penetration threshold scaling, which increases fit quality compared to previous error field scaling laws, is produced from an expande…
Mechanism Behind the Recombination Requirement for Benign Termination of Relativistic Electron Beams
George Su, Carl Friedrich Benedikt Zimmermann, Carlos Paz-Soldan +2
We present a first-principles explanation of the recombination requirement for benign termination of relativistic electron (RE) beams in tokamaks. Kinetic modeling including neutra…
Hollow toroidal rotation profiles in strongly electron heated H-mode plasmas in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak
C. F. B. Zimmermann, R. M. McDermott, C. Angioni +8
This work investigates toroidal momentum transport in type-I ELMy H-mode plasmas in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak, focusing on the formation of hollow rotation profiles under strong el…
Variability of MHD Instabilities in Benign Termination of High-Current Runaway Electron Beams in the JET and DIII-D Tokamaks
C. F. B. Zimmermann, C. Paz-Soldan, G. Su +14
Benign termination, in which magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities deconfine runaway electrons (REs) following hydrogenic injections, is a promising strategy for mitigating dange…
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+…
