First Experimental Evidence of Helicon Current Drive
J. B. Lestz, R. I. Pinsker, B. Van Compernolle +10
Helicon current drive is an attractive solution for driving current to sustain steady state tokamak operation in reactor conditions. Dedicated DIII-D experiments have been conducte…
Resonant Pitch-Angle Scattering Of Runaway-Electrons by Externally-launched Helicon Waves in the DIII-D Tokamak
Hari Choudhury, Jeffrey Lestz, Carlos Paz-Soldan +12
Resonant wave-particle interactions between externally launched helicon waves (also known as whistler waves) and runaway electrons (REs) have been demonstrated on the DIII-D tokama…
Robust Control of ECH Deposition Profiles on DIII-D
A. Rothstein, H. J. Farre-Kaga, K. Yasoda +5
Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH) is a key actuator in DIII-D and future tokamaks that provides auxiliary heating, localized current drive for scenario development and MHD stability…
Predictive capabilities of the integrated modeling TRANSP code for tokamak plasmas
A. Y. Pankin, J. Breslau, M. V. Gorelenkova +7
This paper expands on the TRANSP description given in [Computer Physics Communications 312 (2025) 109611] by describing recent progress in TRANSP's predictive functionality and emp…
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…
