Photodiode based multi-modal diagnostic for low-energy neutral beam injection in the LTX- spherical tokamak

A. Maan, Tosh Le, D. P. Boyle +8

We present a compact photodiode-based diagnostic array developed to study low-energy neutral beam injection in the LTX- spherical tokamak. The in-vacuum diagnostic combines filt…

Turbulent Transport-Limited Pedestals in Tokamaks

J. F. Parisi, D. R. Hatch, P. Y. Li +5

H-mode operation of tokamak fusion plasmas free of dangerous Type 1 edge-localized-modes (ELMs) requires a non-ELM mechanism for saturating the edge pedestal growth. One possible m…

Prediction of ELM-free Operation in Spherical Tokamaks With High Plasma Squareness

J. F. Parisi, J. W. Berkery, K. Imada +5

We predict that high plasma squareness in spherical tokamaks (STs) could result in edge-localized-mode (ELM)-free H-mode. The effect of squareness on gyrokinetic and peeling-balloo…

HIPED: Machine Learning Framework for Spherical Tokamak Pedestal Prediction and Optimization

J. F. Parisi, J. G. Clark, J. W. Berkery +4

We introduce a Machine Learning framework, HIPED (HeIght and width Predictor for Edge Dynamics), for predicting and optimizing pedestal and core performance in spherical tokamak pl…

Stability and Transport of Gyrokinetic Critical Pedestals

J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, W. Guttenfelder +11

A gyrokinetic threshold model for pedestal width-height scaling prediction is applied to multiple devices and to a shaping and aspect-ratio scan giving $Δ_{\mathrm{ped}} = 0.92 A^{…

Kinetic-Ballooning-Bifurcation in Tokamak Pedestals Across Shaping and Aspect-Ratio

J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, R. Gaur +16

We use a new gyrokinetic threshold model to predict a bifurcation in tokamak pedestal width-height scalings that depends strongly on plasma shaping and aspect-ratio. The bifurcatio…

Kinetic-Ballooning-Limited Pedestals in Spherical Tokamak Plasmas

J. F. Parisi, W. Guttenfelder, A. O. Nelson +12

A theoretical model is presented that for the first time matches experimental measurements of the pedestal width-height Diallo scaling in the low-aspect-ratio high- tokamak NSTX…
