Drift-cyclotron loss-cone instability in 3D simulations of a sloshing-ion simple mirror
Aaron Tran, Samuel J. Frank, Ari Y. Le +11
The kinetic stability of collisionless, sloshing beam-ion (45° pitch angle) plasma is studied in a 3D simple magnetic mirror, mimicking the Wisconsin High-temperature superconducto…
Confinement performance predictions for a high field axisymmetric tandem mirror
S. J. Frank, J. Viola, Yu. V. Petrov +14
This paper presents Hammir tandem mirror confinement performance analysis based on Realta Fusion's first-of-a-kind model for axisymmetric magnetic mirror fusion performance. This m…
MANTA: A Negative-Triangularity NASEM-Compliant Fusion Pilot Plant
MANTA Collaboration, G. Rutherford, H. S. Wilson +38
The MANTA (Modular Adjustable Negative Triangularity ARC-class) design study investigated how negative-triangularity (NT) may be leveraged in a compact, fusion pilot plant (FPP) to…
Verifying raytracing/Fokker-Planck lower-hybrid current drive predictions with self-consistent full-wave/Fokker-Planck simulations
S. J. Frank, J. P. Lee, J. C. Wright +2
Raytracing/Fokker-Planck (FP) simulations used to model lower-hybrid current drive (LHCD) often fail to reproduce experimental results, particularly when LHCD is weakly damped. A p…
An Assessment Of Full-Wave Effects On Maxwellian Lower-Hybrid Wave Damping
S J Frank, J C Wright, I H Hutchinson +1
Lower-hybrid current drive (LHCD) actuators are important components of modern day fusion experiments as well as proposed fusion reactors. However, simulations of LHCD often differ…
