Overview on electrical issues faced during the SPIDER experimental campaigns
Alberto Maistrello, Matteo Agostini, Marco Bigi +39
SPIDER is the full-scale prototype of the ion source of the ITER Heating Neutral Beam Injector, where negative ions of Hydrogen or Deuterium are produced by a RF generated plasma a…
Lessons learned after three years of SPIDER operation and the first MITICA integrated tests
D. Marcuzzi, V. Toigo, M. Boldrin +139
ITER envisages the use of two heating neutral beam injectors plus an optional one as part of the auxiliary heating and current drive system. The 16.5 MW expected neutral beam power…
