High-power TCV scenario for conventional and alternative divertor studies
K. Lee, C. Theiler, M. Carpita +20
Alternative divertor configurations (ADCs) must be evaluated under boundary plasma conditions approaching reactor-level values to be considered a reliable, physics-based solution f…

Detachment dynamics and disturbance rejection in the TCV X-Point Target divertor
M. Winkel, K. Verhaegh, B. Kool +11
The X-Point Target divertor is an alternative divertor configuration with a secondary X-point in its divertor volume. In this work, we investigate the dynamic response and disturba…

Applications of a novel model-based real-time observer for electron density profile control experiments in TCV
F. Pastore, O. Sauter, F. Felici +12
Real-time control of tokamak plasmas encompasses sustaining a high-performance stationary state, avoiding disruptions, and managing ramp-up and ramp-down phases. Real-time estimati…
