ITER ECE front-end design, alignment and in-situ calibration
Saeid Houshmandyar, W. L. Rowan, J. P. Ziegel +1
The electron cyclotron emission (ECE) diagnostics suite at ITER utilizes a front-end quasi-optical (QO) system whose design is fundamentally constrained by a field-stop concept. Th…

Microtearing Thresholds and Second-Stable Ballooning in the DIII-D Pedestal: Reduced Modeling and Core-Edge Implications
David R. Hatch, Leonhard A. Leppin, Mike T. Kotschenreuther +4
Global and local linear gyrokinetic simulations of 42 pedestal equilibria from three DIII-D discharges are used to investigate pedestal stability and its impact on pedestal structu…
