Scrape-off layer ion temperature measurements at the divertor target during type III and type I ELMs in MAST measured by RFEA
S. Elmore, S. Y. Allan, G. Fishpool +4
In future nuclear fusion reactors high heat load events, such as edge-localised modes (ELMs), can potentially damage divertor materials and release impurities into the main plasma,…
Pellet refuelling of particle loss due to ELM mitigation with RMPs in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak at low collisionality
M Valovič, P T Lang, A Kirk +17
The complete refuelling of the plasma density loss (pump-out) caused by mitigation of Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) is demonstrated on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. The plasma is refuel…
Characterisation of the L-mode Scrape Off Layer in MAST: decay lengths
F. Militello, L. Garzotti, J. Harrison +7
This work presents a detailed characterisation of the MAST Scrape Off Layer in L-mode. Scans in line averaged density, plasma current and toroidal magnetic field were performed. A…
Effect of resonant magnetic perturbations on low collisionality discharges in MAST and a comparison with ASDEX Upgrade
A. Kirk, W. Suttrop, Yueqiang Liu +19
Sustained ELM mitigation has been achieved on MAST and AUG using RMPs with a range of toroidal mode numbers over a wide region of low to medium collisionality discharges. The ELM e…
Impact of Resonant Magnetic Perturbations on the L-H Transition on MAST
R. Scannell, A. Kirk, M. Carr +7
The impact of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) on the power required to access H-mode is examined experimentally on MAST. Applying RMP in n=2,3,4 and 6 configurations causes…
ELM mitigation via rotating resonant magnetic perturbations on MAST
A. J. Thornton, A. Kirk, P. Cahyna +7
The application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) produces splitting of the divertor strike point due to the interaction of the RMP field and the plasma field. The applicat…
