Scrape-off layer ion temperature measurements at the divertor target in MAST by retarding field energy analyser

S. Elmore, S. Y. Allan, A. Kirk +6

Knowledge of the ion temperature (Ti) is of key importance for determining heat fluxes to the divertor and plasma facing components, however data regarding this is limited compared…

Understanding the effect resonant magnetic perturbations have on ELMs

A. Kirk, I. T. Chapman, T. E. Evans +8

All current estimations of the energy released by type I ELMs indicate that, in order to ensure an adequate lifetime of the divertor targets on ITER, a mechanism is required to dec…

Divertor heat fluxes and profiles during mitigated and unmitigated Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) on the Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak (MAST)

A. J. Thornton, A. Kirk, I. T. Chapman +2

Edge localised modes (ELMs) are a concern for future devices as they can limit the operational lifetime of the divertor. The mitigation of ELMs can be performed by the application…

Understanding ELM mitigation by resonant magnetic perturbations on MAST

A. Kirk, I. T. Chapman, Yueqiang Liu +11

Sustained ELM mitigation has been achieved using RMPs with a toroidal mode number of n=4 and n=6 in lower single null and with n=3 in connected double null plasmas on MAST. The ELM…

Towards understanding edge localised mode mitigation by resonant magnetic perturbations in MAST

I. T. Chapman, A. Kirk, C. J. Ham +10

Type-I Edge Localised Modes (ELMs) have been mitigated in MAST through the application of n = 3, 4 and 6 resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs). For each toroidal mode number of th…

Effect of resonant magnetic perturbations with toroidal mode numbers of 4 and 6 on ELMs in single null H-mode plasmas in MAST

A. Kirk, I. T. Chapman, J. Harrison +6

The application of resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) with a toroidal mode number of n=4 or n=6 to lower single null plasmas in the MAST tokamak produces up to a factor of 5 in…
