How Fusion-Born Alpha Particles Suppress Microturbulence in Burning Plasmas
Alessandro Di Siena, Alejandro Banon Navarro, Pablo Rodriguez-Fernandez +13
A central unresolved question in fusion energy research is whether energetic alpha particles, the primary products of deuterium-tritium fusion reactions, enhance or degrade plasma…

3D modelling of thermal loads during unmitigated vertical displacement events in ITER and JET
F. J. Artola, A. Redl, S. N. Gerasimov +9
Predicting three-dimensional thermal loads during tokamak disruptions is essential for ITER yet remains weakly developed. We present a physics-based workflow that couples MHD simul…

First global gyrokinetic profile predictions of ITER burning plasma
A. Di Siena, C. Bourdelle, A. Bañón Navarro +11
In this work, we present the first global gyrokinetic simulations of the ITER baseline scenario operating at 15 MA using GENE-Tango electrostatic and electromagnetic simulations. T…
