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…
Suppression of Edge Localized Modes in ITER Baseline Scenario in EAST using Edge Localized Magnetic Perturbations
P. Xie, Y. Sun, M. Jia +31
We report the suppression of Type-I Edge Localized Modes (ELMs) in the EAST tokamak under ITER baseline conditions using Resonant Magnetic Perturbations (RMPs), while maint…
Access and sustainment of ELMy H-mode operation for ITER Pre-Fusion Power Operation plasmas using JINTRAC
E. Tholerus, L. Garzotti, V. Parail +15
In the initial stages of ITER operation, ELM mitigation systems need to be commissioned. This requires controlled flat-top operation in type-I ELMy H-mode regimes. Hydrogen or heli…
Quantification of locked mode instability triggered by a change in confinement
M. Peterka, J. Seidl, T. Markovic +24
This work presents the first analysis of the disruptive locked mode (LM) triggered by the dynamics of a confinement change. It shows that, under certain conditions, the LM threshol…
