Measurement of zero-frequency fluctuations generated by coupling between Alfven modes in the JET tokamak
Juan Ruiz Ruiz, Jeronimo Garcia, Michael Barnes +13
We report the first experimental detection of a zero-frequency fluctuation that is pumped by an Alfvèn mode in a magnetically confined plasma. Core-localized bidirectional Alfvèn m…
Piecewise omnigenous stellarators
J. L. Velasco, I. Calvo, F. J. Escoto +3
In omnigeneous magnetic fields, charged particles are perfectly confined in the absence of collisions and turbulence. For this reason, the magnetic configuration is optimized to be…
MONKES: a fast neoclassical code for the evaluation of monoenergetic transport coefficients
F. J. Escoto, J. L. Velasco, I. Calvo +2
MONKES is a new neoclassical code for the evaluation of monoenergetic transport coefficients in stellarators. By means of a convergence study and benchmarks with other codes, it is…
Kinetic-Ballooning-Bifurcation in Tokamak Pedestals Across Shaping and Aspect-Ratio
J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, R. Gaur +16
We use a new gyrokinetic threshold model to predict a bifurcation in tokamak pedestal width-height scalings that depends strongly on plasma shaping and aspect-ratio. The bifurcatio…
Ion temperature and density gradient driven instabilities and turbulence in Wendelstein 7-X close to the stability threshold
L. Podavini, A. Zocco, J. M. García-Regaña +4
Electrostatic gyrokinetic instabilities and turbulence in the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator are studied. Particular attention is paid to the ion-temperature-gradient (ITG) instabilit…
