The physics of ELM-free regimes in EUROfusion tokamaks
M. G. Dunne, M. Faitsch, O. Sauter +25
The development of operational scenarios without large Type-I ELMs is of utmost importance for the stable operation and longevity of future tokamaks. The EUROfusion tokamak exploit…
A predictive formula for the H-mode electron separatrix density: Bridging regression and physics-based models across C-Mod, AUG and JET tokamaks
D. Silvagni, O. Grover, A. Stagni +27
The electron density at the separatrix () plays a central role in balancing energy confinement, detachment achievement, and ELM suppression in tokamaks, thereby…
Initial observations in X-point target divertor discharges on MAST-U
N. Lonigro, K. Verhaegh, J. Harrison +14
The first high-power (> 3 MW) H-mode experiments using a double-null X-point-target (XPT) divertor configuration have been performed on MAST-U. The XPT geometry is obtained by comb…
2D electron density profile evolution during detachment in Super-X divertor L-mode discharges on MAST-U
N. Lonigro, R. S. Doyle, K. Verhaegh +12
2D electron density profiles obtained from coherence imaging spectroscopy in different MAST-U divertor conditions are compared. The data includes variations of strike point positio…
Runaway electron-induced plasma facing component damage in tokamaks
S. Ratynskaia, M. Hoelzl, E. Nardon +31
This Roadmap article addresses the critical and multifaceted challenge of plasma-facing component (PFC) damage caused by runaway electrons (REs) in tokamaks, a phenomenon that pose…
