Overview of recent physics results from MAST

A Kirk, J Adamek, RJ Akers +160

New results from MAST are presented that focus on validating models in order to extrapolate to future devices. Measurements during start-up experiments have shown how the bulk ion…

Bi-directional Alfvén Cyclotron Instabilities in the Mega-Amp Spherical Tokamak

S. E. Sharapov, M. K. Lilley, R. Akers +6

Alfvén cyclotron instabilities excited by velocity gradients of energetic beam ions were investigated in MAST experiments with super-Alfvénic NBI over a wide range of toroidal magn…

Measurements and modelling of fast-ion redistribution due to MHD instabilities in the Mega-Amp Spherical Tokamak

O M Jones, C A Michael, M Cecconello +10

The results of a comprehensive investigation into the effects of various MHD modes on the NBI-generated fast-ion population in MAST plasmas are reported. Fast-ion redistribution du…

Measurement and control of the fast ion redistribution on MAST

M. Turnyanskiy, C. D. Challis, R. J. Akers +7

Previous experiments on MAST and other tokamaks have indicated that the level of fast ion redistribution can exceed that expected from classical diffusion and that this level incre…

Dual view FIDA measurements on MAST

C. A. Michael, N. Conway, B. Crowley +11

A Fast Ion Deuterium Alpha (FIDA) spectrometer was installed on MAST to measure radially resolved information about the fast ion density and its distribution in energy and pitch an…
