Disambiguation of magnetic sensors in ITER

M. J. Hole, S. D. Pinches, G. Vayakis +3

ITER will possess approximately 500 magnetic sensors (mainly measuring poloidal flux) distributed across the first wall. The coils are at known locations but the matching signals n…

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…

EP-Stability-WF: an IMAS-integrated workflow for energetic particle stability

V. -A. Popa, Ph. Lauber, T. Hayward-Schneider +3

The confinement of energetic particles (EPs) generated by fusion reactions and external heating methods is crucial for the performance of future fusion devices. However, EP transpo…

Saturation of fishbone instability by self-generated zonal flows in tokamak plasmas

G. Brochard, C. Liu, X. Wei +13

Gyrokinetic simulations of the fishbone instability in DIII-D tokamak plasmas find that self-generated zonal flows can dominate the nonlinear saturation by preventing coherent stru…
