Synthetic fast ion diagnostics in tokamaks: comparing the Monte Carlo test particle code ASCOT against experiments
Simppa Äkäslompolo, Taina Kurki-Suonio, Seppo Sipilä +1
Measuring fast ions, most notably fusion alphas, in ITER and future reactors remains an issue that still lacks an adequate solution. Numerical simulations are invaluable in testing…
High-performance orbit-following code ASCOT5 for Monte Carlo simulations in fusion plasmas
Jari Varje, Konsta Särkimäki, Joona Kontula +5
We present a novel implementation of a Monte Carlo particle-following code for solving the distribution function of minority species in fusion plasmas, called ASCOT5, and verify it…
Validating the ASCOT modelling of NBI fast ions in Wendelstein 7-X stellarator
S. Äkäslompolo, P. Drewelow, Y. Gao +37
The first fast ion experiments in Wendelstein 7-X were performed in 2018. They are one of the first steps in demonstrating the optimised fast ion confinement of the stellarator. Th…
