Optimizing beam-ion confinement in ITER by adjusting the toroidal phase of the 3-D magnetic fields applied for ELM control
L. Sanchis, M. Garcia-Munoz, E. Viezzer +8
The confinement of Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) particles in the presence of n=3 Resonant Magnetic Perturbations (RMPs) in 15 MA ITER DT plasmas has been studied using full orbit A…
Serpent neutronics model of Wendelstein 7-X for 14.1 MeV neutrons
Simppa Äkäslompolo, Jan Paul Koschinsky, Joona Kontula +8
In this work, a Serpent 2 neutronics model of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator is prepared, and an response function for the Scintillating-Fibre neutron detector (SciFi) is c…
Validation of neutron emission and neutron energy spectrum calculations on MAST with DRESS
Andrea Sperduti, Iwona Klimek, Sean Conroy +3
The recently developed Directional RElativistic Spectrum Simulator (DRESS) code has been validated for the first time against numerical calculations and experimental measurements p…
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…
The deteriorating effect of plasma density fluctuations on microwave beam quality
Alf Köhn, Max E. Austin, Michael W. Brookman +13
Turbulent plasma edge density fluctuations can broaden a traversing microwave beam degrading its quality. This can be a problem for scenarios relying on a high spatial localization…
Microwave beam broadening due to turbulent plasma density fluctuations within the limit of the Born approximation and beyond
Alf Köhn, Lorenzo Guidi, Eberhard Holzhauer +4
Plasma turbulence, and edge density fluctuations in particular, can under certain conditions broaden the cross-section of injected microwave beams significantly. This can be a seve…
