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…
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…
Simulations of fast ion wall loads in ASDEX Upgrade in the presence of magnetic perturbations due to ELM mitigation coils
Otto Asunta, Simppa Äkäslompolo, Taina Kurki-Suonio +4
The effect of ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) ELM mitigation coils on fast ion wall loads was studied with the fast particle following Monte Carlo code ASCOT. Neutral beam injected (NBI) parti…
Calculating the 3D magnetic field of ITER for European TBM studies
Simppa Äkäslompolo, Otto Asunta, Thijs Bergmans +6
The magnetic perturbation due to the ferromagnetic test blanket modules (TBMs) may deteriorate fast ion confinement in ITER. This effect must be quantified by numerical studies in…
