R&D activities on RF contacts for the ITER ion cyclotron resonance heating launcher
Julien Hillairet, Arnaud Argouarch, Rob Bamber +23
Embedded RF contacts are integrated within the ITER ICRH launcher to allow assembling, sliding and to lower the thermo-mechanical stress. They have to withstand a peak RF current u…
Lower Hybrid antennas for nuclear fusion experiments
Julien Hillairet, J. Achard, Young-Soon Bae +40
The nuclear fusion research goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion power for peaceful purposes. In order to achieve the conditions similar to those expected in an electri…
Recent progress on lower hybrid current drive and implications for ITER
Julien Hillairet, A. Ekedahl, M. Goniche +23
The sustainment of steady-state plasmas in tokamaks requires efficient current drive systems. Lower Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) is currently the most efficient method to generate a…
