Machine learning methods for modelling local, linear gyrokinetic simulations of MAST-U pedestal turbulence
Anna Niemelä, Daniel Jordan, Aaro Järvinen +8
Gyrokinetic (GK) stability strongly influences the performance of high-confinement-mode pedestals in spherical tokamak plasmas. High-fidelity gyrokinetic codes such as GENE can mod…
First demonstration of Super-X divertor exhaust control for transient heat load management in compact fusion reactors
B. Kool, K. Verhaegh, G. L. Derks +14
Nuclear fusion could offer clean, abundant energy. However, managing the immense power exhausted from the core fusion plasma towards the divertor remains a major challenge. This is…
First Ion Temperature Measurements in the MAST-U Divertor via Retarding Field Energy Analyzer
Y. Damizia, S. Elmore, P. Ryan +5
This study presents the first ion temperature (\(T_i\)) measurements from the MAST-U divertor using a Retarding Field Energy Analyzer (RFEA). Embedded within the flat tile of the c…
The Influence of Filaments in the Private Flux Region on Divertor Particle and Power Deposition
J. R. Harrison, G. M. Fishpool, A. J. Thornton +2
The transport of particles via intermittent filamentary structures in the private flux region of plasmas in the MAST tokamak has been investigated using a fast framing camera recor…
