Spacecraft heat shield study in the DIII-D tokamak
Dmitri M. Orlov, Evdokiya G. Kostadinova, Igor Bykov +33
We report a new experimental platform developed at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility to investigate carbon ablation and spallation under extreme heat fluxes relevant to fusion pl…
Enhanced pedestal transport driven by edge collisionality on Alcator C-Mod and its role in regulating H-mode pedestal gradients
M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, A. M. Rosenthal +7
Experimental measurements of plasma and neutral profiles across the pedestal are used in conjunction with 2D edge modeling to examine pedestal stiffness in Alcator C-Mod H-mode pla…
Particle control via cryopumping and its impact on the edge plasma profiles of Alcator C-Mod
M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, S. Mordijck +4
At the high proposed for high-field fusion reactors, it is uncertain whether ionization, as opposed to plasma transport, will be most influential in determining at…
Highest Fusion Performance without Harmful Edge Energy Bursts in Tokamak
SangKyeun Kim, Ricardo Shousha, SeongMoo Yang +20
The path of tokamak fusion and ITER is maintaining high-performance plasma to produce sufficient fusion power. This effort is hindered by the transient energy burst arising from th…
