Langmuir probe and infrared thermography measurements of wide and narrow heat flux profiles in the ST40 tokamak
T. Brewer, X. Zhang, C. Marsden +11
Very narrow heat flux profiles have been observed on ST40 with decay lengths in the near scrape-off-layer (SOL) of ~1~mm in H-mode plasmas. Measurements from divertor…

Disruption Modelling for Engineering and Physics Design of Tokamak Energy ST-E1 Fusion Power Plant
M. Scarpari, X. Zhang, K. Borowiec +14
Plasma disruptions represent a critical challenge for high-performance tokamak operations, as they can compromise machine integrity and reduce operational availability. Although fu…

Experimental observations of bifurcated power decay lengths in the near Scrape-Off Layer of tokamak plasmas
X Zhang, C Marsden, M Moscheni +14
The scrape-off layer parallel heat flux decay lengths measured at ST40, a high field, low aspect ratio spherical tokamak, have been observed to bifurcate into two groups. The wide…
