Resistive plasma response to the n = 1 (n is the toroidal mode number) RMP field is systematically investigated for a high-beta hybrid discharge on ASDEX Upgrade. Both linear and quasi-linear response are modelled using the MARS-F and MARS-Q codes, respectively. Linear response computations show a large internal kink response when the plasma centra…

The research program of the TCV tokamak ranges from conventional to advanced-tokamak scenarios and alternative divertor configurations, to exploratory plasmas driven by theoretical insight, exploiting the device’s unique shaping capabilities. Disruption avoidance by real-time locked mode prevention or unlocking with ECRH was thoroughly documen…

Results of simulations of the sawtooth-induced redistribution of fast ions in JET and ITER with the code OFSEF are presented. The dependence of the redistribution on the particle parameters (energy and pitch angle) is studied. The redistribution of the trapped and marginally passing particles is found to exhibit barrier-like behaviour at the separa…

Recent experiments on Magnum-PSI exposed a lithium-filled heat pipe to a hydrogen plasma beam to demonstrate the potential of radiatively cooled, high temperature heat pipes as modular, replaceable plasma facing components. Monitoring the temperature distribution over the full 20cm length of the pipe was a crucial element of the experiment, requiri…

Pellets are used in ASDEX Upgrade [1] to control plasma density under conditions of ELM control or divertor detachment. In experiments presented here direct fuelling by gas is negligible. Relative pellet size and pellet deposition are aimed to approach those in ITER but differences still remain. ELMs are controlled by n=2 RMPs in feed forward mode …

An edge resonant transport layer has been found to explain many aspects of fast-ion confinement under symmetry breaking 3D edge perturbations, such as edge localized modes (ELMs) and externally applied magnetic perturbations (MPs). Experimental measurements in the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamak show that fast-ion losses in the presence of symmetry bre…

Recent results from MAST address key physics issues for ITER operations and the design of future devices, by advancing our understanding of through analysis of high-resolution data and numerical modelling. Modelling of the interaction between filaments with BOUT++ indicates filaments separated by more than 5x their width move independently, and …

The dependence of JET neutron deficit and energy balance on neutral beam (PINI) selection has been investigated experimentally. The discrepancy between neutrons predicted and measured during JET pulses has consistently deviated, with the measured neutrons typically being lower than expected by simulation. A number of investigations into this hav…

The resonant detection and measurement of the damping rates of Alfvén Eigenmodes (AEs) is of critical importance to the design of experiments and development of models of AE stability [1]. With the Alfvén Eigenmodes Active Diagnostic (AEAD) on JET, weakly-damped Toroidal AEs (TAEs) have been probed. Theoretical modeling using the Gyrokinetic Toro…
