This work studies the influence of RF waves in ICRH range of frequency on fusion alphas during recent JET D-T campaign. Fusion alphas from D-T reactions are born with energies of about 3.5MeV and therefore have significant Doppler shift enabling synergistic interaction between them and RF waves at broad range of frequencies including the ones fo…

To design a safe termination scenario for a burning ITER plasma is a challenge that requires extensive core plasma and divertor modelling. The presented work consists of coupled core/edge/SOL/divertor simulations, performed with the JINTRAC code, studying the Q=10 flat-top phase and exit phase of the ITER 15MA/5.3T DT scenario. The modelling uti…

ITER is of key importance in the European fusion roadmap as it aims to prove the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion as a future energy source. The EUROfusion consortium of labs is contributing to the preparation of ITER scientific exploitation and operation and aspires to exploit ITER outcomes in view of DEMO. The paper provides …

In 2019, the JET-ILW was equipped with a Shattered Pellet Injector (SPI) system with a wide capability to allow studies on the efficacy of shattered pellets in reducing the electro-magnetic and the thermal loads during disruptions and the avoidance/suppression of the formation of runaway electrons. The fully commissioned system became operationa…

A Toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) has been observed to be driven by alpha particles in a JET deuterium-tritium internal transport barrier plasma. The observation occurred 50ms after the removal of neutral beam heating (NBI). The mode is observed on magnetics, soft-xray, interferometry and reflectometry measurements. We present detailed stability…

In JET deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasmas, the fusion power is produced through thermonuclear reactions and reactions between thermal ions and fast particles generated by neutral beam injection (NBI) heating or accelerated by electromagnetic wave heating in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF). To complement the experiments with 50/50 D/T …

First quantitative analysis of the detachment processes in the MAST Upgrade Super-X divertor show an unprecedented impact of plasma-molecular interactions involving molecular ions, resulting in strong ion sinks, leading to a reduction of ion target flux. This starts to occur as the ionisation source detaches from the target, leading to a build-up o…

In this paper, we summarize our recent work on gyrokinetic applications in electron- positron and non-neutral plasma. The electrostatic stability of electron-positron plasmas was investigated in dipole and slab geometry, with and without ion admixture. The gyrokinetic dispersion relation was derived and, for the slab case, extended to non-neutra…

A dataset of baseline DT plasmas with peripheral HFS fuelling pellets has been produced on JET, in order to mimic the situtation in ITER. During the pellet ablation phase prompt particle losses due to pellet triggered ELM can be detected. Regarding pellet deposition, the data indicate that plasmoids drift velocity might be smaller than predicted…

In this manuscript we present the recently developed flexible framework for building both fluid and electron kinetic models of the tokamak Scrape-Off Layer in 1D - ReMKiT1D (Reactive Multi-fluid and Kinetic Transport in 1D). The framework can handle systems of non-linear ODEs, various 1D PDEs arising in fluid modelling, as well as PDEs arising from…
