During the 2015-2016 JET campaigns many efforts have been devoted to the exploration of high-performance plasma scenarios envisaged for DT operation in JET. In this paper we review various key recent hybrid discharges and model the combined ICRF+NBI heating. These deuterium discharges with deuterium beams had the ICRF antenna frequency tuned to mat…

Fast ion synergistic effects were studied by predictive modelling of JET best performing pulses for various levels of Neutral Beam (NB) and Radio Frequency (RF) power. Calculated DD neutron yields were analysed with the intention of separating the impact of sheer synergistic effects due to changes in fast ion (FI) distribution function (DF) from su…

Alfven Eigenmodes were studied in low magnetic shear flexible heliac TJ-II (B0=0.95 T, =1.5 m, =0.22 m) NBI heated plasmas (PNBI <1.1 MW, ENBI=32 keV) by Heavy Ion Beam Probe (HIBP) [1, 2, 3]. The L-mode hydrogen plasma was investigated at various magnetic configurations with rotational transform t(a)/2

We report results of the benchmarking of core particle transport simulations by the codes widely used in the interpretative transport analyses and predictive modelling of tokamak plasmas. Our analysis includes formulation of transport equations, difference between electron and ion particle solvers, comparison of simulations of particle sinks and so…

Stronger and more resistant alloys are required in order to increase the performance and efficiency 11 of jet engines and gas turbines. This will eventually require planar faults engineering, or a complete 12 understanding of the effects of composition and temperature on the various planar faults that 13 arise as a result of shearing of the γ prec…

Tokamak plasma current start-up assisted by Electron Bernstein waves (EBW) has been demonstrated successfully in a number of experiments. The dynamic start-up phase involves a change in field topology, as the initially open magnetic field lines form closed flux surfaces (CFS) under the initiation of a plasma current. This change in field topology w…

The heating neutral beam injectors (HNBs) of ITER are designed to deliver 16.7MWof 1 MeVD0 or 0.87 MeVH0 to the ITER plasma for up to 3600 s. They will be the most powerful neutral beam (NB) injectors ever, delivering higher energy NBs to the plasma in a tokamak for longer than any previous systems have done. The design of the HNBs is based on the …

The dynamics and stability of divertor detachment in N2 seeded, type-I, ELMy H-mode plasmas with dominant NBI heating in the JET-ILW device is studied by means of an integrated analysis of diagnostic data from several systems, classifying data relative to the ELM times. It is thereby possible to study the response of the detachment evolution to the…

Spin–lattice dynamics generalizes molecular dynamics to magnetic materials, where dynamic variables describing an evolving atomic system include not only coordinates and velocities of atoms but also directions and magnitudes of atomic magnetic moments (spins). Spin–lattice dynamics simulates the collective time evolution of spins and atoms, tak…

JET is an experimental fusion reactor consisting of magnetically confined, high temperature plasma insidea large ultra-high vacuum chamber. The inside of the chamber is protected from the hot plasma withtiles made from beryllium, tungsten, carbon composites and other materials bolted to the vessel wall.The study was carried out in response to a JET…
