Ion cyclotron emission (ICE) comprises strongly suprathermal emission, which has spectral peaks at multiple ion cyclotron harmonics. ICE is driven by the magnetoacoustic cyclotron instability, resulting from an inversion in the velocity-space distribution of the minority energetic ions. Recent experimental studies on DIII-D (K E Thome et al

Control of plasma H:D isotope mix using solely shallow pellets (in H or D) was demonstrated in recent experiments, attaining ~50%:50% ratio. The isotope mix propagates from the edge to the core on the confinement timescale. Isotope dependence of energy confinement is within error bar to scaling laws. A dataset is collected for different pellet s…

The experimental observation of multiple oscillations likely associated with beta-induced Alfven eigenmodes with toroidal mode number n = 1, 2 during strong tearing activity in JET plasmas is reported in this work. It is found the frequencies of these oscillations range from 5 kHz to 20 kHz, being consistent with the low-frequency beta-induc…

JET has investigated one the key issues for the baseline scenario in ITER, the integration of a radiative divertor for heat load control with the use of neon and nitrogen as seed impurity. A characterization of the choice of the impurity seed on plasma confinement, neutrons, pedestal MHD stability, pedestal instabilities, core transport is given…

This contribution outlines a strategy for assessing tritium (T) inventory in plasma facing components (PFC) during JET T operations. It is based on retention as a fraction of fuel injected in-vessel, currently reported as 0.24% for 2011-2012 operating period, in conjunction with the planned T pulse schedule providing fueling of 4 g T injected per d…

The optimum conditions for access to and sustainment of H-mode plasmas and their expected plasma parameters in the Pre-Fusion Power Operation 1 (PFPO-1) phase of the ITER Research Plan, where the additional plasma heating will be provided by 20 MW of Electron Cyclotron Heating (ECH), are assessed in order to identify key open R&D issues. The as…

Alfvén eigenmode (AE) instabilities driven by alpha-particles have been observed in D-3He fusion experiments on the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall (ILW). For the efficient generation of fusion alpha-particles from D-3He fusion reaction, the 3‑ion radio frequency (RF) scenario was used t…

The pedestal plays an important role in determining the confinement in tokamak H-mode plasmas. However, the steep pressure gradients in this transport barrier also lead to edge localized modes (ELMs) [1]. There is good understanding of the pedestal in type I ELM regimes [2], however, type I ELMs are known to damage plasma facing components and f…

Plasma Event TRiggering for Alarms (PETRA) is a flexible new system at JET for detecting plasma events to trigger exception handling responses. It provides a platform for all existing and new techniques which involve processing JET real-time data to identify when to change the trajectory of a plasma shot, and reduces the technical cost and risk in …
