Two approaches for studying the damping of resistive wall modes due to wave particle resonant interactions are discussed. One approach uses the eigenfunction from an ideal MHD code combined with the resonant particle damping calculated from a drift-kinetic Sf - method formulation. This perturbative approach treats the wave-particle interaction prec…

The tokamak plasma boundary, which is typically identified with the area of open field lines known as the scrape-off layer (SOL), determines the degree of plasmawall interaction. SOL physics, much of which is concerned with the exhaust (removal) of particles and energy from the plasma, has been one of the major topics investigated on JET during the…

In a fusion device such as a tokamak, it is well known that an unstable external kink mode, driven either by the plasma current or pressure, produces an external magnetic field perturbation, which induces stabilizing image currents in the surrounding conducting structures, such as the vacuum vessels made of low resistivity materials. The image curr…

Disruptions lead to the largest operational electromechanical loads on the vessel, its supports, and the in-vessel components. In addition, plasma-facing components can be exposed to very high thermal fluxes during the plasma thermal quench and to high-energy runaway electron beams. Therefore, disruptions represent one of the most demanding design …

The theory of variances of equilibrium reconstruction is presented. It complements existing practices with information regarding what kind of plasma characteristics can be reconstructed, how accurately, and what remains beyond the abilities of diagnostic systems. The -curves, introduced by the present theory, give a quantitative assessment of quali…

The measurement of the fuel mixture remains a very difficult task in thermonuclear plasmas, where the hydrogen isotopes are fully stripped and do not emit line radiation. On the other hand, direct determination of the ion species mix will be essential in the reactor to keep the mixture close to 50/50 and maximize the fusion output. In this paper, t…
