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 Doppler Backscattering (DBS) microwave diagnostic enables the non-perturbative characterisation of density fluctuations and flows, both at the edge and the core of the plasma. The large magnetic pitch angle (up to 35 degrees, compared to 15 degrees in standard tokamaks like JET) and the time-varying magnetic equilibrium make the use of DBS in s…

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…

Poloidally asymmetric distributions of nickel ions have been observed experimentally in Joint European Torus optimized shear tokamak plasmas following nickel laser injection experiments. Two types of asymmetries occur. In the first type of asymmetry, which has earlier been observed in high-confinement mode plasmas, nickel ions accumulate on the out…

An empirical procedure, ‘‘LINT,’’ for relating emission line intensities of intrinsic impurity ions to their elemental contributions to the total, bolometric, radiation loss and the volume-averaged effective ion charge, Zeff , has been developed and applied to limiter plasmas in the JET tokamak. In this article we discuss extensions to the …
