Ray-tracing techniques are applied to divertor filtered imaging, a diagnostic that has long been plagued by polluting reflected light features in metal walled fusion machines. A physically realistic surface reflection model is developed from a Cook-Torrence microfacet BRDF model. Camera calibration images of in-vessel point lights at JET are use…

Recent experiments on TCV have made significant progress toward partial detachment of the outer divertor in neutral beam heated H-mode plasmas. The heating power required to enter H-mode was measured in a range of divertor configurations, finding that, in the vicinity of the PL-H/ne curve, the threshold power is largely independent of the poloidal …

EASY-II(12) is designed as a functional replacement for the previous European Activation System, EASY-2010. It has extended nuclear data and new software, FISPACT-II, written in object-style Fortran to provide new capabilities for predictions of activation, transmutation, depletion and burnup. The new FISPACT-II code has allowed us to embed many mo…

Fispact-II is an inventory code capable of performing modelling of activation, trans- mutations and burn-up induced by neutron, proton, alpha, deuteron or gamma parti- cles incident on matter. It is a completely new inventory code initially designed to be a functional replacement for Fispact-2007, but now extended to have substantially more capabil…

Direct coupling between a transport solver and local, nonlinear gyrokinetic calculations using the multiscale gyrokinetic code TRINITY [M. Barnes, “TRINITY: A unified treatment of turbulence, transport, and heating in magnetized plasmas,” Ph.D. thesis, University of Maryland, (2008) eprint arXiv:0901.2868] is described. The coupling of the micr…

The formation of neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) severely limits the performance of a tokamak plasma by increasing the radial particle and heat fluxes from the core and can even lead to a plasma disruption. Indeed, NTMs are a serious consideration for the next step device, ITER. The appearance of a finite NTM magnetic island requires an initial …

Sawtooth behavior has been investigated in plasmas heated with off-axis neutral beam injection in ASDEX Upgrade [A. Herrmann and O. Gruber, Fusion Sci. Technol. 44 , 569 (2003)] and the Mega-Ampere Spherical Tokamak MAST [A. Sykes and et al. , Nucl. Fusion 41 , 1423 (2001)]. Provided that the fast ions are well confined, the sawtooth period is foun…
