Massive amounts of data generated by fusion machines (such as JET) require developing automatic methods for data analysis. Edge-localized modes (ELMs) are instabilities occurring in the edge of H-mode plasmas. The aim of this work is to develop an automatic off-line method for identifying and locating ELMs. This method uses Universal Multi-Event Lo…

Dynamical systems are often considered immune from memory effects, i.e., the dependence of their time evolution on the previous history. This assumption has been tested for two phenomena in nuclear fusion that are believed to sometimes show sensitivity to the previous history of the discharge: disruptions and the transition from the L mode to the H…

Several diagnostic systems in magnetically confined fusion plasmas provide line-integrated measurements along chords, including bolometry, visible light, soft-Xray ~SXR!, or neutron diagnostics. The task of retrieval of spatial distribution of the plasma emissivity from the line-integrated measurements constitutes an important part of fusion data a…

The last flux surface can be used to identify the plasma configuration of discharges. For automated recognition of JET configurations, a learning system based on support vector machines has been developed. Each configuration is described by 12 geometrical parameters. A multiclass system has been developed by means of the one-versus-the-rest approac…

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…

Studies establishing key phenomena and developing diagnostics for energetic particle physics, which are essential for the next step burning plasma experiments such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), have been performed at the Joint European Torus (JET). Experiments have demonstrated clear selfheating of deuterium-tritiu…

The need to understand and control the dynamics of reactor grade fusion plasmas requires the analysis of increasing amounts of data, which at JET can reach easily the level of several GBytes per shot. Therefore a series of new approaches are being pursued to store the data and to retrieve the required information. They range from loss less data com…

Optical interferometers are normally used in magnetically confined plasmas to measure the refractive index of the plasma by comparing the phase shift variation between a reference and a probe laser beam, from which the line-integrated electron density can be derived. Unfortunately, interferometric measurements are affected by fringe jumps, which ar…

At JET, the potential of fast image processing for real-time purposes is thoroughly investigated. Particular attention is devoted to smart sensors based on system on chip technology. The data of the infrared cameras were processed with a chip implementing a cellular nonlinear network CNN structure so as to support and complement the magnetic diagno…
