The importance of parallel magnetic field perturbations in gyrokinetic simulations of electromagnetic instabilities and turbulence at mid-radius in the burning plasma phase of the conceptual high-β, reactor-scale, tight-aspect-ratio tokamak STEP is discussed. Previous studies have revealed the presence of unstable hybrid kinetic ballooning modes (…

The JET hybrid scenario has been developed from low plasma current carbon wall discharges to the record-breaking Deuterium-Tritium plasmas obtained in 2021 with the ITER-like Be/W wall. The development started in pure Deuterium with refinement of the plasma current, and toroidal magnetic field choices and succeeded in solving the heat load challeng…

This work describes the usage of Error Field Correction coil system [Barlow I. et al 2001 Fusion Eng. Des. 58-59 189], which is a set of 4 coils located external to the vessel of the JET device, with the aim of introducing non-axisymmetric n=1 magnetic field perturbations in various targeted plasma experiments. Besides being used to characterize…

Solution reconstruction from limited number of measurements is useful in many areas of heat transfer applications. Unlike the standard problems, such reconstruction problems are ill-posed; thus, the non-uniqueness of solution and inherent instability severely complicates the modelling process. Consequently, more conventional inverse analysis method…

The Joint European Torus (JET) recently carried out an experimental campaign using a plasma consisting of both deuterium (D) and tritium (T). We observed a high-frequency mode using a reflectometer and an interferometer in a DT plasma heated with low power neutral beam injection, $P_{NBI} = 11.6$ $MW$. This mode were observed at a frequency $f =…

The high source stability and brightness of field emission gun equipped scanning electron microscopes (SEM) makes them ideal for high-resolution digital image correlation (HRDIC). However, their high initial capital cost can be prohibitive for research organisations and groups. Conventional thermionic SEMs using either a tungsten hairpin or LaB

MAST Upgrade has just begun its second physics campaign. The set of magnetic probes used to diagnose the magnetic field and currents on MAST Upgrade are described, and their calibration procedures outlined including calculation of uncertainties. The arrays of installed instability diagnostics are described and the detection and diagnosis of a speci…

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) have been shown to improve data gathering processes over large spacial and temporal scales at a low cost [1], as well as the automation of decision making processes in complex industrial settings [2]. The nuclear sector is no exception to this, being obvious applications structural health monitoring [3] and radiation…

Pellet injection is used for fuelling and controlling discharges in tokamaks, and it is foreseen in ITER. During pellet injection, a movement of the ablated material towards the low-field side (or outward major radius direction) occurs because of the inhomogeneity of the magnetic field. Due to the complexity of the theoretical models, computer…

The High Field High Density Region (HFSFD) has been experimentally observed in both divertor and limiter tokamak devices. In order to numerically reproduced the HFSHD region in the limiter tokamak device J-TEXT, we first performed SOLPS-ITER simulations on the J-TEXT limiter tokamak with the activation of drifts, which is associated with the HFSHD …
