The fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium, D(T,n)4He is the main source of energy in future thermonuclear reactors. Alpha-particles (4He-ions) born with an average energy of 3.5MeV transferring energy to the thermal plasma during their slowing down, they should provide the self-sustained D-T

Alfvén eigenmode (AE) instabilities driven by α-particles have been observed in D-3He fusion experiments on the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall [Kiptily et al, submitted to Phys. Rev. Letters, 2020]. The impact of these type instabilities on a burning plasma is of crucial relevance for the perfor…

Alfvén eigenmode (AE) instabilities driven by alpha-particles have been observed in D-3He fusion experiments on the Joint European Torus (JET) with the ITER-like wall (ILW). For the efficient generation of fusion alpha-particles from D-3He fusion reaction, the 3‑ion radio frequency (RF) scenario was used t…

Elliptical AE (EAE) and TAE mode instabilities have been observed in hydrogen-rich (nH/(nH+nD)~70-90% JET discharges of so-called “three-ion scenario”, i.e. D-(3He)-H three ion ICRH scenario [1], which is characterized by strong absorption of radio frequency waves a…

Gamma diagnostics is considered to be primary for the confined alpha-particles and runaway electrons measurements on ITER. The gamma spectrometer will be embedded into a neutron dump of the ITER Neutral Particle Analyzer diagnostic complex. It will supplement NPA measurements on the fuel isotope ratio and confined alphas/fast ions. In this paper an…

Gamma-ray spectrometry provides diagnostics of fast ion behavior in plasmas of large tokamaks. Information acquiring with the gamma-ray diagnostics gives possibility to identify and distinguish simultaneously presence of fast alpha-particles and other ions (H, D, T, 3 He), to obtain its relative densities and also to perform tomographic radial prof…
