In its lifetime of around 40 years of scientific operations, JET has performed three full-scale DT experimental campaigns: one in 1997 (DTE1) and two more in a relatively quick succession in 2021 (DTE2) and 2023 (DTE3). One of the goals of these campaigns, apart from studying variety of physics effect relevant to DT plasmas, was demonstration of fu…

Screening of high-Z (W) impurities from the confined plasma by the temperature gradient at the plasma periphery of fusion-grade H-mode plasmas was demonstrated for the first time in JET with the Be/W wall [Field A R et al, Nucl. Fusion 63(2023) 016028]. Through careful optimisation of the hybrid-scenario, deuterium plasmas with sufficient heating p…

Magnetic stochastic perturbations can strongly influence cross-field transport in high β tokamak plasmas. The impact of stochastic magnetic fields on electron heat transport in MAST/MAST-U is studied over a range in collisionality. Different formulae, based on the Rechester-Rosenbluth and the semi-empirical Rebut-Lallia-Walkins models, are used to…

During the DTE2 campaign in the JET tokamak we performed a parameter scan in T and D-T complementing existing pulses in H and D. For the different main ion masses H-modes at fixed plasma current and magnetic field can have the pedestal pressure varying by a factor of 4 and the total pressure changing from betaN = 1.0 to 3.0. Based on this wide data…

Screening of high-Z (W) impurities from the confined plasma by the temperature gradient at the hot edge pedestal of fusion-grade H-mode plasmas has been demonstrated for the first time in the JET-ILW tokamak. Through careful optimisation of the hybrid-scenario, deuterium plasmas with sufficient heating power (≳ 32MW), high enough ion temperature …

Experiments in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and JET with the ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) are performed to separate the pedestal and core contributions to confinement in H-modes with different main ion masses. A strong isotope mass dependence in the pedestal is found which is enhanced at high gas puffing. This is because the ELM type changes when going fro…

The evolution of the JET high performance hybrid scenario, including central accumulation of the tungsten (W) impurity, is reproduced with predictive multi-channel integrated modelling over multiple confinement times using first-principle based models. 8 transport channels are modelled predictively, with self-consistent sources, radiation and magne…

Neoclassical and turbulent heavy impurity transport in tokamak core plasmas are determined by main ion temperature, density and toroidal rotation profiles. Thus, in order to reproduce experimental behaviour of W accumulation, integrated modelling of main ion heat and particle transport is a vital prerequisite. For the first time, the quasilinear …

Quantitative comparisons are presented between gyrokinetic simulations and experimental values of the carbon impurity peaking factor in a database of JET H-modes during the carbon wall era. These plasmas feature strong NBI heating, hence high values of toroidal rotation and correponding gradient. Furthermore, the carbon profiles present particularl…
