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…

JET’s frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) reflectometers have been operating well with the current design since 2005 and density profiles are being automatically calculated intershot since then. However, the calculated profiles had long suffered from several shortcomings – poor agreement with other diagnostics; sometimes inappropriate…

The reference ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) heating schemes for ITER deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasmas at the full magnetic field of 5.3 T are second harmonic heating of tritium and 3He minority heating. The wave-particle resonance location for these schemes coincide and are central at a wave frequency of 53 MHz at 5.3T [1]. Experiments ha…

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…

In the paper we present an overview of interpretive modelling of a database of JET-ILW 2021 D-T discharges using the TRANSP code. Our main aim is to assess our capability of computationally reproducing the fusion performance of various D-T plasma scenarios using different external heating and D-T mixtures, and understand the performance driving mec…

The evolution of SOL density profiles and fluctuations have been studied at different recycling levels in 3 different tokamaks, ASDEXUpgrade, TCV and JET, all operated in HMode. In all devices we clearly observe an increase of far SOL efolding length at high …

Unusually high power loads on the Beryllium limiter caused by Neutral Beam re-ionisation, and much cooler divertor target surfaces were observed during the recent JET tritium campaign. As both phenomena are driven by scrape-off layer (SOL) physics, the SOL features of 72 tritium H-mode discharges and their deuterium references have been studied. …

Control of plasma H:D isotope mix using solely shallow pellets (in H or D) was demonstrated in recent experiments, attaining ~50%:50% ratio. The isotope mix propagates from the edge to the core on the confinement timescale. Isotope dependence of energy confinement is within error bar to scaling laws. A dataset is collected for different pellet s…
