A fast neutral lithium beam is used at JET for more than 30 years to measure profiles of electron density in the pedestal and scrape off layer. The diagnostic was not designed for tritium operation. In this paper, we describe the modifications which were required to allow operation in tritium (T) and deuterium-tritium (D-T ) fuelled pulses at JE…
Microinstabilities often result in turbulence that influences energy confinement in tokamak discharges. One such microinstability, of particular importance to the design of next-generation spherical tokamaks (STs) such as STEP [1], is the microtearing mode (MTM), a tearing-parity mode centred on high-order rational surfaces. MTMs are short-wavel…
