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…

A Toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) has been observed to be driven by alpha particles in a JET deuterium-tritium internal transport barrier plasma. The observation occurred 50ms after the removal of neutral beam heating (NBI). The mode is observed on magnetics, soft-xray, interferometry and reflectometry measurements. We present detailed stability…

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…

A toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) has been observed driven by alpha particles in the Joint European Torus (JET). The observation was made in dedicated deuterium-tritium experiments where radio-frequency (RF) heating was absent, in the so-called “afterglow” period when neutral beam heating was removed. Agreement with reduced and perturbative mod…

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[1]. However, the calculated profiles had long suffered from several shortcomings – poor agreement to other diagnostics; sometimes inappropriat…

Shattered pellet injection (SPI), with research started in recent years, is the current concept for the ITER disruption mitigation system (DMS) to prevent disruption-related damage. Compared with impurity SPI, pure deuterium (D2) SPI could contribute to runaway electron (RE) avoidance in ITER via a strong dilution cooling before the thermal quen…

Many of the essential data analysis procedures for a tokamak experiment rely on the knowledge of the magnetic field structure obtained from MHD force balance. On JET, the code that is responsible for computing the magnetic equilibrium is called EFIT++. Interpretation of JET data has been challenging due to inconsistencies between diagnostic meas…

JET has investigated one the key issues for the baseline scenario in ITER, the integration of a radiative divertor for heat load control with the use of neon and nitrogen as seed impurity. A characterization of the choice of the impurity seed on plasma confinement, neutrons, pedestal MHD stability, pedestal instabilities, core transport is given…

In this work, we use reduced and perturbative models to examine the stability of TAEs during the ITB afterglow in JET experiments designed for the observation of alpha driven TAEs. We demonstrate that in JET-like conditions, it is sufficient to use an incompressible cold plasma model for the TAE to reproduce the experimental adiabatic features…
