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. …

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…

MAST pedestal data has been analysed, where a pedestal database of 892 shots was obtained, using the new upgraded MAST Thomson Scattering (TS) diagnostic. Various ELM types are discussed, where characteristics and trends of MAST pedestals are shown. The data from the upgraded TS diagnostic confirms pedestal characteristics found in earlier analy…

We present the results of GENE gyrokinetic calculations based on a series of JET-ILW type I ELMy H-mode discharges operating with similar experimental inputsbut at different levels of power and gas fuelling. We show that turbulence due to slab electron-temperature-gradient modes (sETGs) produces a significant amount of heat flux in four JET-ILW …

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…

Dimensionless experiments test the invariance of plasma physics to changes in the dimensional plasma parameters, when the canonical dimensionless parameters are conserved [1], [2]. Isotope identity experiments exploit the change in isotope ion mass A = mi/mp to obtain plasmas with identical dimensionless profiles in the same tokamak. However, condi…

The isotope dependence of plasma transport has a significant impact on the performance of future D-T experiments in JET and ITER and eventually on the fusion gain and economics of future reactors. In preparation for future D-T operation on JET, dedicated experiments and comprehensive transport analysis were performed in H, D and H-D mixed plasma…

EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations show that for a H-mode JET discharge (92168) the dominant atomic neutral deuterium source at the separatrix originates from the inner divertor target. Within JETTO-EIRENE neutral sources are placed at the X-point and outer midplane (OMP). For fixed electron and ion temperature, transport and neutral temperature it is obser…

The exhaust (loss) power components due to ELMs, radiation and heat transport across the edge transport barrier (ETB) between ELMs are quantifed for H-mode plasmas in JET-C and JET-ILW to provide data for comparison with simulations of pedestal heat transport. In low-current, JET-ILW pulses with a low rate of gas fuelling, the pedestal heat tran…

The self-consistent core-pedestal prediction model of a combination of EPED1 type pedestal prediction and a simple stiff core transport model is able to predict type I ELMy pedestals of a large database JET-ILW (ITER-like wall) at the similar accuracy as is obtained when the experimental global plasma b is used as input. The neutral penetration …
