A Fast-Ion Loss Detector (FILD) was installed for the first time at
the MAST-U spherical tokamak during its upgrade in 2021. A CMOS camera
was installed in the MAST-U FILD acquisition system to provide high spatial
resolution (1.1 MPx) to infer the velocity space of the fast-ion losses. This camera
allows up to 3.5 kHz ac…
ITER is of key importance in the European fusion roadmap as it aims to prove the scientific and technological feasibility of fusion as a future energy source. The EUROfusion consortium of labs is contributing to the preparation of ITER scientific exploitation and operation and aspires to exploit ITER outcomes in view of DEMO. The paper provides …
Observations of enhanced fast-ion losses during edge localized modes (ELMs) have been reported in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak, revealing losses above the injection energy. This suggests that fast ions can be accelerated and lost by the ELMs. Recent analysis delves into the analysis of the ELM-induced losses, suggesting that the fast ions are los…
