This paper presents simulations of alpha-particle transport in ITER driven by static 3D magnetic
field perturbations in the high-performance 15 MA Q = 10 baseline scenario, specifically resonant magnetic
perturbations (RMPs) arising from edge-localized mode (ELM) control coils, combined with toroidal field ripple
(TFR) and effects from ferromagn…
An edge resonant transport layer has been found to explain many aspects of fast-ion confinement under symmetry breaking 3D edge perturbations, such as edge localized modes (ELMs) and externally applied magnetic perturbations (MPs). Experimental measurements in the ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) tokamak show that fast-ion losses in the presence of symmetry bre…
The design and unique feature of the first MAST-U fast-ion loss detector (FILD) [M. Garcia-Muñoz, Rev. Sci. Instrum 80, 053503 (2009)] is presented here. The MAST-U FILD head is mounted on an axially and angularly actuated mechanism that makes…
