The LOCUST GPU code has been applied to study the fast-ion transport caused by resonant magnetic perturbations in the high-performance Q = 10 ITER baseline scenario. The computational speed of the code is used calculate the impact of the ITER ELM-control-coil system on neutral beam heating efficiency, as well as producing detailed predictions o…

This paper provides an overview of the status of the laser diagnostics to be implemented on ITER. This includes descriptions of the Thomson scattering in the Core, Edge and Divertor regions, polarimetry and interferometry diagnostics used for measuring plasma density and also measurements of Helium density in the divertor using Laser Induced Flo…

Ion cyclotron emission (ICE) comprises strongly suprathermal emission, which has spectral peaks at multiple ion cyclotron harmonics. ICE is driven by the magnetoacoustic cyclotron instability, resulting from an inversion in the velocity-space distribution of the minority energetic ions. Recent experimental studies on DIII-D (K E Thome et al

A novel high-performance computing algorithm, developed in response to the next generation of computational challenges associated with burning plasma regimes in ITER-scale tokamak devices, has been tested and is described herein. LOCUST-GPU 2 The Lorentz-Orbit Code for Use in Stellarators and Tokamaks (LOCUST) is designed for computationally scal…

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…

Neutral beam injection into reversed magnetic shear DIII-D and ASDEX Upgrade plasmas produces a variety of Alfvénic activity including toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes and reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes (RSAEs). These modes are studied during the discharge current ramp phase when incomplete current penetration results in a high central sa…

Reversed shear Alfvén eigenmodes RSAE that were observed in the Joint European Torus (JET) [P. H. Rebut and B. E. Keen, Fusion Technol. 11 , 13 (1987)] and DIII-D [J. L. Luxon, Nucl. Fusion 42 , 614 (2002)] are studied with the ideal magnetohydrodynamic code NOVA-K C. [Z. Cheng, Phys. Rep. 211 , 1 (1992)]. It was found that the frequency behavior …
