This paper reports the first experiment carried out in deuterium–tritium addressing the integration of a radiative divertor for heat-load control with good confinement. Neon seeding was carried out for the first time in a D–T plasma as part of the second D–T campaign of JET with its Be/W wall environment. The technical difficulties linked to …

The JET hybrid scenario has been developed from low plasma current carbon wall discharges to the record-breaking Deuterium-Tritium plasmas obtained in 2021 with the ITER-like Be/W wall. The development started in pure Deuterium with refinement of the plasma current, and toroidal magnetic field choices and succeeded in solving the heat load challeng…

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. However, the calculated profiles had long suffered from several shortcomings – poor agreement with other diagnostics; sometimes inappropriate…

The present paper is dedicated to the study of the discrepancies encountered in electron temperatures (Te) measurements carried out with Electron Cyclotron Emission (ECE) and Thomson Scattering (TS) diagnostics in the core of the JET tokamak. A large database of discharges has been collected, including high-performance scenarios perform…

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…

Recent experiments performed in JET at high level of plasma heating, in preparation of, and during the DT campaign have shown significant discrepancies between electron temperature measurements by Thomson Scattering (TS) and Electron Cyclotron Emission (ECE). In order to perform a systematic analysis of this effect, a simple model of bipolar dis…

Accurate and consistent measurements of the electron temperature (Te) profile are paramount for current fusion experiments, like JET, and future devices, such as ITER. In high performance plasmas in JET and TFTR, electron cyclotron emission (ECE) measurements for central Te>5 keV were systematically found to be up to 20%…

The analysis of quiescent discharges exhibiting edge harmonic magnetoydrodynamic activity in the JET-Carbon wall machine is presented. It is observed that the quiescent phase with multiple-n harmonic oscillations is sustained until a threshold in pedestal electron density and collisionality is crossed. The macroscopic pedestal parameters associated…

A key aim of the 2021 JET deuterium-tritium (D-T) experiments was to demonstrate steady high fusion power (10-15MW) with the ITER-like Be/W first wall. Plasmas were developed using D, repeated with T to investigate and mitigate isotope effects, and run with D-T to maximise fusion power. Compared with high current (q95~3) ‘baseline’ plasmas, …
