This work presents a system upgrade of the High Resolution Thomson Scattering (HRTS) diagnostic on JET that allows it to measure low temperature (1 to 500 eV) plasma pre- and post-Thermal quench (TQ), which would help to further the understanding of the physics in SPI experiments. The upgrade was done by connecting optic fibres from the original…

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…

2021 JET experimental campaign has produced high stationary fusion power with 50%D 50%T discharges, operated with the ITER-relevant conditions i.e. operation with the baseline or hybrid scenario in the full metallic wall. It has provided a unique opportunity to assess the DT fusion power prediction capability before ITER DT experiments. This pap…

This work studies the influence of RF waves in ICRH range of frequency on fusion alphas during recent JET D-T campaign. Fusion alphas from D-T reactions are born with energies of about 3.5MeV and therefore have significant Doppler shift enabling synergistic interaction between them and RF waves at broad range of frequencies including the ones fo…

The reference ion cyclotron resonance frequency (ICRF) heating schemes for ITER deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasmas at the full magnetic field of 5.3 T are second harmonic heating of tritium and 3He minority heating. The wave-particle resonance location for these schemes coincide and are central at a wave frequency of 53 MHz at 5.3T [1]. Experiments ha…

During the DTE2 campaign in the JET tokamak we performed a parameter scan in T and D-T complementing existing pulses in H and D. For the different main ion masses H-modes at fixed plasma current and magnetic field can have the pedestal pressure varying by a factor of 4 and the total pressure changing from betaN = 1.0 to 3.0. Based on this wide data…

This work studies the interaction between Radio Frequency (RF) waves used for Ion Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ICRH) and the fast D and T Neutral Beam Injected (NBI) ions in DT plasma. The focus is on the effect of this interaction, also referred to as synergistic effects, on the fusion performance in the recent JET DTE2 campaign. Experimental d…

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…

In JET deuterium-tritium (D-T) plasmas, the fusion power is produced through thermonuclear reactions and reactions between thermal ions and fast particles generated by neutral beam injection (NBI) heating or accelerated by electromagnetic wave heating in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF). To complement the experiments with 50/50 D/T …
