A Toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) has been observed to be driven by alpha particles in a JET deuterium-tritium internal transport barrier plasma. The observation occurred 50ms after the removal of neutral beam heating (NBI). The mode is observed on magnetics, soft-xray, interferometry and reflectometry measurements. We present detailed stability…

The Joint European Torus (JET) recently carried out an experimental campaign using a plasma consisting of both deuterium (D) and tritium (T). We observed a high-frequency mode using a reflectometer and an interferometer in a DT plasma heated with low power neutral beam injection, $P_{NBI} = 11.6$ $MW$. This mode were observed at a frequency $f =…

Following from the paper describing the remote wide angle viewing system compatible with Deuterium-Tritium operations. This is the second article describing a second remote line of sight, this time focusing on the imaging of the divertor region in JET. It explains in detail the optical and engineering designs of constructing an optical relay which …

A toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) has been observed driven by alpha particles in the Joint European Torus (JET). The observation was made in dedicated deuterium-tritium experiments where radio-frequency (RF) heating was absent, in the so-called “afterglow” period when neutral beam heating was removed. Agreement with reduced and perturbative mod…

In 2019, the JET-ILW was equipped with a Shattered Pellet Injector (SPI) system with a wide capability to allow studies on the efficacy of shattered pellets in reducing the electro-magnetic and the thermal loads during disruptions and the avoidance/suppression of the formation of runaway electrons. The fully commissioned system became operationa…

The interaction of Alfvén Eigenmodes (AEs) and energetic particles will determine the success of future tokamaks. In JET, eight in-vessel antennas were installed to actively probe stable AEs with frequencies ranging 25 – 250 kHz and toroidal mode numbers abs(n)< 20. During the 2019-2020 deuterium campaign, almost 7500 resonances and …

Recent JET Deuterium experiments with an advanced internal transport barrier (ITB) scenario have been performed to clearly observe destabilised toroidicity-induced Alfvén eigenmodes (TAEs) by fast ions; interestingly, these also exhibit unstable electromagnetic (EM) perturbations in the sub-TAE frequency range. We identify such EM perturbations to…

This paper presents a dedicated study of plasma-antenna (PA) coupling with the Alfvén Eigenmode Active Diagnostic (AEAD) in JET. Stable AEs and their resonant frequencies f, damping rates < 0, and toroidal mode numbers n are measured for various PA separations and limiter versus X-point magnetic cofigurations. Two stable AEs are observed to be …

This paper presents results of extensive analysis of mode excitation observed during the operation of the Alfvén Eigenmode Active Diagnostic (AEAD) in the JET tokamak during the 2019-2020 deuterium campaign. Six of eight toroidally-spaced antennas, each with independent power and phasing, were successful in actively exciting stable MHD modes in…
