The low density and high temperature at the pedestal in hybrid scenarios on
JET provide a unique test of the neo-classical screening in the periphery of the
plasma that has previously been observed on JET. Hybrid scenario plasmas have
been further developed to aid in the study of temperature gradient screening
of high-Z impurities from the core…
The fusion-born alpha-particle heating in magnetically confined fusion machines is a high priority subject for study. The self-heating of thermonuclear fusion plasma by alpha-particles was observed in recent deuterium-tritium (D-T) experiments on the Joint European Torus (JET). This observation was possible by conducting so-called “af…
