The fusion reaction between deuterium and tritium, D(T,n)4He is the main source of energy in future thermonuclear reactors. Charged fusion products of this reaction, α-particles (4He-ions), are born with an average energy of 3.5 MeV. Transferring energy to the thermal plasma during their slowing down, the…

This article presents an in-depth study of the sequence of events leading to density limit disruption in J-TEXT tokamak plasmas, with an emphasis on boudary turbulent transport and the high-field-side high-density (HFSHD) front. These phenomena were extensively investigated by using Langmuir probe and Polarimeter-interferometer diagnostics. The res…

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 …

In the paper we present an overview of interpretive modelling of a database of JET-ILW 2021 D-T discharges using the TRANSP code. Our main aim is to assess our capability of computationally reproducing the fusion performance of various D-T plasma scenarios using different external heating and D-T mixtures, and understand the performance driving mec…

The High Field High Density Region (HFSFD) has been experimentally observed in both divertor and limiter tokamak devices. In order to numerically reproduced the HFSHD region in the limiter tokamak device J-TEXT, we first performed SOLPS-ITER simulations on the J-TEXT limiter tokamak with the activation of drifts, which is associated with the HFSHD …

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 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…

Unusually high power loads on the Beryllium limiter caused by Neutral Beam re-ionisation, and much cooler divertor target surfaces were observed during the recent JET tritium campaign. As both phenomena are driven by scrape-off layer (SOL) physics, the SOL features of 72 tritium H-mode discharges and their deuterium references have been studied. …
