The debris removal effectiveness is evaluated using visual inspection with three types of dry debris: flour, sand, and metallic swarf. These debris particles are chosen for their property mimicking contaminants found in real conditions. Brushing operational parameters such as the brush angle of attack and the brush penetration have been investig…

The development of improved designs for components which will be subject to high heat fluxes has been identified as a critical challenge for the realisation of commercial fusion power. This paper presents details of a facility which allows early verification of thermofluid and thermomechananical performance of prototype components and enables compa…

We have monitored the full-stage precipitate evolution in Cu-0.55Cr-0.07Zr alloy during aging at 480 C using positron annihilation spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography. Cr-rich precipitates form during the early stages of aging, and after 5.5 min the distribution is characterised by a number density of 8102…

This Letter reports on observed interplay between beam-driven modes of sweeping frequency (chirping modes) and transitions to the enhanced global confinement regime (H-mode) and back to the low confinement regime (L-mode) in the spherical tokamak ST40. The H-modes of plasma confinement are identified from decreased intensity of Dα signal and f…

The relative role of particle transport and edge fuelling in setting the H-mode density pedestal is still a key open question [1]. Although reduced pedestal models have proven successful in predicting the pedestal pressure for a wide range of plasma scenarios [2,3,4], they lack a first principle based, predictive model for the edge density. Predict…

Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) is a flexible auxiliary heating method for tokamak plasmas, capable of being efficiently coupled to the various plasma configurations required in the Tritium and mixed DeuteriumTritium Experimental campaign (DTE2) on the JET device. High NBI power was required for high fusion yield and alpha particle studies and to …

A detailed description of the Langmuir probe system on MAST Upgrade is presented. The system features 850 tile embedded probes, and 40 bespoke electronic modules which each have the capability to drive and acquire data from up to 16 probes in a time multiplexed manner. The system provides spatio-temporal resolved measurements (1 cm and $\\\\sim$1 m…
