In magnetic confinement devices, boundary turbulence is responsible for transporting plasma and energy from the well-confined region towards the material surfaces where it can severely harm reactor relevant machines. It is therefore essential to develop a solid understanding of the mechanisms behind the transport in the edge of the plasma. Large fl…

"Towards an automatic filament detector with a Faster R-CNN on MAST-U"
30th Symposium on Fusion Technology (SOFT), Giardini Naxos, Messina, Sicily, 16-21 September 2018

In the present magnetically confined plasmas, the prediction of particle loading on material surfaces is a primary concern in view of the protection of plasma facing components for next step devices. Thus, an understanding of filament dynamics is needed. In this context, this work aims to develop an automatic detector for filaments arising in the M…
