"Visible spectroscopy of highly charged tungsten ions with the JET charge exchange diagnostic"

A Thorman E Litherland-Smith S Menmuir N Hawkes M O'Mullane E Delabie B Lomanowski J M Fontdecaba S Scully

Visible emission from a broad range of tungsten charge states has complicated plasma ion temperature and toroidal rotation measurements on the JET tokamak since the installation of the ITER-like wall. A plethora of charge exchange emission lines from ions up to W 56+ and 21 suspected magnetic dipole emission lines have so far been observed. In part…

"Isotope identity experiments in JET-ILW: L-mode regime"

CF Maggi H Weisen FJ Casson F Auriemma R Lorenzini H Nordman E Delabie F Eriksson J Flanagan D Keeling D King L Horvath S Menmuir A Salmi G Sips T Tala I Voitsekhovich JET Contributors

NBI-heated L-mode plasmas have been obtained in JET with the Be/W ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) in H and D, with matched profiles of the dimensionless plasma parameters in the plasma core confinement region and same Ti/Te and Zeff. The achieved isotope identity indicates that the confinement scale invariance principle is satisfied in the core confine…

"Isotope dependence of the type I ELMy H-mode pedestal in JET-ILW Hydrogen and Deuterium plasmas"

L. Horvath C.F. Maggi A. Chankin S. Saarelma A.R. Field E. Belonohy A. Boboc G. Corrigan E.G. Delabie J. Flanagan L. Frassinetti C. Giroud D. Harting D. Keeling D. King M. Maslov G.F. Matthews S. Menmuir S.A. Silburn J. Simpson A.C.C Sips H. Weisen K.J. Gibson and JET Contributors

The pedestal structure, ELM losses and linear MHD stability are analysed in a series of JET-ILW H and D type I ELMy H-mode plasmas. The pedestal pressure (pPED) is typically higher in D than in H at the same input power, with the difference mainly due to lower density in H than in D. At the same input power, the pedestal electron pressur…

"Control of H:D isotope mixture with pellets in JET"

Martin Valovic Y Baranov G Buchanan J Citrin E Delabie L Frassinetti J M Fontdecaba L Garzotti C Giroud R McKean E Lerche V Kiptily F Köchl M Marin M Maslov S Menmuir G Tvalashvili H Weisen the JET Contributors

Deuterium pellets are injected into initially pure hydrogen H-mode plasma in order to control H:D isotope mixture. The pellets are deposited in outer 20% of minor radius, similar to that expected in ITER creating transiently hollow electron density profiles. The isotope mixture of H:D ~ 45:55% is obtained in the core with pellet fuelling throughput…

"Improved EDGE2D-EIRENE Simulations of JET ITER-like Wall L-mode Discharges Utilising Poloidal VUV/visible Spectral Emission Profiles"

K.D. Lawson M. Groth P. Belo S. Brezinsek G. Corrigan A. Czarnecka E. Delabie P. Drewelow D. Harting I. KsiaSek C.F. Maggi C. Marchetto A.G. Meigs S. Menmuir M.F. Stamp S. Wiesen JET-EFDA Contributors

A discrepancy in the divertor radiated powers between EDGE2D-EIRENE simulations, both with and without drifts, and JET-ILW experiments employing a set of NBI-heated L-mode discharges with step-wise density variation is investigated. Results from a VUV/visible poloidally scanning spectrometer are used together with bolometric measurements to determi…

"Carbon charge exchange analysis in the ITER-like wall environment"

S. Menmuir C. Giroud T. M. Biewer I. H. Coffey E. Delabie N. C. Hawkes M. Sertoli JET EFDA Contributors

Charge exchange spectroscopy has long been a key diagnostic tool for fusion plasmas and is well developed in devices with Carbon Plasma-Facing Components. Operation with the ITER-like wall at JET has resulted in changes to the spectrum in the region of the Carbon charge exchange line at 529.06nm and demonstrates the need to revise the core charge e…
