Overview of Physics Studies on ASDEX Upgrade
The ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) programme is geared towards developing the physics basis for ITER and (EU)-DEMO and is jointly executed with the EUROfusion Medium Size Tokamak task force. Integrated scenario development to prepare future device operation, detailed physics studies to improve predictability of fusion devices and testing of fusion relevant technologies are all part of the comprehensive programme. Here, the full tungsten wall not only requires efficient techniques to control W accumulation, but also modifies the edge and scrape-off-layer (SOL) conditions (e.g. due to changes of the neutral influx from the wall).
