Real-time measurement of edge plasma parameters for the optimization of the WEST tokamak performance
GECF : Plasma physics and laser-matter interactionsAix-Marseille Université Physique et Sciences de la Matière (ED352) CadaracheThe control of heat fluxes at the plasma edge, and particularly in the divertor — a dedicated volume where these fluxes are focused — is a major challenge in research on magnetic confinement fusion.… -
Control of trapped electron mode turbulence with an electron cyclotron resonant source
GTSN : Plasma physics and laser-matter interactionsAix-Marseille Université Physique et Sciences de la Matière (ED352) CadaracheThe performance of a tokamak-type fusion power plant in term of energy gain will be limited by turbulent transport. The instability of trapped electron modes is one of the main instabilities causing… -
Real-Time control of MHD instabilities during WEST long pulses
GMPP : Plasma physics and laser-matter interactionsAix-Marseille Université Physique et Sciences de la Matière (ED352) CadaracheIn magnetically confined plasmas, low-frequency (typ. 1-10 kHz) large-scale magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities represent a risk for performance and plasma stability. During long pulses in the… -
Impact of magnetohydrodynamic on access and dynamics of X-point radiator regimes (XPR)
GEDS : Plasma physics and laser-matter interactionsAix-Marseille Université Physique et Sciences de la Matière (ED352) CadaracheITER and future fusion powerplants will need to operate without degrading too much the plasma facing components (PFC) in the divertor, the peripheral element with is dedicated to heat and particle… -
Study of impurity transport in negative and positive triangularity plasmas
GEDS : Plasma physics and laser-matter interactionsAix-Marseille Université Physique et Sciences de la Matière (ED352) CadaracheNuclear fusion in a tokamak is a promising source of energy. However, a question arises: which plasma configuration is most likely to produce net energy? In order to contribute to answering this,… -
Plasma real time control by calorimetry
GP3 : Plasma physics and laser-matter interactionsAix-Marseille Université Sciences pour l’Ingénieur : Mécanique, Physique, Micro et Nanoélectronique (SIMPMN) CadaracheInside thermonuclear fusion devices, plasma facing components are subject to intense heat fluxes. The WEST tokamak has water cooled plasma facing components to limit their heating. Calorimetric… -
Resilience of fusion plasmas in a metallic environment, from WEST to ITER
GEDS : Plasma physics and laser-matter interactionsAix-Marseille Université Physique et Sciences de la Matière (ED352) CadaracheMagnetic confinement nuclear fusion is an attractive option for contributing to the future energy mix, and the ITER project will, in the coming decade, mark a new milestone in the scientific and… -
Gyrokinetic modelling of the nonlinear interaction between energetic particle-driven instabilities and microturbulence in tokamak plasmas
GEDS : Plasma physics and laser-matter interactionsAix-Marseille Université Physique et Sciences de la Matière (ED352) CadaracheTokamak plasmas are strongly nonlinear systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium, in which instabilities of very different spatial scales coexist, ranging from large-scale macroscopic oscillations…
