Power Balance in Neutral Beam Heated Discharges on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX)
The understanding of power balance is an important aspect of magnetic confinement. It is particularly important to understand loss mechanisms and transport. The inherently low toroidal field of low aspect ratio machines means that much of the analysis of standard aspect ratio devices must be modified. Typically, analyses of confinement and transport in large aspect ratio devices use the approxi...
متن کاملTheory and observations of low frequency eigenmodes due to Alfvén acoustic coupling in toroidal fusion plasmas2
New theory developments and experimental observations of two classes of energetic particle driven instabilities are reported. First is a new class of global MHD solutions resulting from coupling of the Alfvénic and acoustic fundamental MHD oscillations due to geodesic curvature. These modes, predicted theoretically and numerically and called Beta-induced Alfvén-Acoustic Eigenmodes (BAAEs), have...
متن کاملMhd Calculations of Anode Plasmas
We have performed a series of idealized MHD calculations of the response of an anode plasma layer to the rising magnetic field in an applied-B ion diode. The purposes of this study were to consider Joule heating of the plasma layer, which could pose potential problems for lithium ion diodes, and the leakage of flux behind the ion-emitting surface, which is related to impedance collapse. We find...
متن کاملTurbulent Fluctuations with the Electron Gyro-Scale in NSTX Plasmas
Various theories and numerical simulations support the conjecture that the ubiquitous problem of anomalous electron transport in tokamaks may arise from an electron gyro-scale turbulence driven by the electron temperature gradient. To check whether such turbulence is present in plasmas of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX), measurements of turbulent fluctuations were performed with ...
متن کاملUltracold neutral plasmas.
Ultracold neutral plasmas occupy an exotic regime of plasma physics in which electrons form a swarming, neutralizing background for ions that sluggishly move in a correlated manner. Strong interactions between the charged particles give rise to surprising dynamics such as oscillations of the average kinetic energy during equilibration and extremely fast recombination. Such phenomena offer stimu...
