Dependence of fast-ion transport on the nature of the turbulence in the Large Plasma Device
Strong turbulent waves (dn=n 0.5, f 5-40 kHz) are observed in the upgraded Large Plasma Device [W. Gekelman, H. Pfister, Z. Lucky, J. Bamber, D. Leneman, and J. Maggs, Rev. Sci. Instrum. 62, 2875 (1991)] on density gradients produced by an annular obstacle. Energetic lithium ions (Efast= Ti 300, qfast=qs 10) orbit through the turbulent region. Scans with a collimated analyzer and with probes gi...
متن کاملInteraction Between Fast Ions and Microturbulence in Thermonuclear Devices: Theory and Modelling
The work carried out in this thesis focuses on the interaction between fast ions and turbulence. The aim of the project is to explore this phenomenon and develop the numerical framework required for investigations on present day machines and predictions for burning plasmas. The analysis of the background plasma turbulence and the resulting fast ion diffusivities is carried out with the gyrokine...

متن کاملThree-dimensional measurements of non-diffusive fast ion transport in TORPEX
In the basic plasma physics device TORPEX, progress in the fundamental understanding of supra-thermal ion transport is achieved by extensive sets of three-dimensional (3D) data, together with numerical simulations of supra-thermal ion tracers in fluid turbulent fields. A miniaturized lithium 6+ ion source injects fast ions with energies up to 1 KeV and a double-gridded energy analyzer is used a...
متن کاملAssessment of turbulent beam ion redistribution in tokamaks through velocity space-dependent gyrokinetic analyses
We present the interface between a gyrokinetic code and a guiding centre code dedicated to the study of fast ion turbulent transport. A set of velocity space-dependent (kinetic) transport quantities, representing the link between the two codes, is presented. The code suite is applied to DEMO and TCV plasmas. While negligible alpha particle transport is observed for both tokamaks, important beam...
