Pellet Fuelling and ELMy H-mode Physics in JET
As the reference operating regime for ITER, investigations of the ELMy H-mode have received high priority in the JET experimental programme. Recent experiments have concentrated in particular on operation simultaneously at high density and high confinement using high field side (HFS) pellet launch. The enhanced fuelling efficiency of HFS pellet fuelling is found to scale favourably to a large m...
متن کاملStudies of Eda H-mode in Alcator C-mod
The advantages of EDA H-modes include good energy confinement and no impurity accumulation or large ELMs. In EDA, the edge pressure gradients are at or above the ideal ballooning limit but are not relaxed by type I ELMs; instead a continuous process would seem to be at work. This process is probably related to broadband and quasi-coherent fluctuations which are seen with reflectometry, probes, ...
متن کاملBurning Plasma Physics Issues in a Possible Jet Upgrade
Record fusion yield (16MW) and fusion energy (22MJ) have been achieved in JET during the DTE1 campaign in 1997 [1], [2], respectively with an ELM-free H-mode and with an ELMy Hmode. Alpha heating has been observed [3] with alpha power in the range of 1.2MW. Significant fusion yield (up to 8MW) has been achieved with advanced scenarios [4]. These results have generated a large number of signific...
متن کاملImpurity-seeded ELMy H-modes in JET, with high density and reduced heat load
Experiments performed at JET during the past two years show that, in high triangularity H-mode plasmas with Ip = 2.5 MA, ne/nGr ≈ 1.0, it is possible to radiate separately up to ≈40% of the total injected power on closed flux surfaces in the pedestal region (argon seeding) and up to ≈50% of the injected power in the divertor region (nitrogen seeding), while maintaining the confinement improveme...
متن کاملInvestigations of impurity seeding and radiation control for long-pulse and high-density H-mode plasmas in JT-60U
Reduction of heat loading appropriate for the plasma facing components (PFCs) such as the divertor and the first wall is crucial for a fusion reactor. Impurity gas seeding is one of techniques to decrease peak heat flux to the divertor both in steady-state and transient phases. Power handling by large radiation power loss has been studied in the ELMy H-mode plasmas on JT-60U with argon (Ar) gas...
