(DPP) W3-7 Plasma Physics and Technology | Physique et technologie des plasmas (DPP)
- Stephan Reuter (Polytechnique Montreal)
Description
Recent Advances in Plasma Physics and Technology (DPP) - Plasma physics and technology is set out to change how we live. For example, plasmas are used for dry reforming of CO2 and for generation of renewable fuels and green fertilizer. Plasmas can remove forever chemicals and plasma reactors for fusion based energy promise to be the source of green energy. The symposium will present recent advances in plasma physics research in plasma modelling, diagnostics, and reactor design of thermal and non-thermal plasmas.
The penetration of edge localized mode (ELM) into internal transport barrier (ITB) plasma has been studied on the EAST tokamak with flat central safety factor profile q(0) ~ 1 recently. The experiment indicates that when the ELM inward penetration radius reaches to the ITB foot region, a significant influence on the ITB plasma is manifested, leading to the shrinking or collapse of the ITB on...
A high-speed vacuum ultraviolet imaging (VUVI) system for edge plasma studies is being developed on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST). Its key optics is composed of an inverse type of Schwarzschild telescope made of a set of Mo/Si multilayer mirrors, a micro-channel plate (MCP) equipped with a P47 phosphor screen and a high-speed camera with CMOS sensors. In order to...
Keda Torus eXperiment (KTX), a medium-sized reversed field pinch (RFP) device commissioned in 2015 at the University of Science and Technology of China, serves as a complementary facility to existing international RFP programs. Designed for plasma confinement optimization through enhanced wall conditions and high plasma currents up to 1 MA, KTX has undergone systematic upgrades in critical...
Compact torus (CT) injection, a critical technology for core fueling in magnetic confinement fusion, requires precise optimization of its acceleration dynamics to achieve efficient plasma delivery. This study presents a comprehensive investigation of CT acceleration in the newly developed KTX-CTI injector integrated into the Keda Torus eXperiment (KTX) reversed field pinch device. By employing...
