5. Burning plasmas and fast particles

Invited

Magnetic fusion is now approaching next-step D-T burning plasma experiments in ITER, which will be mostly self-heated by fusion-born alpha-particles. Burning plasmas will be a highly nonlinear medium, and predicting with confidence the alpha-particle heating and alpha-particle losses in such plasmas is a very challenging task. To advance it, dedicated experimental studies are being performed...

64. Fast ions as a tool for turbulent transport suppression on JET

5. Burning plasmas and fast particles

Invited

Exploiting mechanisms to actively control and reduce turbulence is essential for maximizing the performance of fusion devices. Already in 2010, it became clear that low levels of turbulent transport observed in several JET experiments could not be explained by the usual turbulence reduction mechanisms such as strong plasma rotation and magnetic shear. This talk summarizes main analysis and...
