  1. 1. Neutron Spectroscopy : Instrumentation and Methods for Fusion Plasmas

    Författare :Henrik Sjöstrand; Göran Ericsson; Johan Frenje; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neutron spectroscopy; plasma diagnostics; fusion power; fusion; plasma heating; MPRu; JET; triton burn-up; ITER; neutron yield; calibration; Fusion; Fusion;

    Sammanfattning : When the heavy hydrogen isotopes deuterium (D) and tritium (T) undergo nuclear fusion large amounts of energy are released. At the Joint European Torus (JET) research is performed on how to harvest this energy. Two of the most important fusion reactions, d+d→3He+n (En = 2.5 MeV) and d+t→4He+n (En = 14 MeV), produce neutrons. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Coil Design and Related Studies for the Fusion-Fission Reactor Concept SFLM Hybrid

    Författare :Anders Hagnestål; Olov Ågren; Vladimir Moiseenko; Ladislav Bardos; Jan Scheffel; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion; Fission; Hybrid reactor; Actinides; Mirror Machine; Quadrupolar mirror; Coils; Fysik; Physics;

    Sammanfattning : A fusion-fission (hybrid) reactor is a combination of a fusion device and a subcritical fission reactor, where the fusion device acts as a neutron source and the power is mainly produced in the fission core. Hybrid reactors may be suitable for transmutation of transuranic isotopes in the spent nuclear fuel, due to the safety margin on criticality imposed by the subcritical fission core. LÄS MER

  4. 3. High Power Microwave Sources : design and experiments

    Författare :Cecilia Möller; Nils Brenning; Stefan Silfverskiöld; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Space physics; Rymdfysik; Plasma physics; Plasmafysik;

    Sammanfattning : High-Power Microwaves (HPM) can be used to intentionally disturb or destroy electronic equipment at a distance by inducing high voltages and currents. This thesis presents results from experiments with a narrow band HPM source, the vircator. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Turbulent impurity transport in tokamak fusion plasmas

    Författare :Andreas Skyman; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tokamaks; fluid theory; ion temperature gradient mode; impurity transport; trapped electron mode; fusion plasma physics; turbulence; e-science; Joint European Torus; gyrokinetic theory;

    Sammanfattning : With the enormous growth of high performance computing (HPC) over the last few decades, plasma physicists have gained access to a valuable instrument for investigating turbulent plasma behaviour. In this thesis, these tools are utilised for the study of particle transport in fusion devices of the tokamak variety, focusing in particular on the transport of impurities. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Gyrokinetic simulations of turbulent particle and heat transport in tokamaks

    Författare :Daniel Tegnered; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; tokamak; plasma physics; turbulence; transport; gyrokinetics; TEM; ITG; impurities; fusion; Joint European Torus;

    Sammanfattning : Fusion power is one of few viable sustainable means of energy production. The tokamak is arguable the most mature technology to magnetically confine fusion plasmas. In these devices, heat and particle transport is dominated by small-scale turbulent fluctuations. LÄS MER
