  1. 21. Effect of Partial Screening on Runaway-Electron Dynamics

    Författare :Linnea Hesslow; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fokker-Planck equation; runaway electrons; tokamak; fusion; plasma physics;

    Sammanfattning : One of the essential results of kinetic plasma physics is the runaway phenomenon: sufficiently large electric fields can accelerate a fraction of an electron population to relativistic energies. While such runaway electrons are fundamentally interesting objects of study in astrophysical settings, they are also of great practical relevance to fusion research. LÄS MER

  2. 22. Study of Collimated Neutron Flux Monitors for MAST and MAST Upgrade

    Författare :Siriyaporn Sangaroon; Göran Ericsson; Marco Cecconello; Matthias Weiszflog; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion; Plasma diagnostics; Neutron camera; collimated neutron flux monitor; MAST; MAST Upgrade; ITER; Applied Nuclear Physics; Tillämpad kärnfysik;

    Sammanfattning : Measurements of the neutron emission, resulting from nuclear fusion reactions between the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium, can provide a wealth of information on the confinement properties of fusion plasmas and how these are affected by Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic (MHD) instabilities.This thesis describes work aimed to develop neutron measurement techniques for nuclear fusion plasma experiments, specifically regarding the performance and design of collimated neutron flux monitors (neutron cameras) for the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak, MAST, and for MAST Upgrade.

  3. 23. Impact of material migration on plasma-facing components in tokamaks

    Författare :Alvaro Garcia Carrasco; Marek Rubel; Didier Mazon; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion; material migration; wall conditioning; diagnostic mirrors; plasma-facing materials; Physics; Fysik;

    Sammanfattning : Plasma-wall interaction plays an essential role in the performance and safety of a fusion reactor. This thesis focuses on the impact of material migration on plasma-facing components. It is based on experiments performed in tokamaks: JET, TEXTOR and ASDEX Upgrade. LÄS MER

  4. 24. Numerical studies of current profile control in the reversed-field pinch

    Författare :Jon-Erik Dahlin; Jan Scheffel; Roberto Paccagnella; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Reversed-Field Pinch; RFP; Current Profile Control; CPC; DEBS; DEBSP; active control; feedback; MHD.; Fusion; Fusion;

    Sammanfattning : The Reversed-Field Pinch (RFP) is one of the major alternatives for realizing energy production from thermonuclear fusion. Compared to alternative configurations (such as the tokamak and the stellarator) it has some advantages that suggest that an RFP reactor may be more economic. LÄS MER

  5. 25. Resonant magnetic perturbation effect on the tearing mode dynamics : Novel measurements and modeling of magnetic fluctuation induced momentum transport in the reversed-field pinch

    Författare :Richard Fridström; Per Brunsell; Lorenzo Frassinetti; Tommaso Bolzonella; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; RFP; reversed-field pinch; tokamak; tearing mode; RMP; fusion; plasma; resonant magnetic perturbation; stochastic; magnetic; field; viscosity; mode; locking; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The tearing mode (TM) is a resistive instability that can arise in magnetically confined plasmas. The TM can be driven unstable by the gradient of the plasma current. When the mode grows it destroys the magnetic field symmetry and reconnects the magnetic field in the form of a so-called magnetic island. LÄS MER
