1. 1. Fast wave heating and current drive in tokamaks

   Författare :Martin Laxåback; Torbjörn Hellsten; Raymond Koch; KTH; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tokamak; JET; ITER; thermonuclear fusion; fast wave; heating; current drive; ion cyclotron resonance; polychromatic; finite orbit widths; RF-induced transport; neutral beam injection; fusion born alpha particles; magnetosonic eigenmodes; parasitic absorption; modelling; weighted Monte Carlo scheme; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis concerns heating and current drive in tokamak plasmas using the fast magnetosonic wave in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies. Fast wave heating is a versatile heating method for thermonuclear fusion plasmas and can provide both ion and electron heating and non-inductive current drive. LÄS MER

3. 2. Turbulent and neoclassical transport in tokamak plasmas

   Författare :Istvan Pusztai; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; thermonuclear fusion; tokamaks; microinstabilities; transport analysis; isotope effect; impurity transport; neoclassical transport; transport barriers; turbulent transport;

   Sammanfattning : One of the greatest challenges of thermonuclear fusion is to understand, predict and to some extent control particle and energy transport in fusion plasmas. In the present thesis we consider theoretical and experimental aspects of collisional and turbulent transport in tokamak plasmas. LÄS MER

4. 3. Neutron Spectroscopy Studies of Heating Effects in Fusion Plasmas

   Författare :Hans Henriksson; Jan Källne; Joaquín Sánchez; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Nuclear physics; neutron emission spectroscopy; diagnostic; fusion research; plasma heating; Kärnfysik; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; Applied Nuclear Physics; tillämpad kärnfysik;

   Sammanfattning : High power fusion plasmas produced in the world’s largest facility for magnetic confinement experiments (JET), have been studied using the neutron emission measured with the magnetic proton recoil (MPR) spectrometer. The MPR has been used to observe plasmas since 1996 including those of deuterium-tritium leading to several fusion records and corresponding observational achievements of neutron emission spectroscopy.

5. 4. Fast ions and turbulent particle transport in tokamaks

   Författare :Frida Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NBI; numerical modelling; turbulence; drift waves; bump-on-tail; density peaking; Fusion plasma physics; wave-particle interaction;

   Sammanfattning : The presence of highly energetic (fast) ions, be it fusion born alpha particles or ions accelerated by auxiliary heating schemes, can affect the heating and transport of all particles in the plasma through two main mechanisms. First, fast ions may excite fast ion driven instabilities. LÄS MER

7. 5. Dynamics of Fast Ions in Tokamaks

   Författare :Per Helander; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY;

   Sammanfattning : Fast ions play a prominent role in the heating of tokamak plasmas by, e.g., neutral- beam injection, ion-cyclotron-resonance heating, and alpha-particle heating. In this thesis, a number of physical and mathematical problems concerning the dynamics of fast ions in tokamaks are addressed. LÄS MER
