  1. 1. The dynamics of Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic ions in toroidal plasmas

    Författare :Emmi Tholerus; Thomas Johnson; Torbjörn Hellsten; Duarte Borba; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion plasma physics; Tokamak; Wave–particle interactions; Toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes; Bump-on-tail instabilities; Magnetohydrodynamics; Nonlinear dynamics; Quasilinear dynamics; Hamiltonian mechanics; Monte Carlo method; ICRH; FWCD; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The future fusion power plants that are based on magnetic confinement will deal with plasmas that inevitably contain energetic (non-thermal) particles. These particles come, for instance, from fusion reactions or from external heating of the plasma. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Nonlinear dynamics of frequency sweeping energetic particle modes in tokamaks

    Författare :Frida Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; wave-particle interaction; Fusion plasma physics; bump-on-tail; toroidal Alfvén eigenmode; holes and clumps;

    Sammanfattning : In a burning plasma, such as the next generation tokamak experiment ITER, significant numbers of highly energetic particles will be produced via nuclear reactions. The presence of energetic particles, be it fusion born alpha particles or ions accelerated by auxiliary heating schemes, may excite kinetic instabilities and thereby affect the heating and transport of all particles in the plasma.

  4. 3. 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

  5. 4. Thermonuclear Instabilities and Plasma Edge Transport in Tokamaks

    Författare :Tünde Fülöp; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : High-energy ions generated by fusion reactions in a burning fusion plasma may give rise to different types of wave instabilities. The present thesis investigates two types of such instabilities which recently have been observed in fusion experiments: the Toroidal Alfvén Eigenmode (TAE) instability and the magnetoacoustic cyclotron instability (MCI) which is predicted to give rise to ion cyclotron emission (ICE).
