Microwave diagnostics damage by parametric decay instabilities during electron cyclotron resonance heating in ASDEX Upgrade
(IOP, 2021-07)We present observations of microwave diagnostics damage in three discharges employing third-harmonic X-mode electron cylcotron resonance heating (ECRH) at the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak. In all cases, the diagnostics damage is ... -
The crucial role of diagnostics in achieving ignition on the National Ignition Facility (NIF)
(AIP, 2024-03)Well over 100 diagnostics can operate on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) as a result of several decades of development on NIF, and before that on Nova, OMEGA, and earlier LLNL lasers. A subset of these have guided the ... -
Isotope effects on energy transport in the core of ASDEX-Upgrade tokamak plasmas: Turbulence measurements and model validation
(AIP, 2023-08)Design and operation of future tokamak fusion reactors using a deuterium-tritium 50:50 mix requires a solid under- standing of how energy confinement properties change with ion mass. This study looks at how turbulence and ...
