Disruption halo current rotation scaling on Alcator C-Mod and HBT-EP
(AIP, 2022-12)Asymmetric halo currents (HCs) can exert large net forces on the vacuum vessel and other components during disruptions on tokamaks. The displacements caused by these forces can then be amplified if these asymmetric forces ... -
Reaching a Burning Plasma and Ignition Using Smaller Capsules/Hohlraums, Higher Radiation Temperatures and Thicker Ablator/Ice on the National Ignition Facility
(AIP, 2022-09)In indirect-drive implosions, the final core hot spot energy and pressure and hence neutron yield attainable in 1D increases with increasing laser peak power and hence radiation drive temperature at fixed capsule and ... -
The role of toroidal rotation in the very high energy confinement quality observed in super H-mode experiments on DIII-D
(AIP, 2021-06)In this paper, we report the key role that toroidal rotation and the related ExB shear physics played in the very high energy confinement quality (H98y2>1.5) of super H-mode experiments on DIII-D. Experiments show that the ...
