    • Predictions of core plasma performance for the SPARC tokamak 

      Rodriguez Fernandez, Pablo; Howard, Nathan T.; Greenwald, M.J.; Creely, A.J.; Hughes, Jerry W.; e.a. (Cambridge University Press, 2020-02)
      SPARC is designed to be a high-field, medium-size tokamak aimed at achieving net energy gain with Ion Cyclotron Range-of-Frequencies (ICRF) as its primary auxiliary heating mechanism. Empirical predictions with conservative ...

    • Statistical description of coalescing magnetic islands via magnetic reconnection 

      Zhou, Muni; Wu, David H.; Loureiro, Nuno F.; Uzdensky, Dmitri A. (Cambridge University Press, 2021-06)
      The physical picture of interacting magnetic islands provides a useful paradigm for certain plasma dynamics in a variety of physical environments, such as the solar corona, the heliosheath and the Earth’s magnetosphere. ...

    • Scaling of L-mode heat flux for ITER and COMPASS-U divertors, based on five tokamaks 

      Horacek, J.; Adamek, J.; Komm, M.; Seidl, J.; Vondracek, P.; e.a. (IOP, 2020-05)
      This contribution aims to improve existing scalings of the L-mode power decay length Lambda_q_OMP, especially for plasma configurations with strike points at the ITER-relevant location—closed vertical divertor targets. We ...
