Abstract

The system of diagnostics, data acquisition and control foreseen on the Divertor Test Tokamak experiment (DTT) is presented. Conceived in an integrated way, the control system meets the specifications of a fusion experiment devoted to the study of the power exhaust problem in view of DEMO. Diagnostics and feedback control are particularly functional to the need of maintaining the plasma close to equilibrium in situations prone to instabilities where the plasma wall interaction is optimized. Strongly oriented to the exploration of control methods suitable for DEMO, DTT will specifically experiment on physics and engineering model based control systems. Control and data flow schemes are inspired by those of ITER. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Compact Radiative Divertor Experiments at ASDEX Upgrade and Their Consequences for a Reactor

T. Lunt, M. Bernert, D. Brida, P. David, M. Faitsch, O. Pan, D. Stieglitz, U. Stroth, A. Redl

Summary: We propose a new concept to address the power exhaust challenge in magnetically confined fusion plasma, utilizing an X-point radiator to dissipate most of the exhaust power. Despite its close proximity to the confinement region, the X point is far away from the hot fusion plasma, allowing for the coexistence of a cold and dense plasma with strong radiation potential. High performance experiments in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak demonstrate the feasibility of this concept.

Model-based impurity emission front control using deuterium fueling and nitrogen seeding in TCV

J. T. W. Koenders, A. Perek, B. Kool, O. Fevrier, T. Ravensbergen, C. Galperti, B. P. Duval, C. Theiler, M. van Berkel

Summary: This paper presents the first result of using nitrogen-seeded exhaust feedback control to manipulate the NII impurity emission front in TCV. It demonstrates that the NII front is representative of a colder plasma region and its position can be controlled using nitrogen seeding or deuterium fueling as actuators. The response of the NII front to nitrogen actuation is stronger but slower compared to deuterium actuation. However, moving the NII front back to the target position after pushing it towards the x-point is challenging.

Taliercio, P. Zaccaria, R. Zagorski, L. Zanotto, M. Zaupa, M. Zuin, V. Toigo

Summary: This contribution provides an overview of recent operations and main results of cesium injection in the SPIDER negative ion source. Experiments without cesium injection were conducted to verify operational parameters and determine the operational region, while preliminary cesium experiments showed increased negative ion current and decreased co-extracted electrons, with control parameters influencing beam uniformity. Non-Gaussian tails were identified in the angular distribution perpendicular to beam propagation direction. A major shutdown is planned for late 2021 to address operational issues and make scheduled modifications, aiming to meet ITER requirements.

Summary: The current method for evaluating the fusion power throughput of a deuterium-tritium (DT) reactor relies on determining the absolute number of 14 MeV neutrons produced in the DT plasma. An independent method based on absolute counting of 17 MeV gamma rays produced by the T(D, gamma)He-5 reaction has been developed. This paper presents the development of a scintillating Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) based pre-amplifier for gamma-ray detection, which is insensitive to neutrons and optimized for use in a neutron-rich environment.

Summary: ITER plans to use two heating neutral beam injectors plus an optional one as part of its auxiliary heating and current drive system. The expected power per injector is higher than existing facilities worldwide. To enable this development, a Neutral Beam Test Facility (NBTF) has been established, consisting of two test beds called SPIDER and MITICA. SPIDER focuses on developing and characterizing efficient negative ion sources, while MITICA is a full-scale prototype of the ITER Neutral Beam Injector. The lessons learned from the NBTF implementation and future perspectives are discussed.

Numerical and experimental investigations of a microwave interferometer for the negative ion source SPIDER

R. Agnello, R. Cavazzana, I. Furno, R. Jacquier, R. Pasqualotto, E. Sartori, G. Serianni

Summary: The electron density and co-extracted electrons near the extraction grids are important factors in the operation of negative ion sources for fusion reactors. A 100 GHz heterodyne microwave interferometer is being explored as a possible diagnostic tool for measuring electron density in the plasma extraction region. Despite the challenges posed by the source metal walls and the long distance between the microwave modules and the vacuum vessel, preliminary tests have shown that electron density measurement is possible under certain conditions. The main issue in these tests is the decoupling of the one-pass signal from spurious multipaths generated by microwave beam reflections.

Summary: A novel hard x-ray (HXR) spectrometer, called runaway electron gamma-ray detection system, has been developed for measuring bremsstrahlung radiation from runaway electrons in fusion plasmas. The system consists of a 1'x1' LaBr3:Ce scintillator crystal and a photomultiplier tube, providing an energy dynamic range exceeding 20 MeV and an energy resolution of 3% at 661.7 keV. The detector gain remains stable even under severe loads, with a gain shift below 3% at HXR counting rates over 1 MCps. The system's outstanding performance allows unprecedented studies of the time-dependent runaway electron energy distribution function in recent experiments.

ORBIT simulations of fast ion power loads on the wall of the Divertor Tokamak Test

Marco Gobbin, Gianluca Spizzo

Summary: Neutral beam injection in tokamaks can result in localized fast ion losses, known as 'hot spots', despite overall losses being low. This paper discusses hot spot formation in the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) project, showing that fast ions produce hot spots at the beam injection and exit toroidal angles. However, the power load in these hot spots remains below the tolerance of plasma-facing components.

Conceptual design of the DTT in-vessel equatorial coils

R. Ambrosino, R. Albanese, E. Acampora, A. Castaldo, F. Crisanti, R. Iervolino, A. Lampasi

Summary: For the next generation fusion devices, in-vessel coils are crucial for handling elongated plasmas and alternative configurations, but they are highly sensitive to the vertical unstable mode. A pair of equatorial in-vessel coils connected in anti-series can effectively address the vertical control problem. Independent equatorial coils can also provide fast radial control to protect plasma facing components during fast plasma transients. However, they are vulnerable to induced current during disruptive events. In this paper, a solution for the conceptual design of in-vessel equatorial coils is presented, which ensures control performance and robustness in case of disruption, as demonstrated by simulations.
