Plasma turbulence plays a key role in determining the spatial-temporal evolution of plasmas in astrophysical, geophysical and laboratory contexts. In particular, turbulence on disparate spatial and temporal scales limits the level of confinement achievable in magnetic confinement fusion experiments and therefore limits the viability of sustainable fusion power. MAST-U is a well-equipped...

ECE bursting is a phenomenon in tokamaks where very intense bursts of microwave power are observed at electron cyclotron emission frequencies. The bursts have a narrow frequency width, ~2-4 GHz, and are generally short lived pulses, ~2 ยตs, but are very intense, sometimes as high as milliwatt level, which is much higher than the thermal ECE level of 100โs of nanowatts. Since a general...

ITER envisages Electron Cyclotron Wall Condition (ECWC) after DMS events, to assist fueling changes and for tritium inventory control in its operational campaigns during which the toroidal magnetic field is continuously present. In PFPO-1, ECWC will operate mostly at the second harmonic X2 ECH wave polarization from upper and equatorial launchers. The here presented experiments in ASDEX...

The new Divertor Tokamak Test facility (DTT [1]), aimed to perform studies regarding power exhaust and divertor load and currently under construction, will be provided with a mix of additional heating systems. The Electron Cyclotron Resonance Heating (ECRH) system is foreseen to accomplish several tasks: plasma heating, MHD control and non-inductive current drive (CD) for transformer...

Electron cyclotron heating (ECH) breakdown and burn-through assist has been adopted to make the ITER start-up, which uses a low toroidal electric field of about 0.3 V/m, more robust. Related studies have been carried out on many fusion machines such as DIII-D, JT-60U, JET, Tore Supra and EAST. However, the required ECH power to ensure an effective breakdown assist at ITER is not yet clear....

The requirements of a microwave heating and current drive (mm-wave HCD) system applied to a commercial fusion reactor differ significantly from the present-day systems used for magnetic confinement research devices. The latter require versatile systems that can provide a variety of HCD applications to adapt to changing physics objectives when investigating the optimum plasma scenarios for a...

The electron Bernstein wave (EBW) [1] is an electrostatic mode in magnetized plasmas. The EBW has no limitation of electron density on propagation and the power is absorbed at the electron cyclotron resonance layer. The EBW can also drive plasma current because the wavenumber parallel to the magnetic field $k_{\parallel}$ can be large. The mode conversion process is essential to excite the EBW...

Electron cyclotron (EC) radiation in ITER due to high electron temperature and high magnetic field besides its important role in power loss balance [1, 2], will be a source of additional thermal and electromagnetic loads for microwave and optical diagnostics [3]. EC radiation from the plasma dominates over the nominal stray radiation from electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and current...

The Electron Cyclotron Emission (ECE) diagnostic has the key function of measuring the core electron temperature profile and electron temperature fluctuation, from the intensity of electron cyclotron radiation emitted from the plasma along the major radius. Other roles of this diagnostic include the measurement of plasma energy, radiated power, runaway electron behaviour, edge electron...

The plug-in efficiency of Electron-Cyclotron-Resonance-Heating (ECRH) systems of nuclear fusion facilities is important for the performance of existing devices and will become a vital performance parameter of future facilities that will have installed multiple tens of megawatts of microwave power. Gyrotrons are the sources of any ECRH system. Today, a gyrotron provides 1-2 MW output power at...

The wave kinetic equation [1, 2] has proved a suitable tool to tackle the problem of wave scattering from density ๏ฌuctuations in fusion plasmas in the high-frequency limit. Its numerical implementation in the Monte Carlo code WKBeam [3] allowed a detailed study of the e๏ฌects of beam scattering to be expected in ITER [4, 5]. This approach, although more efficient than a direct numerical...

The ITER ECRH&CD system is composed by 24 gyrotrons at 170 GHz that will deliver 20 MW at the plasma. Up to 6.7 MW will be injected in the empty vacuum vessel at the beginning of each plasma discharge to provide the gas breakdown. In that phase and when the plasma absorption is non ideal a certain level of EC non-absorbed power, usually addressed as stray radiation, will be present. The EC...
