An overview of recent physics results from NSTX
The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is currently being upgraded to operate at twice the toroidal field and plasma current (up to 1 T and 2 MA), with a second, more tangentially aimed neutral beam (NB) for current and rotation control, allowing for pulse lengths up to 5 s. Recent NSTX physics analyses have addressed topics that will allow NSTX-Upgrade to achieve the research goals cri...
متن کاملOverview of results from the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX)
The mission of the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is the demonstration of the physics basis required to extrapolate to the next steps for the spherical torus (ST), such as a plasma facing component test facility (NHTX) or an ST based component test facility (ST-CTF), and to support ITER. Key issues for the ST are transport, and steady state high β operation. To better understand ele...
متن کاملPlasma modelling results and shape control improvements for NSTX
New shape control implementations and dynamics studies on the National Spherical Torus eXperiment (NSTX) (Ono et al 2000 Nucl. Fusion 40 557–61) are summarized. In particular, strike point position, X-point height and squareness control, and two new system-identification methods/control-tuning algorithms were put into operation. The PID controller for the strike point was tuned by analysing the...
متن کاملMode-converted Electron Bernstein Waves for Heating and Current Drive in Nstx
The power coupled to electron Bernstein waves in a triplet mode conversion resonator from a fast X-mode at the plasma edge in NSTX is shown to be > 80% for fc, < f < 2fc,. The EBW damping in the plasma is strong and localized and, thus, should be useful for heating, current drive, or profile control.
متن کاملQuantum Optical Heating in Sonoluminescence Experiments
Sonoluminescence occurs when tiny bubbles filled with noble gas atoms are driven by a sound wave. Each cycle of the driving field is accompanied by a collapse phase in which the bubble radius decreases rapidly until a short but very strong light flash is emitted. The spectrum of the light corresponds to very high temperatures and hints at the presence of a hot plasma core. While everyone accept...
