2. 1. Fusion Plasma Observations at JET with the TOFOR Neutron Spectrometer : Instrumental Challenges and Physics Results

   Author : Maria Gatu Johnson; Matthias Weiszflog; Luciano Bertalot; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion; Plasma diagnostics; Neutron Spectrometry; TOFOR; JET; ITER; time-of-flight; plasma heating; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; Applied Nuclear Physics; Tillämpad kärnfysik;

   Abstract : The neutron spectrometer TOFOR was installed at JET in 2005 for high-rate observation of neutrons from reactions between two deuterium (D) ions. Neutron spectrometry as a fusion plasma diagnostic technique is invoked to obtain information about the velocity states of fusion fuel ions. READ MORE

4. 2. Neutron Spectrometry Techniques for Fusion Plasmas : Instrumentation and Performance

   Author : Erik Andersson Sundén; Göran Ericsson; Sean Conroy; Erik Traneus; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fusion; plasma diagnostics; neutron spectrometry; neutron spectroscopy; MPRu; magnetic proton recoil spectrometer; fusion; ITER; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; Fysik med inriktning mot tillämpad kärnfysik; Physics with specialization in Applied Nuclear Physics;

   Abstract : Neutron are emitted from a deuterium plasma with energies around 2.5 MeV. The neutron spectrum is intimately related to the ion velocity distribution of the plasma. As a consequence, the analysis of neutron energy spectra can give information of the plasma rotation, the ion temperature, heating efficiency and fusion power. READ MORE

5. 3. Fast wave heating and current drive in tokamaks

   Author : Martin Laxåback; Torbjörn Hellsten; Raymond Koch; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tokamak; JET; ITER; thermonuclear fusion; fast wave; heating; current drive; ion cyclotron resonance; polychromatic; finite orbit widths; RF-induced transport; neutral beam injection; fusion born alpha particles; magnetosonic eigenmodes; parasitic absorption; modelling; weighted Monte Carlo scheme; Fysik; Physics; Fysik;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns heating and current drive in tokamak plasmas using the fast magnetosonic wave in the ion cyclotron range of frequencies. Fast wave heating is a versatile heating method for thermonuclear fusion plasmas and can provide both ion and electron heating and non-inductive current drive. READ MORE

6. 4. Diagnostics for advanced fusion plasma scenarios

   Author : Mattias Kuldkepp; Elisabeth Rachlew-Källne; Fritz Wagner; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MSE; PEM; mirror evolution; fusion; diagnostics; plasma spectroscopy; reversed field pinch; spherical tokamak; intelligent shell; PPCD; MAST; ITER; Molecular physics; Molekylfysik;

   Abstract : Over the past decade, fusion research has showed the potential of being a main candidate for energy production for future generations. Further advances in improved fusion performance are therefore vital. This thesis focuses on advanced fusion plasma scenarios and their diagnostic requirements. READ MORE

7. 5. Neutron Spectroscopy : Instrumentation and Methods for Fusion Plasmas

   Author : Henrik Sjöstrand; Göran Ericsson; Johan Frenje; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Neutron spectroscopy; plasma diagnostics; fusion power; fusion; plasma heating; MPRu; JET; triton burn-up; ITER; neutron yield; calibration; Fusion; Fusion;

   Abstract : When the heavy hydrogen isotopes deuterium (D) and tritium (T) undergo nuclear fusion large amounts of energy are released. At the Joint European Torus (JET) research is performed on how to harvest this energy. Two of the most important fusion reactions, d+d→3He+n (En = 2.5 MeV) and d+t→4He+n (En = 14 MeV), produce neutrons. READ MORE
