  2. 1. Diagnosing Fuel Ions in Fusion Plasmas using Neutron Emission Spectroscopy

    Author : Carl Hellesen; Göran Ericsson; Sean Conroy; William W Heidbrink; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fusion; plasma diagnostics; neutron spectroscopy; NBI heating; ICRF heating; energetic ions; Fusion; Fusion; Nuclear physics; Kärnfysik; Applied Nuclear Physics; Tillämpad kärnfysik;

    Abstract : Neutron emission spectra, measured with the time of flight spectrometer TOFOR, at the joint European torus (JET) are presented in this thesis. TOFOR has been in use since 2005, routinely measuring the neutron emission from JET plasmas. READ MORE

  4. 2. The dynamics of Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic ions in toroidal plasmas

    Author : Emmi Tholerus; Thomas Johnson; Torbjörn Hellsten; Duarte Borba; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion plasma physics; Tokamak; Wave–particle interactions; Toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes; Bump-on-tail instabilities; Magnetohydrodynamics; Nonlinear dynamics; Quasilinear dynamics; Hamiltonian mechanics; Monte Carlo method; ICRH; FWCD; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The future fusion power plants that are based on magnetic confinement will deal with plasmas that inevitably contain energetic (non-thermal) particles. These particles come, for instance, from fusion reactions or from external heating of the plasma. READ MORE

  5. 3. The dynamics of Alfvén eigenmodes excited by energetic ions in toroidal plasmas

    Author : Emmi Tholerus; Torbjörn Hellsten; Thomas Johnson; Lars-Göran Eriksson; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fusion plasma physics; tokamak; wave-particle interactions; toroidal Alfvén eigenmodes; bump-on-tail instabilities; magnetohydrodynamics; nonlinear dynamics; quasilinear dynamics; Hamiltonian mechanics; Monte Carlo method; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : Experiments for the development of fusion power that are based on magnetic confinement deal with plasmas that inevitably contain energetic (non-thermal) particles. These particles come e.g. from fusion reactions or from external heating of the plasma. READ MORE

  6. 4. Instrumentation for energetic Neutral atom measurements at Mars, Venus and The Earth

    Author : Klas Brinkfeldt; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Energetic neutral atoms; instruments and techniques; mass spectrometry; microchannel plates; solid state detectors; solar wind interaction; planets; magnetosphere; exosphere; ring current; Space physics; Rymdfysik;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with the development and calibrations of sensors to measure energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) at Mars, Venus, and the Earth. ENAs are formed in charge exchange processes between energetic, singly--charged ions and a cold neutral gas. READ MORE

  7. 5. Fast ions and turbulent particle transport in tokamaks

    Author : Frida Eriksson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NBI; numerical modelling; turbulence; drift waves; bump-on-tail; density peaking; Fusion plasma physics; wave-particle interaction;

    Abstract : The presence of highly energetic (fast) ions, be it fusion born alpha particles or ions accelerated by auxiliary heating schemes, can affect the heating and transport of all particles in the plasma through two main mechanisms. First, fast ions may excite fast ion driven instabilities. READ MORE
