Application of IBW-induced transport barrier in TFTR

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

Experimental results obtained in PBX-M suggest that IBW can be used to induce locally a transport barrier and improve core confinement. Using similar neoclassical-like particle and ion energy diffusivity values as inferred inside the IBW-induced core barrier, the CH-mode performance is assessed for TFTR high performance D-T plasmas. By controlling the barrier location, Q-factors in the ≤ 0.6 range can be obtained with a total stored energy of ≤ 6 MJ.
