Journal ArticleDOI
The tokamak Monte Carlo fast ion module NUBEAM in the National Transport Code Collaboration library
TL;DR: The NUBEAM module as mentioned in this paper is a comprehensive computational model for Neutral Beam Injection (NBI) in tokamaks, which is used to compute power deposition, driven current, momentum transfer, fueling, and other profiles.

TL;DR: In this article, a transport code (TRANSP) is used to simulate future deuterium-tritium (DT) experiments in TFTR DD discharges, and the modelling of one supershot is discussed in detail to indicate the degree of accuracy of the TRANSP modelling.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that ion cyclotron emission (ICE) spectra contain superthermal, narrow, equally spaced emission lines, which correspond to successive cycloton harmonics of deuterons or alpha particles at the outer midplane, close to the last closed flux surface at major radius R approximately 4.0 m.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The measured loss rate of energetic alpha particles agreed with the approximately 5% losses expected from alpha particles which are born on unconfined orbits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulations of alpha parameters in a TFTR DT supershot with high fusion power

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of toroidal ripple and mixing of the fast alpha particles during the sawteeth observed after the neutral beam injection phase are modelled, and the distributions of alpha particles on the outer midplane are peaked near forward and backward v1/v.
