Overview of TFTR transport studies

TL;DR: A review of TFTR plasma transport studies is presented in this article, where parallel transport and the confinement of suprathermal ions are found to be relatively well described by theory and the underlying turbulence has been studied using microwave scattering, beam emission spectroscopy and microwave reflectometry over a much broader range in k perpendicular to than previously possible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Confinement studies of neutral beam heated discharges in TFTR

TL;DR: The TFTR tokamak has reached its original machine design specifications (Ip=2.5 MA and BT=5.2 T) by operating at low plasma current and low density (ne approximately=1*1019 m-3), high ion temperatures (9+or2 keV) and rotation speeds (7*105 m/s) have been achieved during injection.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlations of heat and momentum transport in the TFTR tokamak

S. D. Scott, +95 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the toroidal rotation speed vφ(r) driven by neutral beam injection in tokamak plasmas and, in particular, simultaneous profile measurements have provided new insights into the nature of anomalous transport in TOkamaks.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-beta operation and magnetohydrodynamic activity on the TFTR tokamak

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the magnetic reconnection in TFTR tokamak plasmas and found that the shape of the q profile is a good indicator of the presence of sawteeth.
