Journal ArticleDOI
Ageing of plasma-treated poly(tetrafluoroethylene) surfaces
TL;DR: In this paper, the ageing process of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surfaces was investigated and it was shown that a hydrophobic environment and high temperatures promote faster recovery of the original properties of PTFE than low temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of Edge Instability Limiting the Pedestal Growth in Tokamak Plasmas
Ahmed Diallo,Jerry Hughes,Martin Greenwald,Brian LaBombard,E. Davis,Seung Gyou Baek,Christian Theiler,P. B. Snyder,John Canik,J.R. Walk,Theodore Golfinopoulos,J.L. Terry,M. Churchill,Amanda Hubbard,Miklos Porkolab,L. F. Delgado-Aparicio,Matthew Reinke,Anne White,Alcator C-Mod Team +18 more
TL;DR: Direct evidence of density and magnetic fluctuations showing the stiff onset of an edge instability leading to the saturation of the pedestal on the Alcator C-Mod tokamak is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of Tokamak Density Limit Scalings
TL;DR: The onset criterion for radiation driven islands is consistent with the empirical scaling of the tokamak density limit and many other unexplained phenomena at the density limit are consistent with this novel physics mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray imaging crystal spectroscopy for use in plasma transport research.
Matthew Reinke,Yuri Podpaly,Manfred Bitter,Ian H. Hutchinson,John Rice,L. F. Delgado-Aparicio,C. Gao,Martin Greenwald,K. W. Hill,Nathan Howard,Amanda Hubbard,Jerry Hughes,N. A. Pablant,Anne White,S.M. Wolfe +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral analysis and error propagation techniques associated with x-ray imaging crystal spectroscopy (XICS) have been used to accurately constrain particle, momentum, and heat transport studies in a tokamak for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Correlation between electron transport and shear Alfvén activity in the National Spherical Torus Experiment.

TL;DR: The first theoretical assessment of a GAE-electron transport connection indicates that overlapping modes can resonantly couple to the bulk thermal electrons and induce their stochastic diffusion.
