Overview of first Wendelstein 7-X high-performance operation

Thomas Klinger, +445 more
- 05 Jun 2019 - 
TL;DR: The Wendelstein 7-X superconducting stellarator was used for the first high-performance plasma operation as discussed by the authors, achieving densities of up to 4.5 GHz with helium gas fueling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Technical challenges in the construction of the steady-state stellarator Wendelstein 7-X

Hans-Stephan Bosch, +318 more
- 13 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: The Wendelstein 7-X superconducting device is currently under construction in Greifswald, Germany as mentioned in this paper, where the electron cyclotron resonance heating system, diagnostics, experiment control and data acquisition are prepared for steady-state operation lasting 30 min.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transport effects of low (m,n) MHD modes on TFTR supershots

TL;DR: In this paper, a good correlation is observed between performance deterioration and the appearance of strong 3/2 and 4/3 macroscopic modes in TFTR and the magnetic island structures are observed using Mirnov and ECE diagnostics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prospects for pilot plants based on the tokamak, spherical tokamak and stellarator

TL;DR: In this paper, three configurations for a pilot plant are considered: the advanced tokamak, spherical and compact stellarator, and a range of configuration issues are considered including: radial build and blanket design, magnet systems, maintenance schemes, tritium consumption and self-sufficiency, physics scenarios and a brief assessment of research needs for the configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI

q‐profile measurements in the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor*

TL;DR: In this paper, the motional Stark effect (MSE) diagnostic was used to measure the q(R,t) profiles of the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR) for L•mode, supershot, current ramps, and high βp.
