El grupo "Plasma Science and Fusion Technology Group" (PSFT) de la Universidad de Sevilla está actualmente diseñando el reactor de fusión "SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak" (SMART). Por lo tanto, se necesitan gran cantidad de simulaciones y cálculos sobre los diferentes aspectos del reactor. La relación de aspecto (A) en SMART es de >1,6, lo que...

Los dispositivos de confinamiento magnético pueden utilizarse para confinar el plasma y producir la fusión. Este tipo de dispositivos puede funcionar en diferentes regímenes del plasma. Entre ellos, el llamado modo H aparece como una alternativa atractiva debido a sus mejores propiedades de confinamiento. En la transición del modo estándar de...

Fast-ion loss detectors (FILDs) are crucial for analyzing fast-ion dynamics in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. A core challenge is to derive an accurate ion velocity distribution, requiring treatment of thousands of remapped camera frames for a full discharge. The ill-posed nature of this task necessitates regularization with a...

A new concept for velocity space thermal ion loss detection is presented. This diagnostic provides pitch angle resolved measurements that are unfeasible with current diagnostics. It uses the same detection principle as the Fast-Ion Loss Detector with a scintillator as the active component and includes a double slit configuration to measure...

We present a new version of the FILDSIM code (Galdon-Quíroga et al 2018 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion60 105005), which significantly refines the modelling of the fast-ion loss detector (FILD) signal. We demonstrate that the FILD weight functions computed using this new version of FILDSIM are more accurate relative to synthetic benchmarks than...
