Highlights 2024
 

The second place in this year's SOFT Innovation prize awarded by the European Commission went to Alexander Feichtmayer for his work on the “General-Purpose Irradiated Fiber and Foil Experiment” (GIRAFFE). [more]

Edge localized modes (ELMs) are harmful for divertor and wall of fusion devices. Therefore, a reactor must be operated in ELM-free plasma regimes. One such regime is the I-mode, being characterized by fluctuations of a weakly coherent mode (WCM) at the plasma edge. [more]

Recent work at the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade has demonstrated that present theoretical models, combined with experimental scalings, can effectively model the transport of momentum within the plasma core. This marks a significant advancement towards predicting the rotation profiles of both current and future tokamak devices. [more]

In a tokamak, the temperature profile across the separatrix is often described by a single decay length although parallel heat transport opens a new heat loss channel on the open field lines [more]

Experimental method provides important data on the generation of radiation damage in tungsten [more]
