Simulation of ITER full-field ICWC scenario in JET: RF physics aspects

Abstract: ITER as a superconducting fusion machine needs efficient wall conditioning techniques for application in the presence of the permanent high toroidal magnetic field for (i) reducing the in-vessel impurity content, (ii) controlling the surface hydrogen isotopic ratio and (iii) mitigating the in-vessel long-term tritium inventory build-up. Encouraging results recently obtained with ion-cyclotron wall conditioning (ICWC) in the present-day tokamaks and stellarators have raised ICWC to the status of one of the most… Show more

“…In the present of powered ICRF antennas, the RF fields can generate fast electrons which may hit the gas cloud and cause additional ionization. This ionization exist either in the region near the antennas where electrons gain energy from the slow wave, or in the region far from the antennas where electrons gain energy from the ponderomotive force [26,27]. To calculate the effect of a population of fast electrons, profiles of T e , n e and n D0 from the EMC3-EIRENE calculations at the position of the gas puff were used.…”

“…While in later stage (phase III and IV) collective plasma effects are playing an important role, in phases I and II the ionisation rate can be assessed from single electron motions in the antenna vacuum electric field component parallel to the toroidal magnetic field, E z (z, t). The electron acceleration by E z (z, t) is described by Lyssoivan [2]. The theory separates the motion of charged particles into a fast oscillation and a slower drift around the oscillation centre.…”

“…In the work of Lyssoivan [2], the Taylor series expansion retains the zeroth-and first-order term. Adding to this theory, for the purpose of this contribution, we introduce as well the quadratic term.…”
