ITER will use beryllium as a plasma-facing material in the main chamber, covering a total
surface area of about 620 m 2. Given the importance of beryllium erosion and co-deposition …

As part of ITPA-Integrated Operational Scenario activities, this contribution reviews recent
experimental characterizations of radio-frequency (RF)-induced scrape-off layer (SOL) …

The European nuclear fusion research community has elaborated a Roadmap to the
realisation of fusion energy in which 'ITER is the key facility and its success is the most …

This paper summarizes recent progress in modeling the interaction between ion cyclotron
range of frequency (ICRF) waves and edge plasma with application to ASDEX Upgrade. The …

Plasma heating in the full tungsten (W) environment in a steady-state tokamak (WEST) relies
on electromagnetic waves in both the lower hybrid (LH) and ion cyclotron range of …

Experimental data, together with interpretive modeling tools, are examined to study trends in
the tungsten (W) source in the all-W environment of the WEST tokamak, both from the …

Ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH) is of considerable interest among all auxiliary
heating techniques, because it transfers power directly to ions, targets the high-density core …

Radio-frequency sheaths forming at the surface of ion cyclotron resonance heating (ICRH)
actuators in fusion experiments are associated with enhanced impurity sputtering from ICRH …

Physical and chemical assisted physical sputtering were characterised by the Be I and Be II
line and BeD band emission in the observation chord measuring the sightline integrated …

Use of new 3-strap ICRF antennas with all-tungsten (W) limiters in ASDEX Upgrade results
in a reduction of the W sources at the antenna limiters and of the W content in the confined …
