The cooling factor of W is evaluated using state of the art data for line radiation and an
ionization balance which has been benchmarked with experiment. For the calculation of line …

Tungsten (W) has moved into the focus of fusion research being a main candidate for the
plasma facing components (PFCs) of ITER and a future fusion reactor. A main ingredient for …

In the present work, the tolerable impurity level and composition for a reactor plasma using
several sets of model assumptions are evaluated. Special care was taken to evaluate a …

Recent modeling of controlled edge-localized modes (ELMs) in ITER with tungsten (W)
divertor target plates by the SOLPS code package predicted high electron temperatures (> …

The emission of light is one of the most fascinating phenomena in nature. Everybody feels
the beauty when looking at the colors appearing at sunset, when a bolt of lightning …

It is argued that the paramount boundary plasma issue for DT reactors is likely to be the
erosion wear of the plasma facing components, PFCs, and that a number of potential …

Electron-impact single-ionization cross sections for the W 5+ ion have been studied
experimentally and theoretically. Measurements of a detailed ionization spectrum and of …

The current design plans for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)
call for tungsten to be employed for certain plasma facing components in the divertor region …

The paper is an update on the Atomic Data and Analysis Structure, ADAS, since ICAM‐
DATA06 and a forward look to its evolution in the next five years. ADAS is an international …

Collisional processes and details of atomic structure of heavy many-electron atoms and ions
are not yet understood in a fully satisfying manner. Experimental studies are required for …
