On the road to a fusion reactor, a thorough control of the fast-ion distribution plays a crucial
role. Fusion-born α α-particles are, indeed, a necessary ingredient of self-sustained burning …

A simple model for the instrument function of scintillator-based fast-ion loss detectors (FILD)
has been developed which accounts for the orbit trajectories in the 3D detector geometry …

Absolute flux of fast ion losses induced by tearing modes have been measured by means of
fast ion loss detectors (FILD) for the first time in RF heated plasmas in the ASDEX Upgrade …

Active NPA measurements of the fast ion distribution using the neutral beam as an
additional charge exchange target are discussed. Expressions for the calculation of the NPA …

Abstract The orbit-following Monte Carlo code ASCOT interfaced with the radiofrequency
Monte Carlo library RFOF can simulate radiofrequency heating of ion populations using …

A geometric approach is used to find the threshold energies for ion orbit loss in experimental
tokamak geometry, like that of ASDEX Upgrade. The effects of any pre-existing radial electric …

The JET FILD is a scintillator-based Fast-ion Loss Detector optimized to measure fusion-
born alpha-particle losses. This work covers its upgrade and absolute calibration in …

Ion beam induced luminescence has been used to study the response of scintillator screens
of Y 2 O 3: Eu 3+(P56) and SrGa 2 S 4: Eu 2+(TG-Green) when irradiated with light ions …

Energy generation through nuclear fusion is emission-free, base load capable and requires
a relatively low amount of resources due to the high energy density of the fusion fuel, so that …

The velocity-space distribution of the fast-ion loss in EAST neutral-beam injection (NBI)
heating discharge is obtained both from Scintillator-based fast-ion loss detector (FILD) …
