This chapter reviews the progress accomplished since the redaction of the first ITER Physics
Basis (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137–664) in the field of energetic ion physics and its possible …

The area of energetic particle (EP) physics in fusion research has been actively and
extensively researched in recent decades. The progress achieved in advancing and …

The JET programme in 2019–2020 focussed on preparing for the exploitation of JET's
currently unique capabilities, tritium handling and ITER-like wall (ILW: Be first wall and W …

Superthermal energetic particles (EP) often drive shear Alfvén waves unstable in
magnetically confined plasmas. These instabilities constitute a fascinating nonlinear system …

Since 2016, the JET scientific programme is engaged in a multi-campaign effort including
experiments in D, H and T [1], leading to 2020 and the first experiments with 50%/50% D–T …

High fusion power experiments using DT mixtures in ELM-free H mode and optimized shear
regimes in JET are reported. A fusion power of 16.1 MW has been produced in an ELM-free …

In toroidal magnetically confined plasmas, eigenmodes of Alfvén waves can be destablized
by energetic ions with velocities comparable to the Alfvén velocity. With the advent of …

Wendelstein 7-AS was the first modular stellarator device to test some basic elements of
stellarator optimization: a reduced Shafranov shift and improved stability properties resulted …

Plasma Physics-Basic Theory with Fusion Applications presents a thorough treatment of
plasma physics, beginning at an introductory level and including an extensive discussion of …

Plasmas are created by heating gases through the absorption of ionizing radiation in the
visible through the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and through collisional …
