TRANSP-TGLF core predictive modeling of the JET DT baseline scenario

In recent years, an intense modeling activity has been focused on preparing and analyzing the second JET Deuterium–Tritium (D–T) experimental campaign DTE2. Among the numerous scientific outcomes of this campaign was the unique opportunity to test and validate the state of the art of modeling tools with fusion-relevant DT plasmas using the full metallic ITER-like wall in different scenarios. This work reports on the core predictive modeling of plasma density, electron and ion temperatures (n e , T e , T i ) performed using TRANSP (Pankin et al 2025 Comput. Phys. Commun. 312 109611) coupled with Trapped Gyro-Landau Fluid (TGLF)-SAT2 (Kinsey et al 2008 Phys. Plasmas 15 055908), (Staebler et al 2021 Nucl. Fusion 61 116007) for the JET D–T baseline scenario (I p = 3.5 MA, q 95 = 3, β N < 2, with pellet pacing) (Garzotti et al 2025 Plasma Phys. Control. Fusion 67 075011). The sensitivity to different input parameters, as the $\vec{E}$ x $\vec{B}$ shear parameterization and the values of the kinetic quantities at the boundary of the prediction domain (ρ = 0.85) has been assessed, identifying the confidence interval of the prediction results. In particular, the dependence of the electron density profile on the particle source parameters has been studied, identifying the ionization source as the main cause for the density gradient under-prediction obtained by TRANSP-TGLF, reported in (Hyun-Tae et al 2023 Nucl. Fusion 63 112004).

The next-generation particle x-ray temporal diagnostic for simultaneous time-resolved measurements of nuclear-burn and x-ray emission histories in support of basic-science and inertial confinement fusion experiments at OMEGA

The next-generation Particle X-ray Temporal Diagnostic (PXTD) has been implemented for simultaneous measurements of x-ray, charged particle, and neutron emission histories from a wide range of inertial confinement fusion and high energy density plasma experiments, demonstrating excellent timing accuracy and greatly improved experimental flexibility. The key changes to the previously fielded system are a redesigned set of thin foil filters in front of the scintillators and individual neutral density filters for each region of the detector. The fully implemented PXTD system can provide unique information about the evolution of ion and electron temperatures in multi-ion and kinetic-physics experiments, proton radiography experiments, and DT experiments executed at the OMEGA facility. The system has 35 ps time resolution and negligible relative timing uncertainty between measured emission history signals. The first use of the upgraded four-channel PXTD system during a set of D 3 He-filled silica-glass implosions on OMEGA captured electron temperatures with a minimum uncertainty of 0.5 keV and resolved both the relative timings and widths of neutron, proton, and x-ray peaks within a single recorded image.

Photon phase-space dynamics in a plasma wakefield accelerator

Frequency up-shifting of laser light in a beam-driven plasma wakefield has the potential to provide high-intensity sources of short wavelength radiation. Simulations have demonstrated that a laser pulse can undergo large frequency shifts, limited only by the drive beam energy, when the plasma density is tailored to match the accelerating phase of the wake to the group velocity of the pulse. Here, we study the dynamical evolution of photons in the 1D1P phase-space vicinity of the plasma wake-phase matching condition. Numerical calculations using a photon kinetic model are validated by direct comparison with 1D and quasi-3D particle-in-cell simulations. These calculations form the basis of a linear theory of the photon dynamics which reveals several important results, including scalings for the properties of the witness pulse and a self-similar solution for the photon phase-space dynamics. One prediction of the analytic theory is that the pulse can be compressed indefinitely, though the amount of compression would ultimately be limited by practical constraints. These results suggest that photon acceleration can provide a novel source of sub-femtosecond, short wavelength radiation.

On FIRE mode in KSTAR

We report on the status of Fast Ion Regulated Enhancement (FIRE) mode experiments in the Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research. This regime is being developed for high-performance, steady-state operation which features a stationary ion internal transport barrier, enabling a central ion temperature approaching 10 keV to be sustained for up to 50 s, without the need for delicate profile control and with no significant impurity accumulation. As its key novelty lies in the significant contribution of fast ions that stabilize core turbulence, the regime has been named FIRE mode. To achieve this regime, neutral beam injection is applied at moderate power levels near the L–H power threshold, while maintaining low plasma density to avoid the L–H transition. The scenario is typically established in diverted magnetic configurations. The core features of FIRE mode were investigated through power balance analysis and fluctuation measurements, revealing a clear transport bifurcation in the ion channel. At the plasma edge, FIRE mode occasionally exhibits I-mode characteristics, particularly in unfavorable magnetic null configurations with q 95 ∼ 4, including the presence of weakly coherent modes. In terms of MHD activity, sawtooth oscillations are observed but appear to be stabilized during the high-performance phase. Fast ion-driven Alfvénic eigenmodes (AEs), indicated by strong frequency chirping near 200 kHz, are also observed. Additionally, lower-frequency MHD activities, distinct from the fast ion-driven AEs, are present and have some influence on plasma performance. The enhancement of core confinement is primarily attributed to fast ion effects, which were evaluated with respect to dilution, alpha stabilization, and resonant interactions with turbulence using gyrokinetic analyses. Among these, the dilution effect was found to be the most dominant. The characteristics of FIRE mode were compared with those of other hot ion plasma scenarios, such as supershot and hot ion mode. While they share many similarities, FIRE mode is distinguished by the accessibility to conditions with T i ≈ T e , presence of I-mode edge features, and its long-duration sustainment. Predictive simulations of FIRE mode were performed using integrated transport modeling with TRIASSIC, employing the TGLF anomalous transport model. These simulations confirmed the critical role of fast ions in achieving this regime. The future prospect of FIRE mode for application in fusion reactors is discussed, with an emphasis on possibly extending the regime to higher density operation.

Edge-localized mode mitigation enabled by active control of pedestal density gradient with new EAST tokamak divertor

Mitigation of large edge-localized modes (ELMs) has been achieved by actively reducing the pedestal density gradient with the EAST new right-angled lower divertor through changing the strike point position from the vertical target to the horizontal target. A series of dedicated experiments in the 2021–2024 EAST campaigns demonstrate that this ELM control solution is highly reproducible in a broad parameter space of edge safety factor q 95 = 4.7–7.1, heating power P total = 2.3–5 MW, and pedestal collisionality $ν_{e,ped}^{*}$ = 1–6, under both favorable and unfavorable magnetic configurations. Higher plasma density could facilitate the achievement of this ELM control solution. Statistical results indicate that the ELM mitigation effect can be observed at relatively larger Greenwald density fraction of f GW > 0.47. In addition, this ELM mitigation effect can be achieved with both lithium-coated and boronized metal walls. The pedestal density gradient is systematically lower in the horizontal target case than that of the vertical target case when the ELM mitigation effect can be observed. SOLPS-ITER simulation results indicate that the pedestal fueling from divertor recycling is significantly lower in the horizontal target case. This could contribute to the formation of a flattened pedestal density profile with small ELMs.

Verification of the kinetic electron role in the microinstabilities in a negative triangularity model equilibrium

Effect of kinetic electrons on negative triangularity plasmas has been investigated and compared against the corresponding positive triangularity plasmas, using the global gyrokinetic code X-point Gyrokinetic Code with scale-separated delta-f option without Coulomb collisions. Our model magnetic equilibria have strong positive and negative triangularities and weak magnetic shear. However, unusually large ρ i > a and low density plasmas are chosen to maximize the nonlocal effect to investigate the finite ρ i effect and to be clearly away from kinetic ballooning modes. Similar conclusions to previous flux tube and global simulations have been obtained in this highly nonlocal model plasma: it is essential to include kinetic electrons in the micro-instability study of negative triangularity plasmas. Most physics findings agree with existing reports, with some disagreement. We offer a new “effective trapping fraction” concept that can add to the explanation of the growth rate difference between NT and PT plasmas, pointing to the significant variation in trapped particle fractions that have turning points in the mode growth regions.

Bayesian optimization of laser wakefield acceleration via spectral pulse shaping

In this paper, we investigate the effect of spectral pulse shaping of the laser driver on the performance of channel-guided, laser–plasma accelerators. The study was carried out with the assistance of Bayesian optimization using particle-in-cell simulations. We used a realistic plasma profile based on a novel optical-field-ionized channel technique with ionization injection and low, on-axis plasma densities to maximize the energy gain of the electron bunch trailing the laser. Spectral shaping allows us to modify the temporal profile of the laser driver while keeping the laser energy constant, affecting the acceleration and injection processes. In addition, we consider how modifying the plasma channel parameters may affect the target outputs. Given the complexity and breadth of the parameter space in question, we used numerical optimization to identify high-performing configurations. In particular, we found laser profiles with additional spectral content that, when used with optimal plasma channel parameters, result in charge content an order of magnitude higher than the baseline Gaussian case while also increasing the mean energy of the electron bunch.

Electron transport barrier and high confinement in configurations with internal islands close to the plasma edge of W7-X

The low magnetic shear in the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator makes it feasible to shape the separatrix by the large islands constituting an island-divertor, and this can be exploited to access various magnetic configurations, including samples of different internal island sizes and locations. To investigate the configuration effects on the plasma confinement, a configuration scan was performed by changing the coil currents to vary the rotational transform between values 5/4 and 5/6 at the plasma boundary with different power levels (2, 4, 6 MW) of electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) at a maximum plasma density of 8 × 10 19 m -2 . neutral beam injection (NBI) heating was also applied during some configurations of the scan to create a density ramp and access high densities beyond the X2 ECRH cutoff. For the magnetic configurations, where the 5/5 and 5/6 island chains were moved closer to separatrix but remaining inside the last closed flux surface, the electron cyclotron emission shows that an electron temperature, T e , pedestal develops already during ECRH heated plasma buildup phase indicating a transport barrier, and the barrier sustains irrespective of changed plasma heating conditions such as NBI in the later part of discharge. The transport barrier is broken by subsequent fast crashes, observed with multiple plasma diagnostics with characteristics such as tokamak edge localized modes, and the corresponding crash amplitude and frequency vary with plasma pressure. The impact of the transport barrier on plasma confinement can be seen through the increased core T e profile, which could be responsible for the overall increase in the stored diamagnetic energy by approximately 10% for these configurations. After the plasma heating is terminated, a backwards transition to a degraded confinement state is also observed. These observations indicate a configuration triggered high confinement mode in low shear W7-X. This work focuses on the occurrence of this transport barrier for different magnetic configurations and its relation to internal magnetic islands.

Feasibility of main thermal ion heating by ICRF waves using a top launcher in a tokamak with deuterium–tritium plasmas

A scenario of ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) wave injection from a top launcher is proposed as an efficient and direct heating method for thermal deuterium ions in deuterium–tritium tokamak plasmas. Positioned between the tritium cyclotron layer and ion–ion hybrid layer, the top launcher allows effective wave penetration to the ion–ion hybrid layer and enables significant power transfer to thermal deuterium. This is achieved through favorable wave polarization for fundamental cyclotron damping. There is a Doppler broadening around the cyclotron resonance and this overlaps with the ion–ion hybrid layer. Low toroidal mode numbers and ion temperature in the range of 5–20 keV are favorable for enhancing the main ion damping relative to electron damping. In contrast to the neutral beam injection, which penetration strongly depends on machine size and plasma density, the proposed ICRF-based direct ion heating scenario is shown to be scalable and applicable to both larger and smaller tokamak devices within practical constraints.

Transient plasma-detachment events induced by multiple gas puffs in ADITYA-U tokamak

Application of periodic short bursts of gas leads to periodic separation of the plasma column edge from the limiter in the Ohmically heated discharges of ADITYA-U tokamak. After every gas-puff, injecting around 10 17 –10 18 m −3 molecules of fuel gas in the edge of the plasma column, a significant reduction in plasma density, temperature, H α emission intensity and an increase in the H β /H α ratio is observed in the vicinity of the limiter radius for a certain time duration before these parameters regain their pre-gas puff values. A decline in the ion-flux to the limiter is also observed simultaneously. The global confinement of plasma also increases after each gas-puff. These observations, which repeat after each gas-injection, imply that the plasma–neutral interaction occurs further away from the limiters after the gas-injection and indicate a periodic plasma separation from the limiter surface. Further investigation revealed that the gas-injection modifies the radial and toroidal electric field, which may be playing a role in the separation of the plasma column from the limiter surface. It was further demonstrated by an electrode bias experiment in the absence of gas-injection that an application of an external radial electric field can result in obtaining a separated plasma state.

CRADA Final Report: CRADA Number NFE-22-09330 with General Fusion

General Fusion is developing a magnetized target fusion (MTF) approach that involves compressing an initial magnetically confined plasma inside a cavity formed in liquid metal. This approach builds from concepts initially developed under the Linus program at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and combines it with advances from compact toroid experiment (CTX) and sustained spheromak plasma experiment (SSPX) in compact toroid plasmas and coaxial Marshall gun systems. Modeling the tokamak during compression is central to designing a successful MTF device. The plasma is formed by coaxial helicity injection in the General Fusion device. Immediately after formation, the plasma has a diverted tokamak configuration with a single null. As the wall moves inwards, the plasma is repelled from the conducting surface and driven inwards by currents induced by its magnetic field in the liquid metal wall. As the liquid metal closes (or bridges) the opening of the coaxial plasma injector, the magnetic field topology alters to remove the null. Due to this, the plasma moves from a diverted to a wall-limited configuration. The liquid metal liner continues to close in and change shape, reducing in radius by a factor of ten at the peak of plasma compression. A model of the MTF plasma must be able to handle this continually varying geometry, and to be predictive, it must faithfully include the real imperfections arising in the process. In this project, we pursued a Monte Carlo approach to closures for MHD by computing kinetic electron trajectories in an MHD plasma background from simulations of GF devices. This requires enhancing the capabilities of the KORC-T code for running large ensembles of kinetic trajectories by porting it to GPU architectures and enabling workflows for large ensembles on OLCF machines. With these capabilities, it is possible to produce a large library of kinetic calculations of electron orbits evolving in plasma configurations spanning the magnetic configurations and plasma density profiles, including non-axisymmetry, arising in the General Fusion’s existing PI3 spherical tokamak device. Using ensembles will capture particles passing a single point in space in a given magnetic configuration, and the entire dataset will cover a range of global magnetic field geometries. By sampling around many starting points, this dataset will capture the spatial dependence of the plasma parameters. From this large dataset, it is possible to produce a reduced model for the kinetic effects not captured in MHD.

Electron density profile and associated fluctuation measurements using a microwave reflectometry diagnostic on Helically Symmetric eXperiment (HSX)

Abstract A dual-band frequency-modulated reflectometry is employed on the Helically Symmetric eXperiment (HSX) stellarator. This system equips a fast PIN switch to alternate the frequency source between two voltage-controlled oscillators, providing an operational frequency range from 14.5 GHz to 25.5 GHz. A monostatic antenna geometry and an ellipsoidal mirror are implemented in the vessel of HSX, where the polarization of the transmitted microwave can be switched between O- and X-mode to accommodate the magnetic field and plasma density. Although the original system was designed for density fluctuation measurement, significant efforts have been undertaken to improve the system performance and to realize the density profile inversion. Recent improvements of the system reported here include calibration of the dispersion in the transmission line, optimization of the waveform, and implementation of the Choi-Williams time–frequency distribution for spectral analysis. In this paper, we present the optimization of the reflectometry system along with first experimental measurements of the density profile and observations of fluctuations during gas puffing experiments.

Fusion burn-propagation simulations using the collisional and radiative particle-in-cell code TRIFORCE

The ability to accurately model burn propagation in inertial confinement fusion plasmas is crucial for advancing fusion energy research. This work presents enhancements to the triforce hybrid fluid-kinetic multiphysics code, focusing on its kinetic half, which employs the particle-in-cell (PIC) method with Monte Carlo collisions (MCC). We use a moment-preserving collision model that mitigates numerical noise, particularly in spherical geometries where particle weights vary significantly. Additionally, we refine the treatment of inverse bremsstrahlung to account for electron–ion collision frequency reductions in degenerate plasmas and incorporate a blackbody radiation source to enable realistic photon injection. These improvements enable the simulation of 1-dimensional (1D) spherical fusion burn propagation in deuterium–tritium plasmas. Benchmark comparisons with the hydra radiation-hydrodynamics code confirm that triforce accurately captures the dynamics of hot-spot expansion and burn propagation, demonstrating sensitivity to ignition thresholds consistent with theoretical models. Findings show the ignition cliff to be less steep in our work compared to radiation-hydrodynamic modeling. These results highlight the role of kinetic effects in fusion ignition physics and underscore the necessity of hybrid fluid-kinetic models for advancing predictive capabilities in high-energy-density plasma systems.

Parametric raytracing modeling for NSTX-U scenario development with high harmonic fast waves and neutral beam injection

High harmonic fast waves (HHFW) are a versatile heating and current drive tool for scenario development. Extensive modeling scans were performed to find optimal parameters for different uses of HHFW in National Spherical Tokamak Experiment (NSTX-U). Scans of plasma density, temperature, magnetic field, and antenna phasing were performed both with and without neutral beam injection. For speed of calculation, the ray-tracing code GENRAY coupled to the quasilinear Fokker–Planck code CQL3D was used. CQL3D allows for a more accurate description of the fast ion population, as well as for quasilinear effects such as HHFW-induced modifications of the distribution function. Best current drive results are obtained at elevated electron temperatures and with the lowest k φ phasing. Adding neutral beams however typically strongly reduces the HHFW current drive efficiency at the low density cases due to HHFW absorption on beam ions. Results of this parametric study will feed into scenario development and predict-first whole-shot modeling of NSTX-U discharges.

Asymptotic scaling laws for the stagnation conditions of Z-pinch implosions

Implosions of magnetically driven annular shells (Z pinches) are studied in the laboratory to produce high-energy-density plasmas. Such plasmas have a wide-range of applications including x-ray generation, controlled thermonuclear fusion, and astrophysics studies. In this work, we theoretically investigate the in-flight dynamics of a magnetically driven, imploding cylindrical shell that stagnates onto itself upon collision on axis. The converging flow of the Z-pinch is analyzed by considering the implosion trajectory in the (A, M) parametric plane, where A is the in-flight aspect ratio and M is the implosion Mach number. For an ideal implosion in the absence of instabilities and in the limit of A ≫ 1, we derive asymptotic scaling laws for hydrodynamic quantities evaluated at stagnation (e.g., density, temperature, and pressure) and for performance metrics (e.g., soft x-ray emission, K-shell x-ray emission, and neutron yield) as functions of target-design parameters.

Mitigation of ICRF—edge plasma interaction in Alcator C-Mod

The parasitic interaction between ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRF) waves and the edge plasma has long limited high-power ICRF utilization in magnetically confined fusion plasmas. In this paper, we report on the successful mitigation of this interaction by power tapering a four-strap field-aligned (FA) antenna in the Alcator C-Mod tokamak. With the antenna operated in dipole phasing ($0\pi0\pi$), the ratio of the power coupled by the central two straps ($P_\mathrm {cent}$) to the power coupled by the outer two straps was varied at fixed total coupled ICRF power ($P_\mathrm {tot}$). With $P_\mathrm {cent}$/$P_\mathrm {tot} \approx 0.8-0.9$, no enhancement of the plasma potential was measured despite 1 MW of coupled ICRF power. When the antenna is powered, energy deposition increases on its four corners and on neighboring limiter tiles magnetically connected to some of those corners. The energy deposited on the antenna and limiter is minimized together with near-field plasma potentials. Additionally, we show that deviation from $P_\mathrm {cent}$/$P_\mathrm {tot} \approx 0.8$ enhances wave-plasma interactions in places not magnetically connected to the antenna. These far-field effects are correlated with changes in the antenna spectrum. Hence, on C-Mod, near-field and far-field interactions were minimized for about the same range of $P_\mathrm {cent}$/$P_\mathrm {tot}$. Optimal power tapering was also found to improve ICRF heating efficiency and facilitate H-mode access. Finally, we show that the heat flux pattern on the toroidally aligned antennas reverses with the direction of the RF-induced E×B flow in front of the antenna, a correlation not observed for the FA antenna. We argue that the RF-induced E×B flow, which carries high-density plasma from the near-SOL, is aligned with the FA antenna and does not intercept its corners, where the plasma potential is large. This could explain the previously reported smaller impurity generation by the FA antenna (Wukitch et al 2013 Phys. Plasmas 20 056117).

A variational method for the sheath potential of hypersonic leading edges with space-charge limitations

Electron transpiration cooling for the leading edges (LE) of hypersonic aircraft utilizes thermionic emission; however, space-charge effects limit the electron emission rate, potentially diminishing the efficiency of this cooling mechanism. We develop a variational weak form of the Poisson equation that describes the sheath potential and then numerically solve it using the finite element method. This formulation has two main benefits: (1) the space-charge limit condition can be incorporated as a constraint and (2) it allows for the analysis of three-dimensional geometries with complex boundary conditions. We demonstrate that the current emitted from the surface of an LE is generally a small fraction of the Child–Langmuir limit due to space charge. We then propose several methods to enhance the emitted current from the surface and to boost the cooling effect of thermionic emission. These include increasing the plasma density, applying a negative surface potential, and using fringe fields under suitable geometric conditions. For a LaB6 emitting LE, the total emitted current is shown to be minimal and independent of the temperature of a surface with floating potential. However, when a negative potential is applied and the surface is heated, the emitted current follows the Richardson–Dushman relationship up to a critical temperature, beyond which it remains constant. At an applied surface potential of −5 V, the critical temperature is around 1700 K.

Numerical-heating effects in atmospheric pressure streamer discharges simulated with a PIC code

Artificial heating in plasma simulations is a well-known phenomenon which occurs when, among other things, the Debye length is poorly resolved by the simulation mesh. Here, in this work, the degree to which numerical-heating occurs during a simulation of a nanosecond atmospheric pressure streamer discharge is examined. The streamer is simulated using a two-dimensional finite-element, particle-in-cell code Empire, which uses direct simulation Monte Carlo for binary particle interactions. Initially, an estimate of the numerical-heating rate applied to Empire is performed using a simple plasma model. Second, a positive atmospheric pressure streamer discharge simulation is performed to study the effects of numerical heating on plasma density, electron temperature, and streamer velocity. The nominal Debye length is approximately 1 μm and the amount of numerical heating introduced in the simulation is varied by using mesh sizes ranging from 2 μm to 20 μm. A measurable numerical heating quantity is proposed that can be used to estimate the appropriate element size and quantify the numerical-heating that can be expected over the simulation time for an atmospheric pressure streamer. In conclusion while Δx/λ D violations can be an issue it is not likely to be an issue with streamer discharges that are temporally short and occur in environments where collision frequencies are high. This result validates the rationale of grid size choices for a large amount of previously published works where Δx/λ D violation was not clearly addressed. Primary finding of this work is that numerical heating is of minor concern for plasma simulations where electron–neutral collisions are numerous such that multiple collisions can occur within a single plasma period.
