Neutral-beam heating in TFTR - projections and initial results

  • 1. Princeton Univ., NJ (USA). Plasma Physics Lab.

Description

The first neutral-beam line of TFTR has recently been commissioned. The TFTR neutral-beam heating system, its present performance and ultimate operating parameters are briefly described. To investigate future modes of operation of TFTR, extensive plasma modelling studies using the BALDUR 1-D transport modelling code have been performed. The results of these studies are presented in the light of recently formulated scaling laws and β-limits. In the last few weeks, the first low-power neutral-beam injection experiments on TFTR have begun (Psub(inj)<1.5 MW); the initial results are reported here. (author)
