A new spherical tokamak, the SMall Aspect Ratio Tokamak (SMART), is currently being designed at University of Seville. The goal machine to achieve a toroidal field 1 T, plasma current 500 kA and pulse length ms for with major radius 0.4 m minor 0.25 m. This contribution presents design coils power supplies machine. foresees central solenoid, 12 8 poloidal coils. Taking waveforms these set as starting point, each them has been withstand Joule heating during tokamak operation time. An...
Abstract An imaging heavy ion beam probe (i-HIBP) diagnostic, for the simultaneous measurement of plasma density, magnetic field and electrostatic potential in edge, has been installed at ASDEX Upgrade. Unlike standard probes, i-HIBP probing (heavy) ions are collected by a scintillator detector, creating light pattern or strike-line, which is then imaged camera. Therefore, good characterization response needed. Previous works focused on behaviour against irradiation with such as hydrogen...
