Abstract Recent results from MAST Upgrade are presented, emphasising understanding the capabilities of this new device and deepening key physics issues for operation ITER design future fusion power plants. The impact MHD instabilities on fast ion confinement have been studied, including first observation losses correlated with Compressional Global Alfvén Eigenmodes. High-performance plasma scenarios developed by tailoring early current ramp phase to avoid internal reconnection events,...
First proton production rates from the d(d,p)t reaction in Mega Amp Spherical Tokamak Upgrade (MAST-U) are measured. The data were taken during MAST-U experimental campaign with an upgraded version of detector (PD) previously used MAST. new array consists three collimated silicon surface barrier detectors a depletion depth 300 μm and 120 thick diamond detector, mounted on reciprocating probe arm. This measures energies unconfined energetic 3 MeV protons 1 tritons mainly produced by...
