Contribution of joint experiments on small tokamaks in the framework of IAEA coordinated research projects to mainstream fusion research

Abstract

Joint experiments (JEs) on small tokamaks have been regularly performed between 2005 and 2015 under the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) coordinated research projects (CRPs). This paper describes the background and the rationale for these experiments, how they were organized and executed, main areas of research covered during these experiments, main results, contributions to mainstream fusion research, and discusses lessons learned and outcomes from these activities. We underline several of the most important scientific outputs and also specific outputs in the education of young scientists and scientists from developing countries and their importance.

Bispectral analysis of broadband turbulence and geodesic acoustic modes in the T-10 tokamak

“…(2017 a ) and Gryaznevich et al. (2020), bicoherence of the OH-stage fluctuations is presented. Specifically, we consider data collected from T-10 shot , with relevant plasma parameters and .…”

Magnetically insulated baffled probe (MIBP) for low-temperature and fusion-boundary plasma studies

“…MIBP may be a useful tool for fusion-boundary plasma studies [47][48][49][50]. Simple analytical probe theories, that can describe the plug and baffled probe designs are presented at the section 2.3.…”
