The canonic reaction of helium synthesis as a result of deuterium and tritium interaction can take place both in high-temperature and low-temperature variants. In both cases, the nuclei draw together so closely that Coulomb’s barrier becomes enough transparent for tunneling. In the case of high-temperature synthesis the energy of chaotic thermal mo...
Since the installation of an ITER-like wall, the JET programme has focused on the consolidation of ITER design choices and the preparation for ITER operation, with a specific emphasis given to the bulk tungsten melt experiment, which has been crucial for the final decision on the material choice for the day-one tungsten divertor in ITER. Integrated...
The work here presented describes the design and operation of a Heavy Ion Beam Diagnostic, based on a multiple cell array detector, in order to perform the determination of the temporal evolution of the radial profiles of the plasma density, electron temperature and internal poloidal magnetic field of the ISTTOK plasma. The former ion gun, based in...
