Plasma turbulence and MHD instabilities in the Ohmic L-mode and Bias H -mode regimes of the TCABR tokamakRESUMEPlasma Turbulence and H-mode are main lines of research in the TCABR tokamak and many new results were already obtained and published. The first objective of this project is to install a system of feedback control of the plasma current to improve the reproducibility of the discha…
Relevant physical processes that occur in hot plasmas, which are used both for controlled thermonuclear fusion research and for modern technological applications, are investigated. Among the main research topics, emphasis is placed on the use of Alfvén waves for plasma heating, non-inductive current drive, generation of transport barriers, in tokamaks, and cleaning of archeological metall…
In this work, the objective is to study the influence of the radial profile of the electrical field on the edge plasma of the tokamak TCABR aiming to optimize the biasing H mode confinement. For this purpose, a carefully designed less perturbative multipin Langmuir probe will be designed, constructed, and used to measure floating potentials, electron temperatures, and densities of the pla…
