4th US-PRC Magnetic Fusion Collaboration Workshop
Austin, Texas
May 5-6, 2008

Off-site Collaborations Benefit both PPPL and Host Institutions
• Provide PPPL researchers with access to state of the art facilities– Particularly Tokamak Facilities
• Bring PPPL research and technical experience to the Host Programs– Can provide missing ingredients to
strengthen programs
Collaboration Teams Support Research Initiatives
• Experimentalists, Simulators and Theorists work together using PPPL facilities to explore research areas– Over half of the research staff spends
some time on off-site research
• Engineering and technical teams also support diagnostic and auxiliary systems
Operations Support Provided to JET, EAST and KSTAR
• Physics Operators– JET on regular basis– EAST, KSTAR for initial plasma operations
• Heating Systems operation provided domestically and internationally– D-IIID ICRF– C-Mod ICRF and LH– JT-60U NNBI
Complete Diagnostics or Components have been provided
• JET– Spectrometers– MSE– Microwave Reflectometers– Lost Particle detector– TS Components
• EAST– X-ray crystal window (in
collaboration with PRC and Korea– Others from NSTX
• KSTAR – Thomson Scattering design and
Shutter
TEXTOR
ECEI - microwave scattering
JFT2M

• PPPL/ U of Colorado/JET
• PPPL provided Faraday cups, cabling, integration and manned diagnostic

Heating Systems Supplied and Supported• JET - ITER like
antenna prototype• KSTAR ECH PI
launcher and now high power long pulse launcher
• JT60U- NNBI
Energetic particle research provides paradigm for team effort • Experimentalists,
Simulators and Theorists
• Access to state of the art codes
• Support of key diagnostics
Alfven Cascade modes on JET observed by PPPL supplied reflectometer
Divertor modeling for carbon migration studied on JET
EDGE2D modelling of the 13C deposition from the JET experiment indicates several migration pathways including:
1.Leakage out of divertor and travel through the main chamber SOL
2.Ion migration through the PFR
3.Erosion/recycling movement along th 3eouter target
4.Neutral carbon transport through the PFR
PPPL supports codes use by host institutions
• TRANSP code used world-wide– Can be run on PPPL computers– Run support provided by PPPL
• NOVA code available to collaborators
• Wide variety of other codes available
PPPL can and does provide Physics and Technical Collaboration Opportunities to the World
• Benefits PPPL with access to state of the art facilities
• Benefits hosts by bringing additional experience and resources to their projects
• PPPL looks forward to opportunities to increase interaction with the PRC
