Times Cited Count:39 Percentile:91.75(Physics, Nuclear)The neutron-rich isotope Ni was produced by multi-nucleon transfer reactions of Zn in the Argonne National Laboratory, and an in-beam -ray experiment were performed using the GRETINA array. The and levels of Ni were observed for the first time. Those levels are regarded as large deformed states associated with proton excitation from the orbit because they cannot be reproduced by a shell-model calculation assuming a small valence space without . A theoretical analysis based on the Monte Carlo shell model published in 2014 indicates that those levels corresponds to a prolate deformed band. The present result demonstrates the occurrence of shape coexistence in neutron-rich Ni isotopes other than a known case of Ni, and confirms the predictive power of the Monte Carlo shell-model calculation.

Times Cited Count:17 Percentile:60.41(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)The purpose of this study is to find a common feature on momentum transport coefficients including diffusive and non-diffusive terms in all machines. The momentum database enables us to assess a parametric dependency of momentum transport in a wider range of dimensionless parameters related to transport. Such observation will contribute to make a scaling/modeling on momentum transport for future devices like ITER and DEMO. On the other hand, the investigation of a difference in observation by comparing the experimental conditions will give a useful information to realize what plasma parameter is the key for the momentum transport coefficients.

Times Cited Count:9 Percentile:52.86(Physics, Nuclear)Measurements of electrons from the decay of open-heavy-flavor mesons have shown that the yields are suppressed in Au+Au collisions compared to expectations from binary-scaled collisions. Here we extend these studies to two particle correlations where one particle is an electron from the decay of a heavy flavor meson and the other is a charged hadron from either the decay of the heavy meson or from jet fragmentation. These measurements provide more detailed information about the interaction between heavy quarks and the quark-gluon matter. We find the away-side-jet shape and yield to be modified in Au+Au collisions compared to collisions.

Although the overall specifications are unchanged, notable changes have been approved. Firstly, the full 73MW should be commissioned and available on a routine basis before the D/T phase. Secondly, the possibility to operate the NB at full power during the hydrogen phase requiring new shine through protection; IC with 2 antennas with increased robustness; 2 MW transmission systems to provide an easier upgrading of the EC power; the addition of a building dedicated to the RF power sources and to a testing facility for acceptance of diagnostics and heating port plugs. Thirdly, the need of a plan for developing, in time for the active phase, a CD system such as LH suitable for very long pulse operation of ITER was recognized.

The National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) is particularly well suited to investigate fast-ion driven instabilities. These instabilities are observed in the wide range of frequency from 0 kHz to the ion cyclotron frequency. Two recently implemented diagnostics on NSTX, the Motional Stark Effect (MSE) and scintillator Fast Lost Ion Probe (sFLIP), facilitate separation of redistribution and loss effects. Outward redistribution of the core-peaked energetic beam ions modifies the beam-driven current profile and hence the core q-profile. For certain H-mode discharges where NPA measurements of the NB energetic ion spectra exhibit MHD-induced fast-ion depletion, the sFLIP data confirm the existence of an ion loss that occurs primarily for passing particles near the NB full injection energy. Observations and TRANSP simulations representing fast ion instability-induced redistribution/loss phenomena in NSTX are presented.

This paper summarises recent progress in the physics basis and its impact on the expected performance of ITER. Significant progress has been made in many outstanding issues and in the development of hybrid and steady state operation scenarios, leading to increased confidence of achieving ITER's goals. Experiments show that tailoring the current profile can improve confinement over the standard H-mode and allow an increase in beta up to the no-wall limit at safety factors 4. Extrapolation to ITER suggests that at the reduced plasma current of 12MA, high Q 10 and long pulse (1000 s) operation is possible with benign ELMs. Analysis of disruption scenarios has been performed based on guidelines on current quench rates and halo currents, derived from the experimental database. With conservative assumptions, estimated electromagnetic forces on the in-vessel components are below the design target values, confirming the robustness of the ITER design against disruption forces.

This paper report the initial results. In both devices, the same plasma shape was adopted and the three non-dimensional parameters (beta, normalized gyro radius and the normalized collisionality) were set identical. The pedestal width was almost similar in the two devices, however the pressure gradient was higher in JET by a factor of 1.5. The possible reason is a small aspect ration in JET.

Times Cited Count:453 Percentile:99.72(Physics, Fluids & Plasmas)Analysis of Type I ELMs from ongoing experiments shows that ELM energy losses are correlated with the density and temperature of the pedestal plasma before the ELM crash. The Type I ELM plasma energy loss normalized to the pedestal energy is found to correlate across experiments with the collisionality of the pedestal plasma. Other parameters affect the ELM size such as the edge magnetic shear, etc, which influence the plasma volume affected by the ELMs. ELM particle losses are influenced by this ELM affected volume and are weakly dependent on other pedestal plasma parameters. In JET and DIII-D, minimum Type I ELMs with energy losses acceptable for ITER were found, that do not affect the plasma temperature. The duration of the divertor ELM power pulse is correlated with the typical ion transport time from the pedestal to the divertor target and not with the duration of the ELM associated MHD activity. Extrapolation of the present experimental results to ITER is summarized.

We have been developing physics models and computational codes for heating and current drive of NB and LH. A NB code has been developed in JAEA and on the Monte-Carlo scheme with employing the Suzuki model for the ionization process, which are based on the most recent atomic data. A LH code has been introduced from MIT. We have performed a physics assessment of the 3rd NBI, which is an option for the future HCD upgrade. Higher plasma rotation favorable to MHD stabilities is expected. On the other hand, the NBCD is too concentrated around the plasma center, which is unfavorable for the steady-state operation with the reversed magnetic shear configuration. Another concern is energetic particle driven modes due to large pressure of the NB ion in the center. The LH spectrum has to have a relatively high value of because of the accessibility condition. With this spectrum, LHCD is 0.83MA in the reference steady-state scenario for a 20MW injection from an equatorial port.

We have been developing physics models and computational codes for heating and current drive of NB, EC and LH. A NB code has been developed in JAEA and on the Monte-Carlo scheme with employing the Suzuki model for the ionization process, which are based on the most recent atomic data. An EC code, also developed in JAEA, is based on the ray-tracing and quasi-linear Fokker-Planck equation. A LH code, which was introduced from MIT, employs a 2D equivalent collision operator in the 1D Fokker-Planck code. Then the LH code shows a good agreement with fully 2D codes. A design changes of the NB and its injection port in 2007 made the range of the NB injection angle narrower than in the EDA2001, then the NBCD profile shifts inward by a minor radius of 0.05. The LH spectrum has to have a relatively high value of because of the accessibility condition. With this spectrum, LHCD is 0.83MA in the reference steady-state scenario for a 20MW injection from an equatorial port.
