The TCV tokamak continues to leverage its unique shaping capabilities, flexible heating
systems and modern control system to provide a stepladder approach for extrapolations of …

The effect of triangularity on tokamak boundary plasma turbulence is investigated using
global, flux-driven, three-dimensional, two-fluid simulations. The simulations show that …

A new gas puff imaging diagnostic has been installed on the TCV tokamak, providing two-
dimensional insights into scrape-off-layer (SOL) turbulence dynamics above, at and below …

The analysis of turbulence in plasmas is fundamental in fusion research. Despite extensive
progress in theoretical modeling in the past 15 years, we still lack a complete and consistent …

Plasma-molecular interactions generate molecular ions which react with the plasma and
contribute to detachment through molecular activated recombination (MAR), reducing the …

To reliably predict the distribution of heat and particle fluxes at the target plates of tokamaks,
a comprehensive understanding of turbulence throughout the entire Scrape-Off-Layer (SOL) …

A set of high density, highly shaped H-mode discharges has been performed in the TCV
tokamak with the aim of assessing the effects of increasing divertor neutral recycling on the …

Reinforcement learning (RL) has shown promising results for real-time control systems,
including the domain of plasma magnetic control. However, there are still significant …

This work explains the anomalously high runaway electron (RE) pitch angles inferred in the
flat-top of dedicated Tokamak à Configuration Variable (TCV) experiments. Kinetic …

Numerical simulations explore a possible tightly baffled, long-legged divertor (TBLLD)
concept in a future upgrade of the tokamak à configuration variable (TCV). The SOLPS-ITER …
