In fusion reactors, surfaces of plasma facing components (PFCs) are exposed to high heat
and particle flux. Tungsten and Copper alloys are primary candidates for plasma facing …

The physics of magnetically confined plasmas has had much of its development as part of
the program to develop fusion energy and is an important element in the study of space and …

Oscillator and line strengths; 4. Spectral line broadening; 5. Continuous spectra; 6. Cross …

Abstract Effects of the plasma boundary can have a substantial influence on the behaviour of
the entire plasma in tokamaks. Progress in the field, particularly that over the last decade, is …

The cooling factor of W is evaluated using state of the art data for line radiation and an
ionization balance which has been benchmarked with experiment. For the calculation of line …

In the processes studied in contemporary physics one encounters the most diverse
conditions: temperatures ranging from absolute zero to those found in the cores of stars, and …

A tokamak edge phenomenon, dubbed the'marfe'(for multifaceted asymmetric radiation from
the edge), is described. This phenomenon, observed in medium-to high-density Alcator C …

Tungsten (W) has moved into the focus of fusion research being a main candidate for the
plasma facing components (PFCs) of ITER and a future fusion reactor. A main ingredient for …

The last few years have seen significant progress in constructing the atomic models required
for non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) simulations. Along with this has come an …

The tungsten programme in ASDEX Upgrade is pursued towards a full high-Z device. The
spectroscopic diagnostic of W has been extended and refined and the cooling factor of W …
