RFX-mod is a reversed field pinch (RFP) experiment equipped with a system that actively
controls the magnetic boundary. In this paper we describe the results of a new control …

Spectroscopy of radiation emitted by impurities and hydrogen isotopes plays an important
role in the study of magnetically confined fusion plasmas, both in determining the effects of …

A band-pass flat-response x-ray detector is designed to measure the absolute M-band x-ray
flux. The detector comprises an x-ray diode and a compound filter that is carefully designed …

The High Beta Tokamak-Extended Pulse has recently incorporated a tangential multi-energy
extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray diagnostic system. This system enables measurements of …

Neural networks have been implemented to reconstruct electron temperature profiles from
multi-energy soft-x-ray (ME-SXR) arrays and other plasma diagnostics with fast time …

The study of electron temperature profiles of quasi-single helical states (QSH) in RFX-Mod
(and, in general, in other RFP machines) was carried out in the past mainly using Thomson …

Abstract A fast (⩽ 0.1 ms) and compact'multi-colour'soft x-ray array has been developed for
time and space-resolved electron temperature (T e) measurements in magnetically confined …

External n= 1 magnetic fields are applied in RFX-mod and DIII-D low safety factor Tokamak
plasmas to investigate their interaction with the internal MHD dynamics and in particular with …

The scaling of magnetic fluctuations with the Lundquist number (S) is studied in the RFX
reversed field pinch (RFP) device for different operational regimes. For the first time in a RFP …

Enhanced confinement regimes with quasihelical symmetry are reproducibly obtained in the
modified reversed field pinch eXperiment (RFX)-mod by reducing the level of internal chaos …
