Changes in global and edge plasma parameters (H (98(y,2)), dimensionless collisionality nu *, core density peaking, separatrix density n (e,sep)) with variations in the D-2 fueling rate and divertor configuration are unified into a single trend when mapped to ⟨T (e,ot)⟩, the spatially averaged spectroscopically derived outer target electron temperature. Dedicated JET with the ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) experiments in combination with an extended JET-ILW database of unseeded low-triangularity H-mode plasmas spanning a wide range of D-2 fueling rates, I (p), B (t) and heating power have demonstrated the importance of ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ as a key physics parameter linking the recycling particle source and detachment with plasma performance. The remarkably robust H (98(y,2)) trend with ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ is connected to a strong inverse correlation between ⟨T (e,ot)⟩, n (e,sep) and nu *, thus directly linking changes in the divertor recycling moderated by ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ with the previously established relationship between nu *, core density peaking and core pressure resulting in a degradation in core plasma performance with decreasing ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ (increasing nu *). A strong inverse correlation between the separatrix to pedestal density ratio, n (e,sep)/n (e,ped), and ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ is also established, with the rise in n (e,sep)/n (e,ped) saturating at ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ > 10 eV. A strong reduction in H (98(y,2)) is observed as ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ is driven from 30 to 10 eV via additional D-2 gas fueling, while the divertor remains attached. Consequently, the pronounced performance degradation in attached divertor conditions has implications for impurity seeding radiative divertor scenarios, in which H (98(y,2)) is already low (similar to 0.7) before impurities are injected into the plasma since moderate gas fueling rates are required to promote high divertor neutral pressure. A favorable pedestal pressure, p (e,ped), dependence on I (p) has also been observed, with an overall increase in p (e,ped) at I (p) = 3.4 MA as ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ is driven down from attached to high-recycling divertor conditions. In contrast, p (e,ped) is reduced with decreasing ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ in the lower I (p) branches. Further work is needed to (i) clarify the potential role of edge opacity on the observed favorable pedestal pressure I (p) scaling; as well as to (ii) project the global and edge plasma performance trends with ⟨T (e,ot)⟩ to reactor-scale devices to improve predictive capability of the coupling between recycling and confined plasma fueling in what are foreseen to be more opaque edge plasma conditions.
Experimental study on the role of the target electron temperature as a key parameter linking recycling to plasma performance in JET-ILW*

simulazione ASN
Il report seguente simula gli indicatori relativi alla propria produzione scientifica in relazione alle soglie ASN 2023-2025 del proprio SC/SSD. Si ricorda che il superamento dei valori soglia (almeno 2 su 3) è requisito necessario ma non sufficiente al conseguimento dell'abilitazione. La simulazione si basa sui dati IRIS e sugli indicatori bibliometrici alla data indicata e non tiene conto di eventuali periodi di congedo obbligatorio, che in sede di domanda ASN danno diritto a incrementi percentuali dei valori. La simulazione può differire dall'esito di un’eventuale domanda ASN sia per errori di catalogazione e/o dati mancanti in IRIS, sia per la variabilità dei dati bibliometrici nel tempo. Si consideri che Anvur calcola i valori degli indicatori all'ultima data utile per la presentazione delle domande.
La presente simulazione è stata realizzata sulla base delle specifiche raccolte sul tavolo ER del Focus Group IRIS coordinato dall’Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia e delle regole riportate nel DM 589/2018 e allegata Tabella A. Cineca, l’Università di Modena e Reggio Emilia e il Focus Group IRIS non si assumono alcuna responsabilità in merito all’uso che il diretto interessato o terzi faranno della simulazione. Si specifica inoltre che la simulazione contiene calcoli effettuati con dati e algoritmi di pubblico dominio e deve quindi essere considerata come un mero ausilio al calcolo svolgibile manualmente o con strumenti equivalenti.
