The RFP: what and why 1

European Ph.D. course. - Garching )p.martin RFP exist: e.g. RFX-mod a =0.459 m, R =2 m, plasma current up to 2 MA The largest RFP in the world, located in Padova, Italy A fusion facility for MHD mode control

A dynamic and well-integrated community RFX-modEXTRAP T2RRELAXMST Stockholm Padova Kyoto Madison

Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Colloquium - June 4th, IAEA Fusion Energy Conference, Geneva - P. Martin The RFP: a tight link with University (all experiments in University environment) and a nursery for the fusion community

DOE Fusion Science, Germantown, MD - 23/07/2008p.martin Most of the RFP magnetic field is generated by current flowing in the plasma (driven also by a dynamo mechanism) No need for large magnetic coils. The distinctive feature of the RFP that motivates its interest as a fusion energy system is the weak applied toroidal magnetic field. The RFP configuration is similar to a tokamak… –like to the tokamak, the RFP is obtained by driving a toroidal electrical current in a plasma embedded in a toroidal magnetic field  pinch effect. …..but the applied toroidal field is 10 – 100 times weaker ! RFP: exploiting the weak field

DOE Fusion Science, Germantown, MD - 23/07/2008p.martin Why the RFP ? A current-carrying low magnetic field configuration as the RFP: – has several technological advantages as a potential reactor configuration and will therefore contribute to the development of a viable reactor concept – has unique capabilities to contribute to fusion energy science and technology research

DOE Fusion Science, Germantown, MD - 23/07/2008p.martin Fusion potential of the low magnetic field high engineering beta –For configurations like the tokamak the maximum field at the magnet is of order twice the field in the plasma, whereas in the RFP the field at the magnet is less than in the plasma. –The engineering beta in an RFP reactor might be as much as twice the physics beta (up to 26% in present experiments).. Use of normal (rather than superconducting) coils, High mass power density, Efficient assembly and disassembly, Possibly free choice of aspect ratio

DOE Fusion Science, Germantown, MD - 23/07/2008p.martin A comprehensive understanding of toroidal magnetic confinement, and the possibility of predicting it, implies that plasma behavior would be predictable over a wide range of magnetic field strengths. The RFP provides new information since it extends our understanding to low field strength, testing the results derived at high field with the tokamak.

European Ph.D. course. - Garching )p.martin Surface quantities

European Ph.D. course. - Garching )p.martin One-dimensional configurations Even if the magnetic configurations of fusion interest are toroidal, some physical intuition can be obtained by investigating their one-dimensional, cylindrically simmetric versions. This separates: – Radial pressure balance – Toroidal force balance For most configurations, once radial pressure balance is established, toroidicity can be introduced by means of an aspect ratio expansion, from which one can then investigate toroidal force balance.

European Ph.D. course. - Garching )p.martin A simple example:  -pinch The sum of magnetic and kinetic pressure is constant throughout the plasma The plasma is confined by the pressure of the applied magnetic field

European Ph.D. course. - Garching )p.martin Z-pinch In contrast to the  -pinch, for a Z-pinch it is the tension force and not the magnetic pressure gradient that provides radial confinement of the plasma The Bennet pinch satisfies the Z-pinch equilibrium

European Ph.D. course. - Garching )p.martin Bennet Z-pinch Tension force acts inwards, providing radial pressure balance.

European Ph.D. course. - Garching )p.martin Experimental Z-pinch

European Ph.D. course. - Garching )p.martin Z-machine The Z machine fires a very powerful electrical discharge (several tens million-ampere for less than 100 nanoseconds) into an array of thin, parallel tungsten wires called a liner. Originally designed to supply 50 terawatts of power in one fast pulse, technological advances resulted in an increased output of 290 terawatts Z releases 80 times the world's electrical power output for about seventy nanoseconds; however, only a moderate amount of energy is consumed in each test (roughly twelve megajoules) - the efficiency from wall current to X-ray output is about 15% At the end of 2005, the Z machine produced plasmas with announced temperatures in excess of 2 billion kelvin (2 GK, 2×109 K), even reaching a peak at 3.7 billion K.
