EFDA-JET Task Forces

TF D (Diagnostics and Systems)

Development and Validation of diagnostics, control methods and systems in the specific environment of a large DT fusion device; Upgrading of diagnostics and systems on the JET facilities as required by the scientific exploitation.

Task Force Leader : A. Murari

TF DT (Deuterium-Tritium Operation)

For the preparation and execution of a future D-T campaign, a reduced number of task forces would have to be set up comprising elements of most or all of the other task forces.

Task Force Leader : K.-D. Zastrow

TF E (Exhaust)

Physics and technology of heat and particle removal, divertor, shallow and deep fuelling.

Task Force Leader : W. Fundamenski
Deputy Task Force Leader : S. Brezinsek

TF H (Heating)

Study of the physics of heating tokamak plasmas

Task Force Leader : M-L Mayoral
Deputy Task Force Leader : J. Ongena

TF M (MHD)

Identification of plasma instabilities and the development of their theoretical and numerical understanding, together with the development of appropriate mitigation, control and avoidance strategies

Task Force Leader : R. Koslowski

TF S1 (Scenario 1)

Development and optimisation of integrated solutions and control strategies for the ITER baseline and hybrid scenarios with required performance and loads, whilst resolving critical questions of edge behaviour, stability, transport, impurities, heating and fuelling.

Task Force Leader : G. Saibene
Deputy Task Force Leader : T. Loarer
Deputy Task Force Leader : P. Lang

TF S2 (Scenario 2)

Test of shear optimised scenarios, threshold scaling for internal confinement barrier formation versus heating and torque input, dependence on electron/ion heating ratio, He transport studies and impurity accumulation in shear optimised scenarios.

Task Force Leader : E. Joffrin
Deputy Task Force Leader : F. Rimini
Deputy Task Force Leader : V. Pericoli

TF T (Transport)

Co-ordinate and harmonise the transport analysis of JET experiments, and the selection and the further development of the relevant computer codes; Identify and execute specific transport experiments to improve understanding of heat, particle and momentum transport and validate existing transport models.

Joint Task Force Leader : V. Naulin
Joint Task Force Leader : T. Tala
