Heating and current drive systems Development of volume-production based RF sources of negative hydrogen ions with ion production in the plasma volume, since such a source – a volume-production based rf source – is considered as the most proper solution. As the decision for ITER is for a two-chamber surface-production based rf source (with cesium). Coordination of the work with UKEA and CEA Cadarache is expected where ideas for inductively-driven – by planar coils – sources are also under development.

  3. Development of plasma auxiliary systems • The studies (both theoretical and experimental ones) up to now have been carried out in parallel on two types of inductively driven rf sources: • the tandem two-chamber plasma source, the concept of the ITER source. • The work directed towards understanding the mechanisms governing the operation of the tandem two-chamber source. The source has been constructed based on an idea for locality (elementary processes), its operation is governed by non-locality (transport processes). • The modification of the rf ITER source to a two-chamber source, with plasma expansion from the driver to the second – larger size – chamber, results into strong drop of the electron density in the second chamber, where the extraction is located, which could not ensure efficient volume production of the ions.

  7. Estimation of the AC losses in the wires and tapes of YBCO materials with different level of Ca substitution. In collaboration with: Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research, Dresden, Germany, Prof. Dr. G. Fuchs, Institute of Low Temperature and Structure Research, Polish Academy of Sciences, Wroclaw, Poland, Prof. Dr. A. Zaleski 1. Investigation the AC losses of Ag- sheathed monofilament wires and tapes. 2. The technology for manufacturing of the monofilament tapes and tapes shall be optimized for better performance and for reducing the AC losses at different magnetic fields. Investigations of polycrystalline YBCO samples with different grain size show some morphology dependence of z establishing the larger z values for the samples with smaller grain size.
