Summary of PSD2 meeting on Pilot physics and following actions:
JET data analysis (Vito Konrad Zotta and David Keeling coordinating):
- NBI power loss and torque in highly rotating plasmas, for validation of RABBIT/ASCOT modelling and assessment of the impact on VNS performance;
- D/T ratio profile measurements and analysis in T-rich plasmas;
- Validation of energetic particle drive on high-performance DT pulses;
AUG experiments (Ph Lauber coordinating?)
- MHD stability in plasma with maximized fast ion pressure
QCE validation and compatibility with detachment (Nicola Vianello coordination?)
- SOLPS validation on existing QCE to guide VNS SOL heat/particle transport
- Experiments on QCE+detachement (M Faitsch, M. Dunne)
