Abstract:
The Fusion Advanced Studies Torus (FAST) conceptual has been proposed as possible European ITER Satellite facility with the aim of preparing ITER operation scenarios and helping DEMO design and R&D. Insights into ITER regimes of operation in Deuterium plasmas can be obtained from investigations of nonlinear dynamics that are relevant for the understanding of alpha particle behaviours in burning plasmas by using fast ions accelerated by heating and current drive systems. In this paper the plasma scenarios that can be studied on FAST are presented, with emphasis on the aspect of its flexibility in terms of both performance and physics that can be investigated. Plasma position and shape control studies are also discussed.
