For my project, I will be working on microwave current drive and heating in MAST-U.Microwave heating of a tokamak plasma has the advantage of being able to position the sensitive components far away from the reactor, preventing damage due to neutron bombardment. They can also be used to drive current in the plasma for the generation of the poloidal magnetic field, removing the need for a large central column.MAST-U has recently been equipped with gyrotrons capable of producing microwaves that could be used to heat and drive a current in the plasma. My project will revolve around designing experiments to determine the best way to implement these gyrotrons to achieve this, by comparing the results of multiple models to diagnostic data from MAST-U.

在我的项目中，我将在MAST-U中研究微波电流驱动和加热。托卡马克等离子体的微波加热具有能够将敏感部件定位在远离反应堆的位置的优点，防止因中子轰击而造成的损坏。它们还可以用来驱动等离子体中的电流，从而产生极向磁场，从而消除了对大型中心柱的需要。MAST-U最近配备了能够产生微波的回旋管，可以用来加热和驱动等离子体中的电流。我的项目将围绕设计实验，以确定实现这些陀螺仪的最佳方法，通过比较多个模型的结果与MAST-U的诊断数据来实现这一目标。
