Microwave heating and current drive on the MAST Upgrade Tokamak.

在我的项目中，我将在Mast-U中从事微波电流驱动和加热工作。托卡马克等离子体的微波加热的优势是能够将敏感元件放置在远离反应堆的地方，防止中子轰击造成的损害。它们还可以用来驱动等离子体中的电流，以产生极向磁场，而不需要一个大的中心柱。MAST-U最近配备了回旋管，能够产生微波，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，通过将多个模型的结果与MAST-U的诊断数据进行比较，来确定实现这一目标的最佳方式。

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.
