Motional Stark effect (MSE) measurements of microwave-driven current profile on MAST-Upgrade

我于2019年在谢菲尔德大学完成了机械工程本科学位。在过去的几年里，我去过一些地方，在不同的部门和角色工作过，包括在核裂变领域，在那里我是欣克利角C项目的系统工程师。在这段时间里，我对核聚变变得非常感兴趣，并决定在约克申请CDT。虽然我读的是工程学学士学位，但我一直热爱物理学，现在很高兴能攻读核聚变博士学位！我的项目将是等离子体诊断，特别是使用运动斯塔克效应(MSE)来测量内部磁俯仰角，然后可以用它来推断MAST-U托卡马克中的电流分布。我将主要驻扎在库勒姆聚变能源中心(CCFE)。该项目的进一步发展可能包括设计一种方案，使用MSE诊断实时控制磁场的安全系数(Q分布)。“

I completed my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield in 2019. For the past few years I have travelled a little and worked in various sectors and roles, including in nuclear fission where I worked as a systems engineer on the Hinkley Point C project. I became very interested in fusion during this time and decided to apply for the CDT here at York. Although I did my undergraduate degree in engineering, I have always loved physics and am now very happy to be doing a PhD in nuclear fusion!My project will be on plasma diagnostics, specifically using the Motional Stark Effect (MSE) to measure the internal magnetic pitch angle, which can then be used to infer the distribution of current in the MAST-U tokamak. I will be based mostly at the Culham Centre for Fusion Energy (CCFE).Further development of the project could include designing a scheme for real-time control of the safety factor (q-profile) of the magnetic field using the MSE diagnostic."
