Design of an innovative set of RMP coils for TCABR
POSTER
Abstract
An upgrade of the Tokamak à Chauffage Alfvén Brésilien (TCABR) is being carried out. TCABR is a small tokamak (R0 = 0.62 m, a ≤ 0.2 m, Ip ≤ 120 kA, B0 ≤ 1.1 T) operated at the Institute of Physics of the University of São Paulo, Brazil. Part of this upgrade consists in the installation of an innovative set of ELM control coils to allow for detailed studies of tokamak plasma response. This innovative coil set consists of three toroidal arrays on the low field side, composed of 18 in-vessel coils each, and three toroidal arrays on the high field side, composed of 18 in-vessel coils each. These coils are being designed using the M3D-C1 code and they will allow for the creation of a wide range of magnetic perturbation geometries and spectra, with toroidal mode numbers up to n = 9.
