Contribution to the multi-machine pedestal scaling from the COMPASS tokamak

Description:
First systematic measurements of pedestal structure during Ohmic and NBI-assisted Type I ELMy H-modes were performed on the COMPASS tokamak in two dedicated experimental campaigns during 2015 and 2016. By adjusting the NBI heating and a toroidal magnetic field, the electron pedestal temperature was increased from 200 eV up to 300 eV, which allowed reaching pedestal collisionality v∗ ped < 1 at q95 ∼3. COMPASS has approached conditions for the Identity experiment done at JET and DIII-D, complementing the range of scanned p∗ ped . The pedestal pressure was successfully reproduced by the EPED model. The dependence of pedestal pressure width on v∗ ped and βpol ped is discussed.

Description:
The COMPASS tokamak, a divertor device with clear H-mode and ITER-relevant geometry, has been re-installed in IPP Prague after its transport from CCFE in UK. The first plasma was achieved in December 2008. Many new diagnostic tools with both high temporal and spatial resolutions have been developed to address the scientific programme of COMPASS focused on H-mode physics and pedestal investigations. In the paper, an overview of existing and in near future planned diagnostics (magnetic, spectroscopy, microwave, probe and beam/particle) on COMPASS is given including their basic technical specifications and achievements. © 2011 EURATOM.
