COMPASS Upgrade tokamak: status and plans
Original language description
The COMPASS Upgrade is a medium-sized, high-magnetic-field tokamak (R = 0.9 m, Bt = 5 T, Ip = 2 MA) currently under construction in Prague, Czech Republic. It will provide unique capabilities for addressing some of the key challenges in plasma exhaust physics, advanced confinement modes and advanced plasma configurations, as well as testing new plasma-facing materials and liquid metal divertor concepts. Overview of the engineering design of the main systems, including the vacuum vessel, central solenoid and poloidal field coils, toroidal field coils, support structure, cryostat, cryogenic system, power supply system and machine monitoring and protection system will be given. Next, description of foreseen auxiliary plasma heating systems and plasma diagnostics will be provided as well as a summary of the expected plasma performance and available plasma configurations. Finally, summary of the priority topics for the future experimental programme will be presented, including a) alternative confinement modes, b) power exhaust incl. liquid metals, c) operation with a hot first wall and d) influence of plasma shape on pedestal stability and confinement.
