- Abstract
- The European roadmap towards the realization of fus
ion energy [1] decisively aligns any
effort on scientific and technological fusion resea
rch in Europe along a goal-oriented
program, i.e. the construction and exploitation of
ITER and the preparation of the
demonstration reactor plant DEMO. The integrated ap
proach encompasses the
reorientation of science and technology programs, i
nternational collaborations, education
and training schemes as well as the industry involv
ement, with resources to be focused on
few specific objectives. In this context of growing
competiveness it is quite important for
RFX-mod to carefully reflect upon its own potential
contribution to the scientific
community and consider if and where its program may
be redirected to better exploit the
opportunities of the roadmap.
RFX-mod is a 2MA reversed field pinch experiment wi
th strong connections with the
wider fusion community. The intrinsically 3D nature
of the RFP helical states defines a
natural relationship with the stellarator while the
possibility of running in Tokamak
configuration (180 kA, 0.5 T) makes the powerful MH
D active control system of RFX of
direct interest to the tokamak community. All this
is well testified by strong bi-directional
collaborations with stellarator and tokamak laborat
ories worldwide. The sharing of the
stellarator 3d codes to describe equilibrium, trans
port and stability of the single helicity
on RFX-mod and the successful tests on DIII-D of th
e sub 2 q tokamak scenarios
developed at RFX are two good examples in that res
pect.
Investigations on basics physics, such as for examp
le non linear MHD, plasma wall
interactions and the exploration of new regions of
the parameter space - as with the low q
scenario - are indeed possible in a flexible and m
edium size experiment and represent
activities that can be considered truly DEMO relev
ant.
In this contribution the possible projection of the
RFX program in the next future is
examined on the background of the European roadmap
starting from the most recent
achievements to then describe the current thoughts
on machine modifications. In
particular a new electromagnetic front end - with m
ore sensors and field error correction
coils - that would further reduce the maximum plasm
a deformation and a W wall that
should lead to a reduced recycling for a better den
sity control, are considered to be
important steps for improving the RFX performance,
deepening the understanding of the
RFP configuration and further strengthening the col
laboration with the international
fusion community.
