Abstract

The control of the density profile during the initial plasma current rise is a critical issue to optimize ohmic and fusion heating rates of Ignitor plasmas. Simulations performed with the NGS ablation model, for the reference ignition plasma parameters (n_e0 ≅ n_i0 ≅ 10 ₂₁ m_-3, T_e0 ≅ T_i0 ≅ 11 keV), indicate that deuterium pellets of a few mm (≤ 4 mm) in size injected at 3-4 km/s from the low field side should ensure adequate deep fuelling.
