Weisen and JET Contributors}, title = {Control of the hydrogen:deuterium isotope mixture using pellets in JET}, abstract = {Deuterium pellets are injected into an initially pure hydrogen H-mode plasma in order to control the hydrogen:deuterium (H:D) isotope mixture. The pellets are deposited in the outer 20% of the minor radius, similar to that expected in ITER, creating transiently hollow electron density profiles. A H:D isotope mixture of approximately 45%:55% is obtained in the core with a pellet fuelling throughput of @pel = 0.045 P aux / T e.ped similar to previous pellet fuelling experiments in pure deuterium. Evolution of the H:D mix in the core is reproduced using a simple model, although deuterium transport could be higher at the beginning of the pellet train compared with the flat-top phase.}, year = {2019}, journal = {Nuclear Fusion}, volume = {59}, pages = {106047}, doi = {10.1088/1741-4326/ab3812}, language = {eng}, }
