Within Europe and worldwide KIT is strongly involved in the development of high power gyrotrons for application in ECRH and ECCD in magnetic confinement of fusion plasmas. KIT is one of the leading labs in Europe for gyrotron development including design of gyrotron components as well as experimental verification of the integral systems in short pulse and long pulse/CW operation. KIT is...
In the frame of a EUROfusion Enabling Research Project (ENR), KIT and NKUA have been working on new concepts for highly-efficient, megawatt-class fusion gyrotron systems that will operate at the 2nd-harmonic of the electron cyclotron frequency. This will reduce the required magnetic flux density by a factor of two and therefore will lead to more compact and cost-efficient gyrotron systems at...
