Equilibrium reconstruction at JET using Stokes model for polarimetry
Participant : Blaise Faugeras.
This paper presents the first application to real JET data
of the new equilibrium code NICE which enables the consistent resolution of the inverse equilibrium
reconstruction problem in the framework of non-linear free-boundary equilibrium coupled
to the Stokes model equation for polarimetry.
The conducted numerical experiments enable first of all to validate NICE by comparing it to
the well-established EFIT code on 4 selected high performance shots.
Secondly the results indicate that the fit to polarimetry measurements clearly benefits
from the use of Stokes vector measurements compared to the classical case of Faraday measurements,
and that the reconstructed
