Giruzzi, G. Pucella, C. Sozzi, D. Taylor, T. Wakatsuki, L. Burla, C. Leoni, R. Gatto, the JT-60SA integrated project team

“…The decision to use the BgB model is driven not only by its widespread application in predicting scenarios for JET and JT-60U similar to those anticipated for JT-60SA, but also by its low computational cost. Two versions of the hybrid scenario—3.7 MA/2.28 T and 2.7 MA/1.70 T with $P_{\mathrm{aux}} = 19~$ MW—were optimized with respect to the reference METIS simulation to maintain a safety factor with a low magnetic shear region, $q_{\mathrm{min}} \gt 1$ and low shine-through losses. …”
