Simulation of a compact ignition tokamak discharge (CIT-2L)

A reference simulation of a compact ignition tokamak (CIT) limiter discharge is carried out using the 1-1/2-D BALDUR transport code. The parameters for the discharge are as in the CIT-2L design; these parameters are described here, and the results of the simulation are discussed. It is found that plasma ignition can be reached and sustained within the specified constraints.
