Overview of the JET Deuterium-Tritium fusion experiments

Henri Weisen obtained his PhD in 1985 from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL).

Since then, he worked on plasma physics in Swiss Plasma Center. In JET, he was deputy Task Force Leader for the Task

Force ‘Diagnostics’ (2001) and deputy Task Force Leader for ‘ Physics and Technology for ITER’ (2015-2020)

He developed a multi-purpose database and analysis platform, used at JET under the name ‘JETPEAK’ .

His latest research interests include isotope effects on confinement, transport and energetic particle physics relevant to the full tritium and D-T campaigns (2020-2021).

He has also led the design of the neutron shielding for the TCV tokamak at Swiss Plasma Center

He is currently a consultant at Tokamak Energy Ltd, UK, however this presentation is entirely in the quality of member of the Swiss Plasma Center
