Validation of BEAMS3D against fast-ion D-alpha measurements at ASDEX-Upgrade using FIDASIM by D. Kulla, S. Lazerson, A. Kappatou, M. Weiland, R.C. Wolf, the ASDEX Upgrade Team

“…We obtained synthetic D _α spectra using the FIDASIM code, leveraging a newly developed interface that allows a distribution function from BEAMS3D to be used. Comparing the simulated distributions from BEAMS3D and the well-established NUBEAM codes to the data shows that both codes reproduce the experiment equally well given the same initial conditions. …”
