Probabilistic and Geometry Aware Neural Surrogate of Scrape Off Layer Plasma Simulations

The paper presents a probabilistic neural surrogate for scrape‑off‑layer (SOL) plasma simulations in tokamaks. By mapping the curvilinear SOLPS‑ITER mesh to three fixed‑size image tensors, the authors preserve geometric adjacency and enable a convolutional network to process the mesh without loss of information. A conditional flow‑matching model is trained on this representation, producing efficient, scalable predictions that capture multiple plausible outcomes—such as distinct hot and cold modes—near the divertor detachment transition and correctly recover known bifurcations in synthetic data.

Data-Driven Reconstruction of Spatially Resolved Electron and Ion Energy Distributions from Macroscopic Plasma Quantities with Deep Neural Networks

Spatially resolved EEDFs/IEDFs provide essential kinetic information about low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) and play a central role in determining transport, chemical reaction rates, and plasma surface interactions. While kinetic simulations directly resolve these distributions, experimental measurements remain challenging and are often invasive, spatially limited, or require assumptions regarding the distribution shape such as a Maxwellian.

SafeDivertor: Faithful Divertor Heat Flux Reconstruction from Macroscopic Plasma State Signals via Time-Frequency Prior Exploitation

arXiv:2608. 05669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Divertor heat-flux analysis is essential for understanding plasma-wall interactions and protecting plasma-facing components in magnetic-confinement fusion devices, while conventional infrared-based inversion is usually performed after discharge and requires heat-conduction modeling with device-specific material properties, divertor geometry, and boundary conditions.

Heteroscedastic Neural Surrogate Modeling for Robust and Rapid Bayesian Inference in Fusion Plasma Diagnostics

arXiv:2608. 19377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Bayesian inference via Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) provides effective parameter estimation, but its real-time application in complex physical systems is hindered by heavy computational bottlenecks and extreme sensitivity to statistical noise.
