INL’s Teton supercomputer open for business
Idaho National Laboratory has brought its newest high‑performance supercomputer, named Teton, online and made it available to users through the Department of Energy’s Nuclear Science User Facilities program. The system, now the flagship machine in the lab’s Collaborative Computing Center, quadruples INL’s total computing capacity and enters service as the 85th fastest supercomputer in the world.

In GAMMA 10, Alfvén-ion-cyclotron (AIC) waves are spontaneously excited because of the perpendicular ions heating with ion cyclotron range of frequency waves. High-energy ions are transported to axial direction with pitch angle scattering owing to the AIC waves. In the high-energy ion signal detected with a semiconductor detector, the fluctuations with the differential frequencies between discrete peaks of the AIC waves are clearly observed. Recently, a microwave reflectometer detected the AIC mode in the anchor cell. The high-energy ions signal in the axial direction also increases when the AIC mode is excited.
