Abstract
The contents are described of an international pellet ablation database (IPADBASE) that has been assembled to enable studies of pellet ablation theories that are used to describe the physics of an ablating fuel pellet in a tokamak plasma. The database represents an international effort to assemble data from several tokamaks of different magnetic configurations and auxiliary heating methods. In the initial configuration, data from JET, Tore Supra, DIII-D, FTU, TFTR, ASDEX Upgrade, JIPP T-IIU, RTP and T-10 have been included. The database contains details of measurements of deuterium and hydrogen pellet ablation, including pellet mass and speed, plasma electron density and temperature profiles, and pellet ablation light emission. A summary of the database contents and a scaling analysis of the data are presentedKeywords
