Numerical assessment of ICRF-specific plasma-wall interaction in the new ITER baseline using the SSWICH-SW code

In 2023, switching the material on the first wall of ITER to tungsten (W) was recommended.In magnetic Fusion devices, waves in the Ion Cyclotron Range of Frequencies (ICRF) interact with the Scrape-Off Layer (SOL) via RF-sheath rectification.This contribution re-assesses this phenomenon close to the ITER ICRF antenna, focusing on the ICRF-specific
