 note = {Existing methods for diagnostics and control are still insufficient to deal with the various kinds of instabilities and collective dynamics that occur in magnetically confined fusion plasmas, which may impact the missions of the ITER and DEMO  projects. Using small-scale laser experiments on J-KAREN-P, numerical simulations on the JFRS-1 supercomputer and theoretical analyses, we are investigating whether short pulses (ps-fs) of a high power laser (TW-PW) may be  used to address some of these issues. The object of interest is the electron-free positively charged plasma wake channel that is carved out by a laser pulse with relativistic intensity. Using the relativistic PIC codes EPOCH and REMP, we simulate the long-time evolution of such wake channels in the presence of a strong magnetic field (~2T) as is typical for tokamaks. We demonstrate that there exists a parameter window where the after-glow dynamics of the magnetized wake channels are effectively independent of the laser wavelength. This justifies scaled simulations with artificially increased wavelengths, which reduces the computational expenses to the point where long-time 3D simulations become feasible. We compare the results of recent 2D and 3D simulations and examine the effects of the plasma density and magnetic field strength via parameter scans. In particular, we will report our observations regarding particle acceleration, charge separation and the generation of magnetic vortices. First insights concerning the role of thermal motion will be discussed along with possible implications for tokamak plasma control and diagnostics., 5th Kyoto U.-UNIST Workshop},
