Experiments have been carried out at the EAST tokamak to study ITER-relevant scenario
integration issues, related to edge localized mode (ELM) control in H-mode plasmas by the
application of three-dimensional (3D) resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs), which have
a large impact on the execution of the ITER research plan. The EAST experiments have
successfully demonstrated ELM suppression at normalized torque inputs similar to ITER.
The application of RMP fields with high toroidal mode number (n= 4) reduces the impact of …

Experiments have been carried out at the EAST tokamak to study ITER-relevant scenario
integration issues of ELM-suppressed/ELM-mitigated H-mode plasmas by the application of
3-D magnetic field perturbations (RMPs), which have a large impact on the execution of the
ITER Research Plan. These include the impact of ELM mitigation and suppression on
particle and energy confinement and its dependence of the toroidal spectrum of the applied
perturbation, compatibility with low input torque operation, pellet fuelling and control of the …
