In addition to the operational limits imposed by MHD stability on plasma current and
pressure, an independent limit on plasma density is observed in confined toroidal plasmas …

The understanding and predictive capability of transport physics and plasma confinement is
reviewed from the perspective of achieving reactor-scale burning plasmas in the ITER …

The dependence of plasma transport and confinement on the main hydrogenic ion isotope
mass is of fundamental importance for understanding turbulent transport and, therefore, for …

PROCESS is a reactor systems code–it assesses the engineering and economic viability of
a hypothetical fusion power station using simple models of all parts of a reactor system, from …

Experimental investigations carried out in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak under various
conditions demonstrate that the ion heat flux at the plasma edge plays a key role in the L–H …

Reduction or elimination of edge localized modes (ELMs) while maintaining high
confinement is essential for future fusion devices, eg, the ITER. An ELM-free regime was …

Compact optimized stellarators offer novel solutions for confining high-β plasmas and
developing magnetic confinement fusion. The three-dimensional plasma shape can be …

Plasmas are created by heating gases through the absorption of ionizing radiation in the
visible through the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum and through collisional …

The design of future fusion reactors and their operational scenarios requires an accurate
prediction of the plasma confinement. We have developed a new model that integrates …
