The major increase in discharge duration and plasma energy in a next step DT fusion
reactor will give rise to important plasma-material effects that will critically influence its …

The role of stable shear flow in suppressing turbulence and turbulent transport in plasmas
and neutral fluids is reviewed. Localized stable flow shear produces transport barriers …

One of the scientific success stories of fusion research over the past decade is the
development of the E× B shear stabilization model to explain the formation of transport …

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 …

Internal transport barriers in tokamak plasmas are explored in order to improve confinement
and stability beyond the reference scenario, used for the ITER extrapolation, and to achieve …

Significant reductions in the size and cost of a fusion power plant core can be realized if
simultaneous improvements in the energy replacement time,, and the plasma pressure or …

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 …

Transport is the outstanding physics issue in the quest for fusion by magnetic confinement.
In spite of the intrinsic difficulty, a great deal of progress has been made in the past 25 years …

A prime goal in physics research is the development of theories which have the universality
needed to explain a wide range of observations. Developed over the past decade, the …
