Recent experimental and simulation work has substantially advanced the understanding of
L-mode plasma edge turbulence and plasma flows and their mutual interaction across the L …

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 …

We present an overview of results from a series of L–H transition experiments undertaken at
JET since the installation of the ITER-like-wall (JET-ILW), with beryllium wall tiles and a …

The European nuclear fusion research community has elaborated a Roadmap to the
realisation of fusion energy in which 'ITER is the key facility and its success is the most …

The paraxial WKB code TORBEAM (Poli, 2001) is widely used for the description of electron-
cyclotron waves in fusion plasmas, retaining diffraction effects through the solution of a set of …

ABSTRACT A major scientific success story of magnetic fusion research in the past several
decades has been the theoretical development and experimental testing of the process of …

JET has been unable to recover historical confinement levels when operating with an ITER-
like wall (ILW) due largely to the inaccessibility of high pedestal temperatures. Finding a …

We show that a class of near-marginal and low-collisional magnetised plasmas naturally
evolve into a globally organised state dubbed the'$\mathbf {E}\times\mathbf {B} $ staircase' …

Electric field Ε or electric potential φ plays a key role in the transport and turbulence of
toroidal plasmas. It is believed that mean radial E r suppresses the turbulence eddies via E× …

We use beam tracing—implemented with a newly-written code, Scotty—and the reciprocity
theorem to derive a model for the linear backscattered power of the Doppler backscattering …
