Neoclassical transport processes are important to the understanding of plasma confinement
physics in doubly periodic magnetized toroidal plasmas, especially, after the impact of the …

Interaction between a magnetic island and turbulence has been intensively studied in recent
years with advance of plasma diagnostics in various plasma experiment devices such as …

Deep reinforcement learning (RL) has shown immense potential for learning to control
systems through data alone. However, one challenge deep RL faces is that the full state of …

Key plasma physics and real-time control elements needed for robustly stable operation of
high fusion power discharges in ITER have been demonstrated in recent research …

We present the first evidence for the existence of a neoclassical toroidal rotation driven in a
direction counter to the plasma current by nonaxisymmetric, nonresonant magnetic fields. At …

Control for tokamaks, the leading candidate technology for nuclear fusion, is an important
pursuit since the realization of nuclear fusion as an energy source would result in virtually …

Magnetic islands are a ubiquitous feature of magnetically confined plasmas. They arise as
the result of plasma instabilities as well as externally imposed symmetry-breaking …

Abstract Small three-dimensional (3D) magnetic field perturbations have many interesting
and possibly useful effects on tokamak and quasi-symmetric stellarator plasmas. Plasma …

This paper reviews the effects of resonant magnetic perturbation (RMP) on classical tearing
modes (TMs) and neoclassical tearing modes (NTMs) from the theory, experimental …

Tokamaks have demonstrated excellent plasma confinement capability because of their
symmetry but has an intrinsic drawback because of their pulsed inductive operation. Efforts …
