METIS is a numerical code aiming at fast full tokamak plasma analyses and predictions. It
combines 0D scaling-law normalised heat and particle transport with 1D current diffusion …

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 NSTX operates at low aspect ratio (R/a∼ 1.3) and high beta (up to 40%), allowing tests
of global confinement and local transport properties that have been established from higher …

We present a topical review of the detailed experimental investigations of the Electron
Temperature Gradient (ETG) instability-induced turbulence and associated transport that …

Experimental observations in JET tokamak plasmas and gyrokinetic simulations point to an
important role, for electron heat transport, of electron-scale instabilities and of their …

While ion thermal transport in spherical tokamaks STs can approach the level of
neoclassical theory, electron thermal transport is almost always anomalous. 1–3 As a …

Experiments are described that have increased our understanding of the transport and
stability physics that set the H-mode edge pedestal width and height, determine the onset of …

Electron-scale turbulence is predicted to drive anomalous electron thermal transport.
However, experimental study of its relation with transport is still in its early stage. On the …

The electron temperature gradient (ETG) mode, which is believed to be one of the strongest
candidates for the anomalous electron energy transport in plasmas, is difficult to detect in …

Theory and experiments have shown that electron temperature gradient (ETG) turbulence
on the electron gyro-scale, k⊥ ρ e≲ 1, can be responsible for anomalous electron thermal …
