This chapter reviews the progress accomplished since the redaction of the first ITER Physics
Basis (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137–664) in the field of energetic ion physics and its possible …

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 …

Nuclear fusion is one of the most attractive alternatives to carbon-dependent energy
sources. Harnessing energy from nuclear fusion in a large reactor scale, however, still …

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 …

High fusion power experiments using DT mixtures in ELM-free H mode and optimized shear
regimes in JET are reported. A fusion power of 16.1 MW has been produced in an ELM-free …

Tokamak discharges with improved energy confinement properties arising from internal
transport barriers (ITBs) have certain attractive features, such as a large bootstrap current …

The differences and similarities between the internal transport barriers (ITBs) of tokamak and
helical plasmas are reviewed. By comparing the characteristics of the ITBs in tokamak and …

Significant progress was made over the last decade toward quantitative, fundamental
calculations of turbulent ion thermal transport1 resulting from toroidal ion temperature …

A new sustained high-performance regime, combining discrete edge and core transport
barriers, has been discovered in the DIII-D tokamak. Edge localized modes (ELMs) are …
