CRONOS is a suite of numerical codes for the predictive/interpretative simulation of a full
tokamak discharge. It integrates, in a modular structure, a 1D transport solver with general …

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 …

Abstract A 4.6 GHz lower-hybrid current drive (LHCD) system has been firstly commissioned
in EAST in the 2014 campaign. The first LHCD results with 4.6 GHz show that LHW can be …

Abstract Operation of Tore Supra has resumed after a major upgrade of internal components
in order to increase the heat extraction capability to 25 MW for 1000 s and address long …

Quasi-steady operation has been achieved at JET in the high-confinement regime with
internal transport barriers (ITBs). The ITB has been maintained up to 11 s. This duration …

This overview summarizes the latest developments in plasma turbulence simulations and
their impact on transport modelling. The traditional approach, based on the mixing length …

Plasmas regimes with improved core energy confinement properties, ie with internal
transport barriers (ITB), provide a possible route towards simultaneous high fusion …

During noninductively driven discharges in the Tore Supra tokamak, steady sinusoidal
oscillations of the central electron temperature, lasting as long as 2 min, have been …

Electron transport in fusion plasmas is intensively studied in coordinated experiments and
great progress in physics understanding has been achieved during the past years. A …

A review of the LH current drive experiments carried out on the Tore Supra tokamak is
presented. The issues for an effective application of the LH wave at high power in reactor …
