The pursuit of steady-state economic production of thermonuclear fusion energy has led to
research on the stabilization of the external kink and the resistive wall mode. Advances in …

Poloidal and toroidal rotation has been recognized to play an important role in heat transport
and magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) stability in tokamaks and helical systems. It is well known …

The design progress in a compact low aspect ratio (low A) DEMO reactor,'SlimCS', and its
design issues are reported. The design study focused mainly on the torus configuration …

MAST plasmas with a safety factor above unity and a profile with either weakly reversed
shear or broad low-shear regions, regularly exhibit long-lived saturated ideal …

Abstract Recent EAST/DIII-D joint experiments on the high poloidal beta tokamak regime in
DIII-D have demonstrated fully noninductive operation with an internal transport barrier (ITB) …

Recent DIII-D experiments with reduced neutral beam torque and minimum
nonaxisymmetric perturbations of the magnetic field show a significant reduction of the …

Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMP) have extensively been demonstrated as a
plausible technique for mitigating or suppressing large edge localized modes (ELMs) …

The JT-60SA device has been designed as a highly shaped large superconducting tokamak
with a variety of plasma actuators (heating, current drive, momentum input, stability control …

The JT-60SA project implemented by Japan and Europe is progressing on schedule
towards the first plasma in March 2019. After careful R&D, procurements of the major …

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