Experimental drift turbulence and zonal flow studies in magnetically confined plasma
experiments are reviewed. The origins of drift waves, transition to drift turbulence and drift …

Edge-localized-modes (ELMs) are a ubiquitous feature of H-mode in tokamaks. When
gradients in the H-mode transport barrier grow to exceed the MHD stability limit the ELM …

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

The two leading concepts for confining high-temperature fusion plasmas are the tokamak
and the stellarator. Tokamaks are rotationally symmetric and use a large plasma current to …

Divertor detachment offers a promising solution to the challenge of plasma-wall interactions
for steady-state operation of fusion reactors. Here, we demonstrate the excellent …

An improved energy confinement regime, I-mode, is studied in Alcator C-Mod, a compact
high-field divertor tokamak using ion cyclotron range of frequencies (ICRFs) auxiliary …

The paper presents a review of the development of edge plasma modeling at ITER and of its
interaction with the evolving divertor design. The SOLPS (B2-Eirene) code has been …

A fusion nuclear science facility (FNSF) could play an important role in the development of
fusion energy by providing the nuclear environment needed to develop fusion materials and …

Alpha particles with energies on the order of megaelectronvolts will be the main source of
plasma heating in future magnetic confinement fusion reactors. Instead of heating fuel ions …

Nonlinear electromagnetic stabilization by suprathermal pressure gradients found in specific
regimes is shown to be a key factor in reducing tokamak microturbulence, augmenting …
