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 …

Progress in the area of MHD stability and disruptions, since the publication of the 1999 ITER
Physics Basis document (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137–2664), is reviewed. Recent theoretical …

This special issue of Fusion Science and Technology is a comprehensive review of the main
physical and technological results achieved with the A xial S ymmetric D ivertor EX periment …

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-performance and long-pulse operation is a crucial goal of current magnetic fusion
research. Here, we demonstrate a high-confinement plasma regime known as an H-mode …

Significant progress has been made in the area of advanced modes of operation that are
candidates for achieving steady state conditions in a fusion reactor. The corresponding …

The behaviour of tungsten in the core of hybrid scenario plasmas in JET with the ITER-like
wall is analysed and modelled with a combination of neoclassical and gyrokinetic codes. In …

This paper reports results on the progress in steady-state high-β p ELMy H-mode discharges
in JT-60U. A fusion triple product, n D (0) τ ET i (0), of 3.1× 10 20 m− 3 s keV under full non …

In thermonuclear fusion research using magnetic confinement, the tokamak is the leading
candidate for achieving the conditions required for a reactor. An international experiment …

We demonstrate that in a 3D resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulation, for some
parameters it is possible to form a stationary state in a tokamak where a saturated …
