This paper reviews current understanding of key physics elements that control the H-mode
pedestal structure, which exists at the boundary of magnetically confined plasmas. The …

The first nonlinear gyrokinetic turbulence simulations that quantitatively reproduce
experimental transport levels in an H-mode pedestal are reported. In the JET-ILW (ITER-like …

In this paper, we present linear and nonlinear gyrokinetic analyses in the pedestal region of
two DIII-D ELMy H-mode discharges using the CGYRO code. The otherwise matched …

Abstract The EUROfusion JET-ILW pedestal database is described, with emphasis on three
main issues. First, the technical aspects are introduced, including a description of the data …

A reduction of the pedestal pressure with increasing separatrix density over pedestal density
(ne sep/ne ped) has been observed in JET. The physics behind this correlation is …

Direct measurements of the pedestal recovery during an edge-localized mode cycle provide
evidence that quasi-coherent fluctuations (QCFs) play a role in the inter-ELM pedestal …

Abstract The'Super H-Mode'regime is predicted to enable pedestal height and fusion
performance substantially higher than standard H-Mode operation. This regime exists due to …

Abstract Type I ELMy H-mode operation in JET with the ITER-like Be/W wall (JET-ILW)
generally occurs at lower pedestal pressures compared to those with the full carbon wall …

The role of the pedestal position on the pedestal performance has been investigated in
AUG, JET-ILW and TCV. When the pedestal is peeling-ballooning (PB) limited, the three …
