Model for the transition to the radiatively improved mode in a tokamak

MZ Tokar, J Ongena, B Unterberg, RR Weynants - Physical Review Letters, 2000 - APS
A model for the transition to the radiatively improved (RI) mode triggered in tokamaks by
seeding of impurities is proposed. This model takes into account that with increasing plasma …
