The physics of ELM-free regimes in EUROfusion tokamaks
M. G. Dunne, M. Faitsch, O. Sauter +25
The development of operational scenarios without large Type-I ELMs is of utmost importance for the stable operation and longevity of future tokamaks. The EUROfusion tokamak exploit…
Stable Deuterium-Tritium burning plasmas with improved confinement in the presence of energetic-ion instabilities
Jeronimo Garcia, Yevgen Kazakov, Rui Coelho +18
Providing stable and clean energy sources is a necessity for the increasing demands of humanity. Energy produced by fusion reactions, in particular in tokamaks, is a promising path…
Identity of the JET M-mode and the ASDEX Upgrade I-phase phenomena
D. I. Réfy, E. R. Solano, N. Vianello +11
An H-mode plasma state free of edge-localized mode (ELM), close to the L-H transition with clear density and temperature pedestal has been observed both at the Joint European Torus…
Gyrokinetic analysis and simulation of pedestals, to identify the culprits for energy losses using fingerprints
M. Kotschenreuther, X. Liu, D. R. Hatch +14
Fusion performance in tokamaks hinges critically on the efficacy of the Edge Transport Barrier (ETB) at suppressing energy losses. The new concept of fingerprints is introduced to…
Magnetic Phase transitions in Plasmas and Transport Barriers
Emilia R. Solano, Richard D. Hazeltine
A model of magnetic phase transitions in plasmas is presented: plasma blobs with pressure excess or defect are dia- or para-magnets and move radially under the influence of the bac…
Observation of confined current ribbon in JET plasmas
E. R. Solano, P. J. Lomas, B. Alper +29
we report the identification of a localised current structure inside the JET plasma. It is a field aligned closed helical ribbon, carrying current in the same direction as the back…
Criticality of the Grad-Shafranov equation: transport barriers and fragile equilibria
Emilia R. Solano
We review criticality theory as a prelude to consideration of criticality of the Grad-Shafranov equation. Novel criticality conditions of ODEs and PDEs are derived, easily evaluate…
