Prospects of negative triangularity tokamak for advanced steady-state confinement of fusion plasmas
Linjin Zheng, M. T. Kotschenreuther, F. L. Waelbroeck +4
The steady-state confinement, beta limit, and divertor heat load are among the most concerned issues for toroidal confinement of fusion plasmas. In this work, we show that the nega…

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…
