Determination of confinement regime boundaries via separatrix parameters on Alcator C-Mod based on a model for interchange-drift-Alfvén turbulence

M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, T. Eich +13

The separatrix operational space (SepOS) model [Eich \& Manz, \emph{Nuclear Fusion} (2021)] is shown to predict the L-H transition, the L-mode density limit, and the ideal MHD ball…
