The CENTAUR Collaboration, Samuel W. Freiberger, Evan Bursch +33
This work presents the compact experimental negative triangularity reactor (CENTAUR), a low overnight cost, high-field tokamak, breakeven reactor design, achieving a predicted tota…
Energy Confinement Time Scaling Law Derived from Paz-Soldan NF 2024
P. Lunia, A. O. Nelson, C. Paz-Soldan
Results from C. Paz-Soldan et al 2024 Nucl. Fusion 64 094002 demonstrate encouraging energy confinement properties for the negative triangularity scenario, similar to or exceeding…
Electromagnetic System Conceptual Design for a Negative Triangularity Tokamak
Sophia Guizzo, Mikhail A. Drabinskiy, Christopher Hansen +7
Negative triangularity (NT) tokamak configurations have several key benefits including sufficient core confinement, improved power handling, and reduced edge pressure gradients tha…
Characterizing the negative triangularity reactor core operating space with integrated modeling
H. S. Wilson, A. O. Nelson, J. McClenaghan +3
NT experiments have demonstrated core performance on par with positive triangularity (PT) H-mode without edge-localized modes (ELMs), encouraging further study of an NT reactor cor…
Achievement of highly radiating plasma in negative triangularity and effect of reactor-relevant seeded impurities on confinement and transport
L. Casali, D. Eldon, T. Odstrcil +10
The first achievement of highly radiating plasmas in negative triangularity is shown with an operational space featuring high core radiation at high Greenwald fraction obtained wit…
Power handling in a highly-radiative negative triangularity pilot plant
M. A. Miller, D. Arnold, M. Wigram +7
This work explores power handling solutions for high-field, highly-radiative negative triangularity (NT) reactors based around the MANTA concept \cite{rutherford_manta_2024}. The d…
MANTA: A Negative-Triangularity NASEM-Compliant Fusion Pilot Plant
MANTA Collaboration, G. Rutherford, H. S. Wilson +38
The MANTA (Modular Adjustable Negative Triangularity ARC-class) design study investigated how negative-triangularity (NT) may be leveraged in a compact, fusion pilot plant (FPP) to…
Characterization of the ELM-free Negative Triangularity Edge on DIII-D
A. O. Nelson, L. Schmitz, T. Cote +18
Tokamak plasmas with strong negative triangularity (NT) shaping typically exhibit fundamentally different edge behavior than conventional L-mode or H-mode plasmas. Over the entire…
Highest Fusion Performance without Harmful Edge Energy Bursts in Tokamak
SangKyeun Kim, Ricardo Shousha, SeongMoo Yang +20
The path of tokamak fusion and ITER is maintaining high-performance plasma to produce sufficient fusion power. This effort is hindered by the transient energy burst arising from th…
TokaMaker: An open-source time-dependent Grad-Shafranov tool for the design and modeling of axisymmetric fusion devices

In this paper, we present a new static and time-dependent MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) equilibrium code, TokaMaker, for axisymmetric configurations of magnetized plasmas, based on the…
Simultaneous access to high normalized current, pressure, density, and confinement in strongly-shaped diverted negative triangularity plasmas
C. Paz-Soldan, C. Chrystal, P. Lunia +12
Strongly-shaped diverted negative triangularity (NT) plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak demonstrate simultaneous access to high normalized current, pressure, density, and confinement. N…
Robust avoidance of edge-localized modes alongside gradient formation in the negative triangularity tokamak edge
A. O. Nelson, L. Schmitz, C. Paz-Soldan +7
In a series of high performance diverted discharges on DIII-D, we demonstrate that strong negative triangularity (NT) shaping robustly suppresses all edge-localized mode (ELM) acti…
