Experimental Evidence for Increased Particle Fluxes Due to a Change in Transport at the Separatrix near Density Limits on Alcator C-Mod

M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, T. Eich +5

Experimental inferences of cross-field particle flux at the separatrix, , show rapid growth near H-mode and L-mode density limits at high magnetic field on…

A predictive formula for the H-mode electron separatrix density: Bridging regression and physics-based models across C-Mod, AUG and JET tokamaks

D. Silvagni, O. Grover, A. Stagni +27

The electron density at the separatrix () plays a central role in balancing energy confinement, detachment achievement, and ELM suppression in tokamaks, thereby…

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…

The separatrix operational space of next-step fusion experiments: From ASDEX Upgrade data to SPARC scenarios

Thomas Eich, Thomas Body, Michael Faitsch +13

Fusion power plants require ELM-free, detached operation to prevent divertor damage and erosion. The separatrix operational space (SepOS) is proposed as a tool for identifying acce…

Particle control via cryopumping and its impact on the edge plasma profiles of Alcator C-Mod

M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, S. Mordijck +4

At the high proposed for high-field fusion reactors, it is uncertain whether ionization, as opposed to plasma transport, will be most influential in determining at…

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…

Kinetic-Ballooning-Bifurcation in Tokamak Pedestals Across Shaping and Aspect-Ratio

J. F. Parisi, A. O. Nelson, R. Gaur +16

We use a new gyrokinetic threshold model to predict a bifurcation in tokamak pedestal width-height scalings that depends strongly on plasma shaping and aspect-ratio. The bifurcatio…
