Empirical impact of near-separatrix plasma and neutral transport on the pedestal in the transition between EDA and ELMy H-modes on Alcator C-Mod
M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, S. Saarelma +16
The transition between the ELMy H-mode and the EDA H-mode is studied on Alcator C-Mod using an experimental database and predictive pedestal models. High-resolution Thomson scatter…

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…

Enhanced pedestal transport driven by edge collisionality on Alcator C-Mod and its role in regulating H-mode pedestal gradients
M. A. Miller, J. W. Hughes, A. M. Rosenthal +7
Experimental measurements of plasma and neutral profiles across the pedestal are used in conjunction with 2D edge modeling to examine pedestal stiffness in Alcator C-Mod H-mode pla…
