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…

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…
