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…

Meaning of the splitting process for the transition to self-sustained turbulence in a magnetized cylindrical plasma
Stefan Knauer, Chanho Moon, Thomas Schleyerbach +4
When turbulent structures split more frequently before they decay, persistent turbulence forms in neutral fluid shear flows. Whether this concept can be extended to linear magnetiz…
