On the feasibility of Ohmically heated negative triangularity tokamak power plants
Alessandro Balestri, Justin Ball, Stefano Coda
Negative triangularity tokamak plasmas feature naturally enhanced confinement in the so-called L-mode regime, irrespective of the power of external heating. This is in contrast to…
