CRONOS is a suite of numerical codes for the predictive/interpretative simulation of a full
tokamak discharge. It integrates, in a modular structure, a 1D transport solver with general …

The sawtooth instability in tokamak plasmas results in a periodic reorganization of the core
plasma. A typical sawtooth cycle consists of a quiescent period, during which the plasma …

Significant progress has been made in the area of advanced modes of operation that are
candidates for achieving steady state conditions in a fusion reactor. The corresponding …

Demonstration of DEMO relevant fusion power (Pfus) level and tritium self-sufficiency are
two important goals of the China fusion engineering testing reactor (CFETR). In this work the …

Abstract Recent EAST/DIII-D joint experiments on the high poloidal beta tokamak regime in
DIII-D have demonstrated fully noninductive operation with an internal transport barrier (ITB) …

The high poloidal-beta (β P) regime was first proposed as a high bootstrap current scenario
for a steady-state fusion pilot plant (FPP) in the 1990s (Kikuchi in Nucl Fusion 30: 265 …

A detailed study of lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) in ITER is provided, focusing on the
wave propagation and current drive mechanisms. A combination of ray-tracing and Fokker …

One of the three goals of the ITER project is to demonstrate fusion gain Q≥ 5 in steady-state
operation (SSO). A reassessment of the necessary conditions for Q≥ 5 SSO in ITER has …

In recent years, EAST has achieved a 60-s scale steady-state plasma operation (SSO),
which is electron dominant heated by the electron cyclotron wave and low hybrid wave …

Nuclear fusion on earth is a highly complex and challenging multidisciplinary field that aims
to solve the global energy puzzle by providing infinite energy with zero carbon emissions …
