We review and analyze the available information on the nuclear-fusion cross sections that
are most important for solar energy generation and solar neutrino production. We provide …

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 …

Progress in the area of MHD stability and disruptions, since the publication of the 1999 ITER
Physics Basis document (1999 Nucl. Fusion 39 2137–2664), is reviewed. Recent theoretical …

Localized electron heating and current drive, like those produced by electron cyclotron
heating (ECH) systems, are powerful tools for controlling the sawtooth period. They allow the …

Confinement in TCV electron cyclotron heated discharges was studied as a function of
plasma shape, ie as a function of elongation, 1.1< κ< 2.15, and triangularity,-0.65⩽ δ⩽ 0.55 …

High-power millimeter wave sources are a key enabling technology in fusion energy
research. The present state of the art of application of these sources to the areas of heating …

Different types of central relaxation oscillations are observed in the presence of ECH
depending on the location of the deposited power. In the TCV tokamak, normal sawteeth, ie …

Quasi-stationary, high β tokamak plasmas (β N dia≈ 2) have been developed in the
COMPASS-D tokamak using ECRH. These regimes are sustained for 20 energy …

The sawtooth induced q-profile evolution was modelled at ASDEX Upgrade and validated
with imaging motional Stark effect (IMSE) measurements. The equilibrium current …

Experimental investigations of sawteeth interaction with fast ions measured by collective
Thomson scattering on TEXTOR are presented. Time-resolved measurements of localized …
