In this paper, we review the thermal plasma confinement and transport properties observed
and predicted in low aspect ratio tokamaks, or spherical tokamaks (STs), which can depart …

Doppler backscattering (DBS) is a microwave diagnostics method typically used to study the
plasma rotation velocity. Apart from conventional techniques, more advanced forms of DBS …

The work presents the results of the energy confinement study carried out on the compact
spherical tokamak Globus-M2 with a toroidal magnetic field as high as 0.8 T. A reproducible …

The paper provides an overview of the results obtained on the spherical tokamak Globus-M2
in 2019–2020. The experiments were performed with the toroidal magnetic field up to 0.8 T …

Hot ion mode was recently achieved at the Globus-M2 spherical tokamak when the toroidal
magnetic field was as high as 0.9 T and plasma current 0.35 MA. The injection of two neutral …

It is well documented that the central electron temperature in the national spherical torus
experiment (NSTX) remains largely unchanged as the external heating power, and hence …

NBI-assisted plasma heating with one or two injectors of fast neutral atoms was studied at
the Globus-M2 spherical tokamak at the toroidal magnetic fields of 0.8–0.9 T and plasma …

The first results of investigation of edge localized modes (ELMs) in the Globus-M2 tokamak
using the Doppler backscattering method are presented in this paper. Specifically, ELMs that …

The mission of the low aspect ratio spherical tokamak NSTX-U is to advance the physics
basis and technical solutions required for optimizing the configuration of next-step steady …

A new model for interaction between the internal reconnections caused by sawtooth and the
edge-localized modes (ELM) was presented. The experimental evidence of the coupling …
