This paper reviews current understanding of key physics elements that control the H-mode
pedestal structure, which exists at the boundary of magnetically confined plasmas. The …

In a series of high performance diverted discharges on DIII-D, we demonstrate that strong
negative triangularity (NT) shaping robustly suppresses all edge-localized mode (ELM) …

Strongly-shaped diverted negative triangularity (NT) plasmas in the DIII-D tokamak
demonstrate simultaneous access to high normalized density, current, pressure, and …

Instability to high toroidal mode number (n) ballooning modes has been proposed as the
primary gradient-limiting mechanism for tokamak equilibria with negative triangularity …

This article presents a global reduced model for slab-like microtearing modes (MTMs) in the
H-mode pedestal, which reproduces distinctive features of experimentally observed …

In this work, we present first-of-their-kind nonlinear local gyrokinetic (GK) simulations of
electromagnetic turbulence at mid-radius in the burning plasma phase of the conceptual …

Nonlinear multiscale gyrokinetic simulations of a Joint European Torus edge pedestal are
used to show that electron-temperature-gradient (ETG) turbulence has a rich three …

In this study, gyrokinetic simulations are used to study pedestal fluctuations for DIII-D
discharge 174082 using the GENE code. Nonlinear local simulations indicate that electron …

A new, comprehensive set of evidence reveals that Micro-Tearing Modes (MTMs) dominate
pedestal electron heat transport in an H-mode experiment in the DIII-D tokamak. The …

Among the peripheral instabilities observed at the Globus-M2 tokamak, two types of edge
localized modes (ELMs) are brought into focus: ELMs synchronized and desynchronized …
