We develop and test a model, EPED1. 6, for the H-mode pedestal height and width based
upon two fundamental and calculable constraints:(1) onset of non-local peeling–ballooning …

, Nucl. Fusion 39, 2137 (1999)] remains an important challenge. While uncertainties remain,
magnetohydrodynamic stability calculations at intermediate wavelength (the “peeling …

The pressure at the top of the edge transport barrier (or'pedestal height') strongly impacts
fusion performance, while large edge localized modes (ELMs), driven by the free energy in …

One critical issue in steady-state and high-performance operation in future tokamak fusion
reactors is to develop H-mode operational regimes that mitigate or eliminate the large …

The impact of carbon and beryllium/tungsten as plasma-facing components on plasma
radiation, divertor power and particle fluxes, and plasma and neutral conditions in the …

One of our grand challenges towards fusion energy is the achievement of a high-
performance plasma core coupled to a boundary solution. The high confinement mode (H …

This paper reports the first experiment carried out in deuterium–tritium addressing the
integration of a radiative divertor for heat-load control with good confinement. Neon seeding …

Rseduction of heat loading appropriate for the plasma facing components such as the
divertor is crucial for a fusion reactor. Power handling by large radiative power loss has …

Multidevice pedestal scaling experiments in the DIII-D, ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), and JET
tokamaks are presented in order to test two plasma physics pedestal width models. The first …

The ELM triggering mechanism in tokamaks is not yet fully understood. For example, in the
JET tokamak with ITER-like wall (commonly called JET-ILW), the ELMs are sometimes …
