The physical processes producing electron particle transport in the core of tokamak plasmas
are described. Starting from the gyrokinetic equation, a simple analytical derivation is used …

This paper is an overview of recent results relating to turbulent particle and heat transport,
and to the triggering of internal transport barriers (ITBs). The dependence of the turbulent …

The impact of plasma shaping on electron heat transport is investigated in TCV L-mode
plasmas. The study is motivated by the observation of an increase in the energy confinement …

Abstract Theory of ion temperature gradient (ITG) and trapped electron modes (TEMs) is
applied to the study of particle transport in experimental conditions with central electron …

A general feature of particle transport in the core of tokamak plasmas is that when core
particle sources are small, a stationary peaked density profile is provided by a balance of …

Transport analyses using first-principle turbulence codes and 1 1 2-D transport codes
usually study radial transport properties between the tokamak plasma magnetic axis and a …

For the first time, scalings for density peaking in tokamaks are obtained from a database
consisting of observations from two devices, ASDEX Upgrade and JET. The investigation …

Local gyrokinetic calculations of the logarithmic gradients at mid-radius of both electron and
boron densities in ASDEX Upgrade H-mode plasmas are presented and compared with the …

Results from an extensive database analysis of JET density profiles in stationary conditions
show that the density peaking factor n e0/⟨ ne⟩ in JET H modes increases from near 1.2 at …

Core toroidal rotation behavior and momentum transport have been examined in neutral
beam injection (NBI) heated plasmas with and without electron cyclotron resonance heating …
