Tokamak discharges with improved energy confinement properties arising from internal
transport barriers (ITBs) have certain attractive features, such as a large bootstrap current …

During the last decade, significant progress has been made in the field of pellet injection
with (1) the identification of the drift of the deposited material in the inhomogeneous …

Progress in thermonuclear fusion energy research based on deuterium plasmas
magnetically confined in toroidal tokamak devices requires the development of efficient …

The important goal of adding to the bootstrap current a more flexible tool, capable of
producing and controlling steady-state profiles with a high fraction of non-inductive plasma …

Post-disruption runaway electron (RE) beams in tokamaks with large current can cause
deep melting of the vessel and are one of the major concerns for ITER operations …

Internal transport barriers (ITBs) can provide high tokamak confinement at modest plasma
current. This is desirable for operation with most of the current driven non-inductively by the …

Experiments carried out on the Frascati Tokamak Upgrade (FTU)[B. Angelini et al., Nucl.
Fusion 43, 1632 (2003)] with the injection of deuterium pellets in ohmic, high density …

This paper documents the public release PR08 of the International Tokamak Physics Activity
(ITPA) profile database, which should be of particular interest to the magnetic confinement …

High density internal transport barriers with peaked density profiles have been produced at
JET by optimizing the pellet fuelling, heating power, current drive and plasma start-up. The …

An overview of the FTU results during the period 2003–4 is presented. A prototype ITER-
relevant lower hybrid current drive (LHCD) launcher, the passive active multijunction, has …
