The quantification of impurities in fusion devices is important to improve understanding of all
impurity-related issues and their solutions. In this study, the deposition of the impurity layer …

Over the past several years, high-β N experiments have been carried out on HL-2A. The
high-β N is realized using double transport barriers (DTBs) with hybrid scenarios. A …

High-β p scenario addresses needs for an attractive tokamak fusion reactor design, where β
p is the normalized plasma poloidal beta. High-β p experiments have been performed …

Theoretical progress in understanding E× B shear suppression of turbulence and zonal flow
relaxation in collisionless toroidal plasma is reviewed. Dependence on the magnetic field …

Transport and loss of beam injected energetic particles (EPs) due to three-dimensional
perturbations, associated with the external kink (XK) instability and fishbone-like mode …

The centrifugal mirror confinement scheme incorporates supersonic rotation of a plasma into
a magnetic mirror device. This concept has been shown experimentally to drastically …

Triangularity is an important shaping parameter in tokamak plasmas that affects the edge
plasma state. In this work, we utilize the BOUTþþ code to study the effect of positive and …

The quantitative analysis and depth profiling of a co-deposition simulating the impurity of the
international thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) has been performed by using laser …

The mission of the DIII-D program is to provide a physics basis for the optimization of
tokamak operations for fusion energy production. This is done through a continuous process …

We analyze the highest energy confinement in tokamak plasmas based on thermodynamic
approach (plasma self-organization). The energy transport coefficients in the saturated …
