Experimental drift turbulence and zonal flow studies in magnetically confined plasma
experiments are reviewed. The origins of drift waves, transition to drift turbulence and drift …

The differences and similarities between the internal transport barriers (ITBs) of tokamak and
helical plasmas are reviewed. By comparing the characteristics of the ITBs in tokamak and …

The verification and calibration of a new quasi-linear transport model with a large database
of gyrokinetic turbulence simulations is presented in this paper. In a previous paper …

This paper describes advances made in the field of energetic-particle physics since the
topical review of Alfvén eigenmode observations in toroidal plasmas (Wong 1999 Plasma …

New transport experiments on JET indicate that ion stiffness mitigation in the core of a
rotating plasma, as described by Mantica et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 175002 (2009) PRLTAO …

ABSTRACT A major scientific success story of magnetic fusion research in the past several
decades has been the theoretical development and experimental testing of the process of …

The instability that was previously identified (Gorelenkov 2009 Phys. Plasmas 16 056107)
as a fast-ion driven beta-induced Alfvén-acoustic eigenmode (BAAE) in DIII-D was …

Interaction between a magnetic island and turbulence has been intensively studied in recent
years with advance of plasma diagnostics in various plasma experiment devices such as …

Remarkable progress has been made in diagnosing energetic particle instabilities on
present-day machines and in establishing a theoretical framework for describing them. This …

In magnetic fusion plasmas, a transport barrier is essential to improve the plasma
confinement. The key physics behind the formation of a transport barrier is the suppression …
