The pursuit of steady-state economic production of thermonuclear fusion energy has led to
research on the stabilization of the external kink and the resistive wall mode. Advances in …

Recent scientific and technical progress in magnetic fusion experiments has resulted in the
achievement of plasma parameters (density and temperature) which made possible the …

This is a textbook on theoretical plasma physics, which is the science of extremely hot gases
which make up most of the universe and which are used extensively in fusion energy …

A multi-species fluid model is described for the steady state parallel and radial force balance
equations in axisymmetric tokamak plasmas. The bootstrap current, electrical resistivity, and …

Fast ions with energies significantly larger than the bulk ion temperature are used to heat
most tokamak plasmas. Fast ion populations created by fusion reactions, by neutral beam …

The two leading concepts for confining high-temperature fusion plasmas are the tokamak
and the stellarator. Tokamaks are rotationally symmetric and use a large plasma current to …

A fusion nuclear science facility (FNSF) could play an important role in the development of
fusion energy by providing the nuclear environment needed to develop fusion materials and …

The spherical tokamak (ST) is a leading candidate for a Fusion Nuclear Science Facility
(FNSF) due to its compact size and modular configuration. The National Spherical Torus …

Spontaneous formation of an internal transport barrier was observed associated with
improved confinement in the high-β p discharges in the JT-60U tokamak. The radial location …

Neutral beam heating data from JET have been analysed in detail to determine what
proportion of the current is driven non-inductively. It is found that in low density limiter …
