Empirical estimates indicate that the transient divertor power load induced by type-I ELMs in the standard H-mode ITER scenario might result in intolerably short target life times. Significant experimental effort has been put on the exploration of recipes ...
Advanced tokamak regimes obtained in ASDEX Upgrade, DIII-D, FF-U, JET, JT-60U, TCV and Tore Supra experiments are assessed both in terms of their fusion performance and capability for ultimately reaching steady-state using data from the international inter ...
An overview is given of the wide range of activities contained within recent R&D being performed within Europe on In-vessel materials for structural, heat sink and plasma facing purposes for ITER. The effect of creep-fatigue interaction on the fatigue life ...
The structure of the naturally occurring velocity shear layer and the dynamical coupling between gradients and transport have been investigated in the JET plasma boundary region. The velocity shear layer appears to organize itself to reach a condition in w ...
The spectrum of turbulent density fluctuations at long poloidal wavelengths in the edge plasma of the DIII-D tokamak peaks at nonzero radial wave number. The associated electric-potential fluctuations cause sheared E~×B flows primarily in the poloidal dire ...
A view of recent experimental results and progress in the characterization of the statistical properties of edge turbulence in fusion plasmas is given. The study of the dynamical interplay between fluctuations in gradients, turbulent transport and radial e ...
This paper presents an overview of results of the 1994/95 experimental campaign on JET with the new pumped divertor and draws implications for ITER in the areas of detached and radiative divertor plasmas, the use of beryllium as a divertor target the mater ...
Alfven eigenmodes (AEs) are studied to assess their stability in high density reactor relevant regimes where T(i)approximate to T-e and as a diagnostic tool. Stable AEs are excited with active magnetohydrodynamics antennas in the range of the expected AE f ...
Global Alfven eigenmodes are studied using fluid and kinetic plasma models to determine how the finite Larmor excursions of the bulk species and the resonant Landau interactions modify the spectrum in the toroidicity Alfven eigenmode (TAE) range of frequen ...
