Simulation of transition dynamics to high confinement in fusion plasmas [PDF]
The transition dynamics from the low (L) to the high (H) confinement mode in magnetically confined plasmas is investigated using a first-principles four-field fluid model.

Fast equilibrium reconstruction by deep learning on EAST tokamak
A deep neural network is developed and trained on magnetic measurements (input) and EFIT poloidal magnetic flux (output) on the EAST tokamak. In optimizing the network architecture, we use automatic optimization to search for the best hyperparameters ...

Dynamics of cold pulses induced by super-sonic molecular beam injection in the EAST tokamak
Evolution of electron temperature, electron density and its fluctuation with high spatial and temporal resolutions are presented for the cold pulse propagation induced by super-sonic molecular beam injection (SMBI) in ohmic plasmas in the EAST tokamak ...

Intermittent electron density and temperature fluctuations and associated fluxes in the Alcator C-Mod scrape-off layer [PDF]
The Alcator C-Mod mirror Langmuir probe system has been used to sample data time series of fluctuating plasma parameters in the outboard mid-plane far scrape-off layer. We present a statistical analysis of one second long time series of electron density,

Reversal of particle flux in collisional-finite beta tokamak discharges [PDF]
The mixed gradient method [Zhong et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 265001 (2013)] is adopted and effects of collisions and finite beta are included in the Weiland 9-equation fluid model.

Reconstruction of plasma density profiles by measuring spectra of radiation emitted from oscillating plasma dipoles [PDF]
We suggest a new method for characterising non-uniform density distributions of plasma by measuring the spectra of radiation emitted from a localised plasma dipole oscillator excited by colliding electromagnetic pulses.

Spatiotemporal evolution of runaway electrons from synchrotron images in Alcator C-Mod
In the Alcator C-Mod tokamak, relativistic runaway electron (RE) generation can occur during the flattop current phase of low density, diverted plasma discharges.
