Confinement improvement in H-mode-like plasmas in helical systems
The reduction of the anomalous transport due to the inhomogeneous radial electric field is theoretically studied for toroidal helical plasmas. The self-sustained interchange-mode turbulence is analysed for a system with magnetic shear and magnetic hill.

Radial localization of electron temperature pedestal and ELM-like events using ECE measurements at Wendelstein 7-X [PDF]
A magnetic configuration scan was performed at Wendelstein 7-X stellarator by varying the rotational transform to analyze the plasma confinement for magnetic configurations with different edge magnetic island locations and sizes.

The dependence of confinement on the isotope mass in the core and the edge of AUG and JET-ILW H-mode plasmas [PDF]
Abstract Experiments in ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) and JET with the ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) are performed to separate the pedestal and core contributions to confinement in H-modes with different main ion masses. A strong isotope mass dependence in the pedestal is found which is enhanced at high gas puffing. This is because the ELM type changes

Glass transition of charged particles in two-dimensional confinement [PDF]
The glass transition of mesoscopic charged particles in two-dimensional confinement is studied by mode-coupling theory. We consider two types of effective interactions between the particles, corresponding to two different models for the distribution of ...

Effect of N2, Ne and Ar seeding on Alcator C-Mod H-mode confinement [PDF]
The mitigation of divertor heat fluxes is an active topic of investigation on existing tokamaks. One approach uses radiation, both inside and outside the last closed flux surface (LCFS), to convert plasma thermal energy, usually directed towards ...

The I-mode confinement regime at ASDEX Upgrade: global propert ies and characterization of strongly intermittent density fluctuations [PDF]
Properties of the Imode confinement regime on the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak are summarized. A weak dependence of the power threshold for the LI transition on the toroidal magnetic field strength is found.

H-mode grade confinement in L-mode edge plasmas at negative triangularity on DIII-D [PDF]
Plasmas with a negative triangularity shape have been created on the DIII-D tokamak that, despite maintaining standard L-mode edge radial profiles, reach volume averaged pressure levels typical of H-mode scenarios. Within the auxiliary power available for these experiments, plasmas exhibit near-zero power degradation while sustaining βN = 2.7 and H98 ...
