This study demonstrates that using spin-polarized deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel with more
deuterium than tritium can increase tritium burn efficiency (TBE) by at least an order of …

Toroidal rotation is critical for fusion in tokamaks, since it stabilizes instabilities that can
otherwise cause disruptions or degrade confinement. Unlike present-day devices, ITER …

The first real-time profile control experiments integrating magnetic and kinetic variables were
performed on DIII-D in view of regulating and extrapolating advanced tokamak scenarios to …

An integrated plasma profile control strategy, ARTAEMIS, is being developed for
extrapolating present-day advanced tokamak (AT) scenarios to steady-state operation. The …
