This paper presents an overview of results from L–H transition experiments that were
performed at ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) with the aim of identifying the underlying mechanisms …

One of our grand challenges towards fusion energy is the achievement of a high-
performance plasma core coupled to a boundary solution. The high confinement mode (H …

The formation of the equilibrium radial electric field (Er) has been studied experimentally at
ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) in L-modes of “favorable”(ion∇ B-drift toward primary X-point) and …

Over previous campaigns, an intense experimental program on advanced tokamak (AT)
scenarios, has been carried out at the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak with full-tungsten wall …

To achieve their goals, future thermonuclear reactors such as ITER and DEMO are expected
to operate plasmas with a high magnetic field, triangularity and confinement. To address the …

An overview of recent results obtained at the tokamak ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) is given. A
work flow for predictive profile modelling of AUG discharges was established which is able …

The I-mode confinement regime is promising for future reactor operation due to high energy
confinement without high particle confinement. However, the role of edge turbulence in …

In some conditions, I-mode plasmas can feature pedestal relaxation events (PREs) that
transiently enhance the energy reaching the divertor target plates. To shed light on their …

A simulation study has been conducted of the physical mechanisms behind the weakly
coherent mode (WCM) and its produced particle transport in the I-mode edge plasmas by …
