This paper reviews current understanding of key physics elements that control the H-mode
pedestal structure, which exists at the boundary of magnetically confined plasmas. The …

We develop and test a model, EPED1. 6, for the H-mode pedestal height and width based
upon two fundamental and calculable constraints:(1) onset of non-local peeling–ballooning …

Abstract The EUROfusion JET-ILW pedestal database is described, with emphasis on three
main issues. First, the technical aspects are introduced, including a description of the data …

The role of the pedestal position on the pedestal performance has been investigated in
AUG, JET-ILW and TCV. When the pedestal is peeling-ballooning (PB) limited, the three …

Multidevice pedestal scaling experiments in the DIII-D, ASDEX Upgrade (AUG), and JET
tokamaks are presented in order to test two plasma physics pedestal width models. The first …

Pedestal profiles that span the ELM cycle have been obtained and used to test the idea that
the pedestal pressure gradient in MAST is limited by the onset of kinetic ballooning modes …

A dimensionless collisionality scan in low-triangularity plasmas in the Joint European Torus
with the ITER-like wall (JET-ILW) has been performed. The increase of the normalized …

The optimum conditions for access to and sustainment of H-mode plasmas and their
expected plasma parameters in the pre-fusion power operation 1 (PFPO-1) phase of the …

The first high fidelity gyrokinetic simulations of the energy losses in the transport barriers of
large tokamaks in pursuit of fusion gain are presented. These simulations calculate the …
