Since the last IAEA Fusion Energy Conference in 2016, the EAST physics experiments have
been developed further in support of high-performance steady-state operation for ITER and …

The high poloidal-beta (β P) regime was first proposed as a high bootstrap current scenario
for a steady-state fusion pilot plant (FPP) in the 1990s (Kikuchi in Nucl Fusion 30: 265 …

Divertor detachment offers a promising solution to the challenge of plasma-wall interactions
for steady-state operation of fusion reactors. Here, we demonstrate the excellent …

Abstract Recent Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) experiments
have successfully demonstrated a long-pulse steady-state scenario with improved plasma …

Abstract A database of DIII-D plasmas without edge-localized modes (ELMs) compares the
operating space and plasma performance of stationary no-ELM regimes found in …

To prepare for steady-state operation of future fusion reactors (eg the International
Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor and China Fusion Engineering Test Reactor …

We review progress made on the advanced tokamak path to fusion energy by the DIII-D
National Fusion Facility (Luxon et al. in Nucl Fusion 42: 614, 2002). The advanced tokamak …

A recent EAST experiment has successfully demonstrated long pulse steady-state high
plasma performance scenario and core-edge integration since the last IAEA in 2018. A …

Recently, the first ever 100 s long, steady-state H-mode discharge with good control of
impurities, core and edge MHD stabilities, and heat exhaust was demonstrated in the …

Integration of divertor detachment with a high-performance (β N∼ 3, β p> 2, H 98∼ 1.5) core
plasma has been demonstrated in DIII-D high-β p (poloidal beta) plasmas associated with a …
