Nuclear fusion is one of the most attractive alternatives to carbon-dependent energy
sources. Harnessing energy from nuclear fusion in a large reactor scale, however, still …

A decade-long operation of the Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research
(KSTAR) has contributed significantly to the operation of superconducting tokamak devices …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) represents a mainstay among the diagnostic imaging
tools in modern healthcare. Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) represents a fundamental …

A tokamak relies on the axisymmetric magnetic fields to confine fusion plasmas and aims to
deliver sustainable and clean energy. However, misalignments arise inevitably in the …

The density dependence of edge-localized-mode (ELM) suppression and density pump-out
(density reduction) by n= 2 resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) is consistent with the …

A robust theoretical framework for describing the explosive growth of the magneto-hydro-
dynamic (MHD) and turbulence-based instabilities in toroidal plasmas can only be achieved …

In tokamaks, a leading platform for fusion energy, periodic filamentary plasma eruptions
known as edge-localized modes occur in plasmas with high-energy confinement and steep …

Edge-localized mode (ELM) suppression by resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs)
generally occurs over very narrow ranges of the plasma current (or magnetic safety factor q …

Two-fluid nonlinear MHD simulations using the TM1 code demonstrate that the formation of
magnetic islands at the top and bottom of the H-mode pedestal, together with the strong …

Abstract The integrated Resonant Magnetic Perturbation (RMP)-based Edge-Localized
Mode (ELM)-crash-control process aims to enhance the plasma performance during the …
