Nuclear fusion technologies have re-gained momentum in the last decade thanks to their
disruptive potential in different fields, such as energy production and space propulsion, and …

This book offers a thorough coverage of the magnetic control of a plasma in a tokamak. A
plasma is a gas in which an important fraction of the particles is ionized, so that the electrons …

In ASDEX Upgrade, experimental efforts aim to establish pace making and mitigation of type-
I edge localized modes (ELMs) in high confinement mode (H-mode) discharges. Injection of …

As energy plays a central role in the world development, it represents as well a major
challenge for sustainable development. Today, more than 80% of the primary energy …

This paper describes some of the control problems faced by the engineers working at the
Joint European Torus (JET), focusing mostly on the control of plasma shape, position, and …

Edge-localized mode (ELM) triggering and pacing in an all-metal wall environment shows
significant differences to a first-wall configuration containing carbon. Here we report on …

Linear gyrokinetic calculations and a quasilinear model are applied to compute the radial
particle fluxes and investigate the properties of the particle transport in a tokamak plasma …

Using a 2 MW 2.45 GHz lower hybrid wave (LHW) system installed in experimental
advanced superconducting tokamak, we have systematically carried out LHW-plasma …

The Japanese large tokamak JT-60 has been focusing its research emphasis on the
development of high performance plasmas, with high confinement, high temperature and …

Experimental observations on core particle and impurity transport from the Axial Symmetric
Divertor Experiment Upgrade [O. Gruber, H.-S. Bosch, S. Günter et al., Nucl Fusion 39, 1321 …
