Controlling the boundary layer in fusion-grade, high-performance, plasma discharges is
essential for the successful development of toroidal magnetic confinement power generating …

The path of tokamak fusion and International thermonuclear experimental reactor (ITER) is
maintaining high-performance plasma to produce sufficient fusion power. This effort is …

Edge-localized-modes (ELMs) are a ubiquitous feature of H-mode in tokamaks. When
gradients in the H-mode transport barrier grow to exceed the MHD stability limit the ELM …

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 …

Fusion performance in tokamaks hinges critically on the efficacy of the edge transport barrier
(ETB) in suppressing energy losses. The new concept of'fingerprints' is introduced to identify …

Rapid bifurcations in the plasma response to slowly varying n= 2 magnetic fields are
observed as the plasma transitions into and out of edge-localized mode (ELM) suppression …

Experimental conditions obtained on the DIII-D tokamak in the ITER Similar Shape (ISS)
have been compared extensively with nonlinear gyrokinetic simulation using the CGYRO …

A major scientific success story of magnetic fusion research in the past several decades has
been the theoretical development and experimental testing of the process of turbulence …

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 …

Recent experiments on DIII-D have increased confidence in the ability to suppress edge-
localized modes (ELMs) using edge-resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) in ITER …
