TL;DR: In this paper, the physics base for the ITER physics design guidelines is reviewed in view of application to DEMO and areas are pointed out in which improvement is needed to arrive at a consistent set of DEMO Physics Design Guidelines.

TL;DR: In this paper, the physical processes producing electron particle transport in the core of tokamak plasmas are described, and a simple analytical derivation is used as guidance to illustrate the main mechanisms driving turbulent particle convection.

TL;DR: In the European fusion roadmap, ITER is followed by a demonstration fusion power reactor (DEMO), for which a conceptual design is under development as mentioned in this paper, and the first results of a coherent effort to develop the relevant physics knowledge for that are reported by European experts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors extrapolate the existing physics basis on power and particle exhaust to DEMO and show that the maximum energy loss per ELM to the divertor can be reduced by more than an order of magnitude without a strong reduction of confinement.

TL;DR: In this article, the main contributions to off-diagonal particle and toroidal momentum transport are reviewed by means of a rather simplified description, which aims at providing, when possible, a direct connection between theoretical, modelling and experimental research.
