TL;DR: In this paper, the limiting factors for transport, stability, and current profile control in advanced operating modes are discussed in advanced tokamak operating modes with a relaxed, fully non-inductive current profile.
Abstract: Advanced tokamaks seek to achieve a high bootstrap current fraction without sacrificing fusion power density or fusion gain. Good progress has been made towards the DIII-D research goal of demonstrating a high-β advanced tokamak plasma in steady state with a relaxed, fully non-inductive current profile and a bootstrap current fraction greater than 50%. The limiting factors for transport, stability, and current profile control in advanced operating modes are discussed in this paper.
