A new look at density limits in tokamaks

TL;DR: In this article, it is shown that this limit may be caused by a dramatic deterioration in core particle confinement occurring as the density limit boundary is approached, which can help explain the disruptions and Marfes that are associated with density limit.
Journal ArticleDOI

Scaling of the tokamak near the scrape-off layer H-mode power width and implications for ITER

TL;DR: In this paper, a multi-machine database for the Hmode scrape-off layer power fall-off length, λq in JET, DIII-D, ASDEX upgrade, C-Mod, NSTX and MAST has been assembled under the auspices of the International Tokamak Physics Activity Regression inside the database.
Journal ArticleDOI

First results from Alcator‐C‐MOD*

TL;DR: Early operation of the Alcator C-MOD tokamak [I.H. Hutchinson et al., 1990] is surveyed and the edge plasma shows a wealth of marfe-like phenomena, including a transition to detachment from the divertor plates with accompanying radiative divertor regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Edge turbulence measurements in toroidal fusion devices

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed measurements of edge plasma turbulence in toroidal magnetic fusion devices with an emphasis on recent results in tokamaks, showing that the dominant feature of edge turbulence is a high level of broadband density fluctuations with a relative amplitude δn/n ~ 5-100%.
