TL;DR: In this article, a combination of state-of-the-art imaging and profile diagnostics, together with established plasma simulation codes, are providing for the first time on Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak (MAST) the tools required for studying confinement and transport, from the core through to the plasma edge and scrape-off-layer (SOL).

TL;DR: In this paper, the particle confinement of pellet-fuelled plasmas as measured in the Mega Ampere Spherical Tokamak was quantified and the post-pellet dynamics of the density profile was characterized by the pellet retention time.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive range of H-mode behavior has been observed providing similar and contrasting comparisons with conventional tokamaks, including similarities in Hmode edge and global evolutions, increases in confinement and ELM behaviour.
