TL;DR: In this paper, the EPED model was used to predict pedestal height and width for quiescent H-mode (QH) discharges with edge localized modes (ELMs) and found good quantitative agreement across a range of parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors quantified edge conditions in DIII-D to provide insight into the physics of the H?mode regime, and showed that electron temperature is not the key parameter that controls the L-H transition.

TL;DR: The observed magnitude, direction, and radial profile of the offset rotation are consistent with neoclassical theory predictions and result in improvement in the global energy confinement time.

TL;DR: In this article, a new sustained high performance regime, combining discrete edge and core transport barriers, has been discovered in the DIII-D tokamak, where edge localized modes are replaced by a steady oscillation that increases edge particle transport, thereby allowing particle control with no ELM-induced pulsed divertor heat load.

TL;DR: In this paper, the L-mode to H-mode transition in the DIII-D tokamak is associated with the sudden reduction in anomalous, fluctuation-connected transport across the outer midplane of the plasma.
