TL;DR: Type-I edge-localized modes have been mitigated at the JET tokamak using a static external n=1 perturbation field generated by four error field correction coils located far from the plasma.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed and tested a model, EPED1.6, for the H-mode pedestal height and width based upon two fundamental and calculable constraints: onset of non-local peeling-ballooning modes at low to intermediate mode number, and onset of nearly local kinetic ballooning mode at high mode number.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors obtained 2/3 of the ITER normalized heat flux Psep/R = 15 MW m−1 under partially detached conditions with a peak target heat flux well below 10MW m−2.

TL;DR: In this article, the nonlinear reduced four-field RMHD model was extended to include plasma rotation, neoclassical poloidal viscosity and two fluid diamagnetic effects, and strong screening of central islands was observed limiting RMP penetration to the narrow region near the separatrix.

TL;DR: The experimental characterization of pedestal parameters, edge localized mode (ELM) energy, and particle losses from the main plasma and the corresponding ELM energy fluxes on plasma facing components for a series of dedicated experiments in the Joint European Torus (JET) is presented in this paper.
