TL;DR: Sorbom et al. as mentioned in this paper extended the ARC pilot plant conceptual design study to explore options for managing ∼525 MW of fusion power generated in a compact, high field tokamak that is approximately the size of JET.

TL;DR: This Letter shows that the steady-state profiles, the cold-pulse rise time, and disappearance at higher density as measured in these experiments are successfully captured by a recent local quasilinear turbulent transport model, demonstrating that the existence of nonlocal transport phenomena is not necessary for explaining the behavior and time scales of cold-Pulse experiments in tokamak plasmas.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of the edge ion heat flux for transitions from L-mode to H-mode in Alcator C-Mod is investigated. And the results are discussed from the point of view of the possible physics mechanism of the L-H transition.

TL;DR: In this article, global, nonlinear, ion-scale GYRO simulations are able to match the experimental ion heat flux, but underpredict electron heat flux (at most radii), electron temperature fluctuations, and perturbative thermal diffusivity in both L- and I-mode.

TL;DR: In this article, a fully Bayesian approach for the inference of radial profiles of impurity transport coefficients is presented, which can handle complex parameter spaces with multiple possible solutions, offering great advantages in interpretative power and reliability with respect to previously demonstrated methods.
