TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the 2014-2016 JET results in the light of their significance for optimising the ITER research plan for the active and non-active operation, stressing the importance of the magnetic configurations and the recent measurements of fine-scale structures in the edge radial electric.

TL;DR: Experiments performed on FTU (Frascati Tokamak Upgrade) show that the coupled radio frequency power can penetrate into high-density plasmas due to weaker plasma edge effects, thus extending the effective range of lower hybrid current drive towards the domain relevant for fusion reactors.

TL;DR: In this article, the processes underlying the excitation of fishbone-like internal kink instabilities driven by supra-thermal electrons generated experimentally by different means: electron cyclotron resonance heating (ECRH) and by lower hybrid (LH) power injection.

TL;DR: By incorporating parametric instabilities of lower hybrid (LH) waves into a ray-tracing Fokker-Planck code, accurate simulations of the LH deposition profiles are provided, which are useful for interpreting the long-lasting internal transport barriers sustained by lower hybrid current drive on JET.

TL;DR: FAST as mentioned in this paper is a new machine proposed to support ITER experimental exploitation as well as to anticipate DEMO relevant physics and technology, which is aimed at studying, under burning plasma relevant conditions, fast particle (FP) physics, plasma operations and plasma wall interaction in an integrated way.
