TL;DR: In this article, a regime of improved H mode energy confinement, the VH mode, was obtained following boronization of the DIII-D Tokamak vacuum vessel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimum equilibria for high performance, steady state tokamaks
Y.R. Lin-Liu,R.D. Stambaugh +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the dependence of the ideal ballooning β limit on aspect ratio, A, and elongation κ is systematically explored for nearly 100% bootstrap current driven tokamak equilibria in a wide range of shape parameters.

TL;DR: In this paper, strong shaping, favorable for stability and improved energy confinement, together with a significant expansion of the central region of improved confinement in negative central magnetic shear target plasmas, increased the maximum fusion power produced in DIII-D by a factor of 3.
Journal ArticleDOI
