Fred Levinton,M. C. Zarnstorff,S. H. Batha,M.G. Bell,R. E. Bell,Robert Budny,C.E. Bush,Z. Chang,E.D. Fredrickson,A. Janos,J. Manickam,A. T. Ramsey,S.A. Sabbagh,G. L. Schmidt,E. J. Synakowski,G. Taylor +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new tokamak confinement regime has been observed on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR), where particle and ion thermal diffusivities drop precipitously by a factor of \ensuremath{\sim}40 to the neoclassical level for the particles and to much less than the NE value for the ions in the region with reversed shear.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Turbulent fluctuations in plasmas with reversed magnetic shear investigated on the Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor are found to be consistent with the suppression of turbulence by the E x B velocity shear.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Mc McGuire et al. as discussed by the authors showed that the amount of lithium on the limiter and the effectiveness of its action can be maximized through injecting four Li pellets into Ohmic plasmas of increasing major and minor radius.
Journal ArticleDOI
Off-Axis Sawteeth and Double-Tearing Reconnection in Reversed Magnetic Shear Plasmas in TFTR
Z. Chang,W. Park,E.D. Fredrickson,S. H. Batha,M. G. Bell,R. E. Bell,Robert Budny,C. E. Bush,A.C. Janos,Fred Levinton,K. McGuire,Hyeon K. Park,S.A. Sabbagh,G. L. Schmidt,S. D. Scott,E. J. Synakowski,H. Takahashi,G. Taylor,M. C. Zarnstorff +18 more
TL;DR: Good agreement between observation and simulation indicates that the off-axis sawteeth are due to a double-tearing magnetic reconnection process in reversed magnetic shear plasmas.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The measured loss rate of energetic alpha particles agreed with the approximately 5% losses expected from alpha particles which are born on unconfined orbits.
